To determine the empirical formula of the compound given, we need to determine the ratio of each element in the compound. To do that we assume to have 100 grams sample of the compound with the given composition. Then, we calculate for the number of moles of each element. We do as follows:<span>
         mass        moles
C       56.79        4.73
H       6.56          6.50
O       28.37        1.77
N      8.28           0.59

Dividing the number of moles of each element with the smallest value, we will have the empirical formula:

</span>         moles                 ratio
C       4.73     / 0.59       8
H       6.50     / 0.59      11
O       1.77     / 0.59       3
N        0.59    / 0.59       1<span>
</span><span>
The empirical formula would be C8H11O3N.</span>

What is the ph of a 0.014 M HCL solution?
Allushta [10]

Answer:

pH = 1.853

Explanation:

For every mole of hydrochloric acid, one mole of hydronium ion is required. Thus, in order to neutralize 0.014 moles of HCL, 0.014 moles of hydronium is required.

[H_3O^+] = [HCl] = 0.014

pH  = -log [H^+] = -log [H_3O^+]

Substituting the available values in above equation, we can say that   the pH of the solution is equal to

- log (0.014)

pH = 1.853

pH of a 0.014 M HCL solution = 1.853

5. What concentration of acid must be added to change the pH of 1 mM phosphate buffer from 7.4 to 7.3 (pKas of the phosphate buf
mr_godi [17]

Explanation:

According to the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, the relation between pH and pK_{a} is as follows.

               pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{base}{acid}

where,     pH = 7.4 and pK_{a} = 7.21

As here, we can use the pK_{a} nearest to the desired pH.

So,      7.4 = 7.21 + log \frac{base}{acid}

             0.19 = log \frac{base}{acid}

            \frac{base}{acid} = 1.55

1 mM phosphate buffer means [HPO_{4}] + [H_{2}PO_{4}] = 1 mM

Therefore, the two equations will be as follows.

           \frac{HPO_{4}}{H_{2}PO_{4}} = 1.55 ............. (1)

  [HPO_{4}] + [H_{2}PO_{4}] = 1 mM ........... (2)        

Now, putting the value of [HPO_{4}] from equation (1) into equation (2) as follows.

             1.55[H_{2}PO_{4}] + [tex][H_{2}PO_{4}] = 1 mM

                        2.55 [H_{2}PO_{4}] = 1 mM

                             [H_{2}PO_{4}] = 0.392 mM

Putting the value of [H_{2}PO_{4}] in equation (1) we get the following.

                     0.392 mM + [HPO_{4}] = 1 mM

                          [HPO_{4}] = (1 - 0.392) mM

                              [HPO_{4}] = 0.608 mM

Thus, we can conclude that concentration of the acid must be 0.608 mM.
