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

Calculate the grams of sodium hydroxide formed when 2.24 moles of sodium oxide react with water
Romashka [77]
The balanced reaction is 
Na2O + H2O --> 2NaOH

If 2.24 moles of sodium oxide react, that means 4.48 moles of NaOH is formed as it is a 1 to 2 stoichiometric relationship.

Now we multiply by the molar mass to get grams.

4.48 moles NaOH * (39.997 grams/1 mole) = 179.2 grams

Your answer is 179. grams.

To answer this question, you will need to write the balanced equation and set up a BCA table. Using appropriate rounding rules,
Elenna [48]

Water decomposes when electrolyzed to produce hydrogen and oxygen gas. If 2.5 grams of water were decomposed 1.04 grams of oxygen will be formed.

BCA table:

2H_{2}O ⇒ H_{2} + O_{2}

B  0.13        0 + 0

C  -0.13      0.065 + 0.065

A  0             0.065

Explanation:

Balanced equation for water decomposition into hydrogen and oxygen gases

   2H_{2}O ⇒ H_{2} + O_{2}

B  0.13        0 + 0

C  -0.13      0.065 + 0.065

A  0             0.065

Number of moles of water = \frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1 mole}

mass = 2.5 grams

atomic mass= 18 grams

number of moles can be known by putting the values in the formula,

n = \frac{2.5}{18}

  = 0.13 moles

2 moles of water gives one mole of oxygen on decomposition

so, 0.13 moles of water will give x moles of oxygen on decompsition

\frac{1}{2} = \frac{x}{0.13}

x = 0.065 moles of oxygen will be formed.

moles to gram will be calculated as

mass =number of moles x atomic mass

        = 0.065 x 16

         = 1.04 grams of oxygen.
