Answer:

A mixture of 100. mL of 0.1 M HC3H5O3 and 50. mL of NaOH

Explanation:

The pH of a buffer solution is calculated using following relation

pH=pKa+log(\frac{salt}{acid} )

Thus the pH of buffer solution will be near to the pKa of the acid used in making the buffer solution.

The pKa value of HC₃H₅O₃ acid is more closer to required pH = 4 than CH₃NH₃⁺ acid.

pKa = -log [Ka]

For HC₃H₅O₃

pKa = 3.1

For CH₃NH₃⁺

pKa = 10.64

pKb = 14-10.64 = 3.36 [Thus the pKb of this acid is also near to required pH value)

A mixture of 100. mL of 0.1 M HC3H5O3 and 50. mL of NaOH

Half of the acid will get neutralized by the given base and thus will result in equal concentration of both the weak acid and the salt making the pH just equal to the pKa value.

When ammonium chloride crystals are dissolved in water, the temperature of the water decreases. What does the temperature change
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

A decreasing temperature indicates that the dissolution process for the ammonium chloride requires input of energy from surroundings. That is, the process is essentially 2 parts => system (object of interest - NH₄Cl) and the surroundings (everything else - solvent - H₂O). The surroundings (water) solvent is showing a <u>measured</u> decrease in temperature or loss of energy (exothermic to surroundings) which flows into the system (NH₄Cl) and effects dissolution of salt into solution (endothermic to system).
