Calculation of Original pH from Final pH after Titration A biochemist has 100 mL of a 0.10 M solution of a weak acid with a pKa

of 6.3. She adds 6.0 mL of 1.0 M HCl, which changes the pH to 5.7. What was the pH of the original solution?

Answer:

6.9

Explanation:

A weak acid dissociates in an equilibrium reaction, thus, it is in equilibrium with its conjugate base:

HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻

The equilibrium constant (Ka) can be calculated, where Ka = [H⁺]*[A⁻]/[HA]. Using the -log form, we can also have pKa = -logKa. By the Handerson-Halsebach (HH) equation, the relation between pH and pKa is:

pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]

So, when pH = 5.7, for this acid, the ratio of [acid]/[base] ([HA]/[A-]) is:

5.7 = 6.3 + log[A⁻]/[HA]

log[A⁻]/[HA] = -0.6

log[HA]/[A⁻] = 0.6

[HA]/[A⁻] = 10^{0.6}

[HA]/[A⁻] = 3.98 = 4.0

If the ratio of acid and base is 4 to 1, it means that 80%(4/5) of the acid is protonated after the addition of the HCl.

The initial number of moles of the weak acid was: 100 mL * 0.10 M = 10 mmol, so after the addition of HCl, 8 mmol is in the acid form (80% of 10). It was added 6.0 mmol of HCl (6.0 mL*1.0M). Thus, 6.0 mmol of H+ was added and reacted with the conjugate base of the weak acid.

For the mass conservation, the initial amount of the protonated weak acid must be 2.0 mmol (8 - 6), and the number of moles of the conjugate base was 8.0 mmol. Using the HH equation:

pH = 6.3 + log(8/2)

pH = 6.3 + 0.6

pH = 6.9

How many total orbitals are within the 3s, 3p, and<br> energy level?
Nina [5.8K]

The answer for the following question is explained below.

Therefore the total number of orbitals are " 9 ".

Explanation:

Orbital:

An orbital is a mathematical function that describes the wave-like behavior of an electron,electron pair,or the nucleons.

The total number of orbitals present in the 3rd energy level is 9.

Here,

A 3 s subshell has only one orbital.

A 3 p subshell has three orbitals.

A 3 d subshell has five orbitals.

Therefore the total number of orbitals is:

3 s = 1 orbital

3 p = 3 orbitals

3 d = 5 orbitals

total orbitals in 3rd energy level is = 1 + 3 + 5 =9

Therefore the total number of orbitals are " 9 ".

N204(0) + 2NO2(g)
user100 [1]

setup 1 : to the right

setup 2 : equilibrium

setup 3 : to the left

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The reaction quotient (Q) : determine a reaction has reached equilibrium

For reaction :

aA+bB⇔cC+dD

\tt Q=\dfrac{C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}

Comparing Q with K( the equilibrium constant) :

K is the product of ions in an equilibrium saturated state  

Q is the product of the ion ions from the reacting substance  

Q <K = solution has not occurred precipitation, the ratio of the products to reactants is less than the ratio at equilibrium. The reaction moved to the right (products)

Q = Ksp = saturated solution, exactly the precipitate will occur, the system at equilibrium

Q> K = sediment solution, the ratio of the products to reactants is greater than the ratio at equilibrium. The reaction moved to the left (reactants)

Keq = 6.16 x 10⁻³

Q for reaction N₂O₄(0) ⇒ 2NO₂(g)

\tt Q=\dfrac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2O_4]}

Setup 1 :

\tt Q=\dfrac{0.0064^2}{0.098}=0.000418=4.18\times 10^{-4}

Q<K⇒The reaction moved to the right (products)

Setup 2 :

\tt Q=\dfrac{0.0304^2}{0.15}=0.00616=6.16\times 10^{-3}

Q=K⇒the system at equilibrium

Setup 3 :

\tt Q=\dfrac{0.230^2}{0.420}=0.126

Q>K⇒The reaction moved to the left (reactants)

Method A: Does not transfer heat through solids and requires a medium for heat transfer Method B: Requires a material medium and
Paha777 [63]

Method A is Convection

Method B is Conduction

Explanation:

From the problem, we can infer that method A is convection and method B is conduction.

Conduction, convection and radiation are the three main methods of heat transfer.

  • Conduction and convection requires material medium to propagate.
  • Radiation occurs in the absence of a material medium.
  • Conduction mostly occurs in solid. Here, heat is transferred from one hot end to the cold end of the solid. The vibration of the particles in the hot end causes the transfer of kinetic energy to the cold end until thermal equilibrium is reached.
  • In convection, heat is primarily transferred in fluids as a result of density differences. Convection involves the motion of the materials of the medium. Hot air is light and it rises whereas cold air is dense and it sinks.
