. In your lab you are studying aspirin, and its acid/base properties. You find that a 1.00 L of a 0.500 M solution of aspirin ha

s a pH of 1.86. You are interested in learning about the % dissociation in a buffered solution of aspirin, so you make a new 1.00 L solution containing 0.500 moles of aspirin and 0.25 moles of the sodium salt of aspirin. What will the % dissociation be in this new buffered solution?

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Initial volume of aspirin = 1.00 L

Initial concentration of aspirin = 0.500 M

Initial pH = 1.86

Hence, hydronium ion concentration will be calculated as follows.

               pH = -log[H^{+}]

or,              [H^{+}] = 10^{-pH}

                               = 10^{-1.86}

                                = 13.8 \times 10^{-3} M

As, buffer containing aspirin and its conjugate base is formed in 1 L solution.

Hence, moles of aspirin are 0.500 moles and moles of the conjugate base are 0.25 moles.

So, upon dissociation the concentration of acetylsalicylate ion and hydronium ion are the same.

Hence, pK_{a} value will be calculated as follows.

             K_{a} = \frac{[H^{+}]^{2}}{[Aspirin]}

                           = \frac{[13.8 \times 10^{-3}]^{2}}{0.50}

                           = 3.8 \times 10^{-4}

Also,       pK_{a} = -log [K_{a}]

                          = -log [3.8 \times 10^{-4}]

                           = 3.41

Now, using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation we determine the pH as follows.

      pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{[CH_{3}COO^{-}]}{[Aspirin]}

            = 3.41 + log \frac{[0.25]}{[0.5]}

            = 3.11

Determine the hydronium ion concentration of buffer as follows.

          [H^{+}] = 10^{-pH}

                            = 10^{-3.11}

                            = 7.76 \times 10^{-4} M

Therefore, we calculate the recent dissociation as follows.

          % dissociation = \frac{\text{Amount dissociated}}{\text{Initial concentration}} \times 100%

                                   = \frac{0.000776}{0.50 M} \times 100%

                                   = 1.5 \times 10^{-3} × 100

                                   = 0.15%

Thus, we can conclude that the value of % dissociation of new buffered solution is 0.15%.

A balloon vendor at a street fair is using a tank of helium to fill her balloons. The tank has a volume of 124.0 L and a pressur
amm1812

Answer:

She lost 50.88 moles

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The volume of the tank = 124.0 L

The initial pressure = 104.0 atm

The temperature = 24.0 °C = 297 K

The pressure drops to 94.0 atm

The temperature stays constant at 297 K

Step 2: Calculate the initial number of moles

p*V = n*R*T

n = (p*V)/(R*T)

⇒with p = the initial pressure = 104.0 atm

⇒with V = the initial volume = 124.0 L

⇒with n = the initial number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

⇒ with T = the temperature= 297 K

n = (104.0*124.0)/(0.08206*297)

n = 529.14 moles

Step 3: Calculate final number of moles

p*V = n*R*T

n = (p*V)/(R*T)

⇒with p = the initial pressure = 94.0 atm

⇒with V = the initial volume = 124.0 L

⇒with n = the initial number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

⇒ with T = the temperature= 297 K

n = (94.0*124.0)/(0.08206*297)

n = 478.26 moles

Step 4: Calculate the difference of moles

529.14 moles - 478.26 moles = 50.88 moles

She lost 50.88 moles

How many total electrons can be contained in the 4d sublevel? <br> 2<br> 6<br> 10<br> 14
qaws [65]
<span>The s sublevel has just one orbital, so can contain 2 electrons max. The p sublevel has 3 orbitals, so can contain 6 electrons max. The d sublevel has 5 orbitals, so can contain 10 electrons max. And the 4 sublevel has 7 orbitals, so can contain 14 electrons max.
So, having this in mind, 10 electrons in total can be contained in the 4d sublevel.
