Answer:

1) pH = 4.51

2) pH = 4.87.

3) pH = 12.32

Explanation:

1) the Ka of propanoic acid is 1.34 X 10⁻⁵

Therefore pKa = 4.87

When we add 5 mL of 0.300 M NaOH the moles of base added is

moles = molarity X volume

moles = 0.300 X 5mL = 1.5 mmoles

moles of acid present = molarity X volume = 0.165 X 30.0 = 4.95 mmoles

on addition of 1.5 mmoles of base the moles of acid neutralized = 1.5mmole

This will result in formation of salt of the acid

the moles of salt formed = 1.5 mmoles

the moles of acid left = 4.95 - 1.5 = 3.45 mmol

this acid and its salt mixture results in formation of a buffer

the pH of buffer is calculated as:

pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid]

pH = 4.87 + log [1.5/3.45] = 4.51

2) at half equivalence point the moles of acid becomes equal to moles of salt formed thus the pH of solution will become equal to the pKa of acid

pH = 4.87.

3) the moles of based added due to addition of 20.0 mL = molarity X volume

moles = 0.300 X 20 = 6mmol

This will completely neutralize the acid (4.95 mmol)

after neutralization the moles of base left = 6-4.95 = 1.05 mmol

Total volume of solution  = volume of acid + volume of base =30+20=50

concentration of hydroxide ion (due to excess base) = \frac{mmoles}{volume(mL)}

[OH⁻]=0.021

pOH = -log[OH⁻]=1.68

pH = 14-pOH = 12.32

How does the use of hydroelectric energy compare to the use of coal?
lora16 [44]
<span>Hydroelectric energy uses the movement of water to spin a turbine and produce electricity. Coal is a fossil fuel that is burned as an energy source, which results in emissions such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and sulfur. Coal use is associated with waste products both from the mining process to acquire the coal and also from the actual use of coal itself. Hydroelectric energy does not involve waste, but does pose potential problems to waterways. Coal use is more common than the use of hydroelectric energy.</span>

In IR spectroscopy, we normally talk about "frequencies" when in reality we are referring to wavenumbers. What is the mathematic
Svetach [21]

Answer:

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

(b) Wavenumber and wavelength

The wavenumber is the distance over which a cycle repeats, that is, it is the number of waves in a unit distance.

\bar \nu = \dfrac{1}{\lambda}

Thus, if λ = 3 µm,

\bar \nu = \dfrac{1}{3 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m}}= 3.3 \times 10^{5}\text{ m}^{-1} = \textbf{3300 cm}^{-1}

(a) Wavenumber and frequency

Since

λ = c/f and 1/λ = f/c

the relation between wavenumber and frequency is

\bar \nu = \mathbf{\dfrac{f}{c}}

Thus, if f = 90 THz

\bar \nu = \dfrac{90 \times 10^{12} \text{ s}^{-1}}{3 \times 10^{8} \text{ m$\cdot$ s}^{-1}}= 3 \times 10^{5} \text{ m}^{-1} = \textbf{3000 cm}^{-1}

(c) Units

(i) Frequency

The units are s⁻¹ or Hz.

(ii) Wavelength

The SI base unit is metres, but infrared wavelengths are usually measured in micrometres (roughly 2.5 µm to 20 µm).

(iii) Wavenumber

The SI base unit is m⁻¹, but infrared wavenumbers are usually measured in cm⁻¹ (roughly 4000 cm⁻¹ to 500 cm⁻¹).

Many enzymes are inhibited irreversibly by heavy metal ions such as Hg2+ , Cu2+ , or Ag+ , which can react with essential sulfhy
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The minimum molecular weight of the enzyme is 29.82 g/mol

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Given data

The volume of the solution = 10 ml = 10*10^-3L

Molarity of the solution = 1.3 mg/ml

moles of AgNO3 added = 0.436 µmol = 0.436 * 10^-3 mmol

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the mass

Density = mass/ volume

1.3mg/mL = mass/ 10.0 mL

mass = 1.3mg/mL *10.0 mL = 13mg

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate minimum molecular weight

Molecular weight = mass of the enzyme / number of moles

Molecular weight of the enzyme = 13mg/ 0.436 * 10^-3 mmol

Molecular weight = 29.82 g/mole

The minimum molecular weight of the enzyme is 29.82 g/mol

Use the particle theory to describe each of the three states of matter.
Anna007 [38]
Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas. Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around. ... Gaseous matter is composed of particles packed so loosely that it has neither a defined shape nor a defined volume.
