. 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%.

0.00000000082 -<br> scientific notation
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

8.2 x 106^-11

Explanation:

To begin this problem you must remember the basic rule of scientific notation, which is, must be between 1-10. .000000000082 is much smaller than 1. However by moving the decimal 11 spots to the right, we can make it 8.2

Continue to move the decimal to the right until the value is in the 1-10 range. Make sure to count the moves to the right.

Once the decimal is in the right spot count the spots moved.

Since the number is wayyy smaller than the answer given the number will be negative 10^-11, in order to make it what is was before.

Which are made matters
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Everything you can hold, taste, or smell is made of matter. Matter makes up everything you can see, including clothes, water, food, plants, and animals. It even makes up some things you cannot see, such as air or the smell of perfume.

A pharmaceutical company is making a large volume of nitrous oxide (NO). They predict they will be able to make a maximum amount
iragen [17]

Answer:

The answer is "Option B"

Explanation:

From the query, the following knowledge is derived:  

Yield in percentage = 47%  

Performance of theory = 4860 g  

Actual yield Rate =?  

The percentage return is defined simply by the ratio between both the real return as well as the conceptual return multiplied by the 100. It's also represented as numerically:

Rate = \frac{Existing \ Rate} {Theoretical \ Rate} \times 100

Now We can obtain the percent yield as followed using the above formula:  

\text{Yield in percentage}= \frac{Actual \ yield \ Rate} {Theorical \ Rate} \times  100

47\% = \frac{Actual \ yield \ Rate}{4860}

The value of the Actual yield Rate =47\% \times 4860

                                                        = \frac{47}{100} \times 4860 \\\\ = 2284.2 g

The Actual yield Rate= 2284.2 g.

The mechanisms of most common reactions consist of two or more elementary steps, each of which describes a single molecular even
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is "True".

Explanation:

A reaction mechanism is a theoretical postulate that tries to explain in a logical way which are the elemental and intermediary reactions that happen in a chemical reaction and that allow to explain the qualitative and quantitative characteristics observed in its development, in which a unique molecular event is described in each elemental step.

Have a nice day!
