A buffer solution is made using a weak acid, HA. If the pH of the buffer is 9 and the ratio of A– to HA is 100, what is the pKa

of HA?

To calculate the pKa of the weak acid, we use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. It is expressed as pH = pKa - log [HA]/[A-]. This equation takes into account the concentration of the substance that does not dissociates into ions since it is a weak acid. We caculate as follows:

pH = pKa - log [HA]/[A-]
9 = pKa - log 1/100
pKa = 7

1-propanol (P1° = 20.9 Torr at 25 °C) and 2-propanol (P2° = 45.2 Torr at 25 °C) form ideal solutions in all proportions. Let x1
jekas [21]

Answer:

y1 = 0.3162

y2 = 0.6838

Explanation:

ok let us begin,

first we would be defining the parameters;

at 25°C;

1-propanol P1° = 20.90 Torr

2-propanol P2° = 45.2 Torr

From Raoults law:

P(1-propanol) = P⁰ × X(1-propanol)

P(1-propanol) = 20.9 torr × 0.45 = 9.405

P(1-propanol) = 9.405 torr

Also P(2-propanol) = P⁰ × X(2-propanol)

P(2-propanol) = 45.2 torr × 0.45

P(2-propanol) = 20.34 torr

but the total pressure = sum of individual pressures

total pressure = 9.405 + 20.34

total pressure = 29.745 torr

given that y1 and y2 represent the mole fraction of each in the vapor phase

y1 = P1 / total pressure

y1 = 9.405/29.745

y1 = 0.3162

Since y1 + y2 = 1

y2 = 1 - y1

∴ y2 = 1 -  0.3162

y2 = 0.6838

cheers, i hope this helps.

The red line of the hydrogen emission spectrum has a wavelength of 656.1 nm. Calculate the energy of one photon
Effectus [21]

The formula we can use here is the Plancks equation:

E = h c / ʎ

where h is Plancks constant = 6.626 × 10-34 m2 kg / s, c is speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s and ʎ is wavelength = 656.1 x 10^-9 m

 

Therefore E is:

E = (6.626 × 10-34 m2 kg / s) * (3 x 10^8 m/s) / 656.1 x 10^-9 m

<span>E = 3.03 x 10^-19 J</span>
