This problem could be solved easily using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation used for preparing buffer solutions. The equation is written below:
pH = pKa + log[(salt/acid]
Where salt represents the molarity of salt (sodium lactate), while acid is the molarity of acid (lactic acid).
Moles of salt = 1 mol/L * 25 mL * 1 L/1000 mL = 0.025 moles salt
Moles of acid = 1 mol/L* 60 mL * 1 L/1000 mL = 0.06 moles acid
Total Volume = (25 mL + 60 mL)*(1 L/1000 mL) = 0.085 L
Molarity of salt = 0.025 mol/0.085 L = 0.29412 M
Molarity of acid = 0.06 mol/0.085 L = 0.70588 M
Thus,
pH = 3.86 + log(0.29412/0.70588)
pH = 3.48
Answer:
The mass of 0.280 mole sample of sodium hydroxide NaOH is 11.2 grams.
Explanation:
To know the mass in grams of 0.280 moles of sample of sodium hydroxide NaOH, you must know the molar mass of the compound, that is, the mass of one mole of a substance, which can be an element or a compound.
So you know:
- Na: 23 g/mole
- O: 16 g/mole
- H: 1 g/mole
So, the molar mass of NaOH is:
NaOH= 23 g/mole + 16 g/mole+ 1 g/mole= 40 g/mole
Then the following rule of three can be applied: if in 1 mole of sodium hydroxide there are 40 grams, in 0.280 moles how much mass is there?
mass= 11.2 grams
<u><em>The mass of 0.280 mole sample of sodium hydroxide NaOH is 11.2 grams.</em></u>
Answer:
Bromine mollecules are held together by van der waals forces while a water molecule constitutes both van der waals forces and hydrogen bomnding
Explanation:
This makes the water molecule recquire more heat energy to break the bond thus a higher boiling point while bromine structure requires just litttle heat energy
