Answer:
The correct option is: (D) would function as both an acid and a base
Explanation:
A carbon skeleton bonded to a amino group as well as a carboxyl group, will behave as an acid in basic medium and base in acidic medium. This is because the carboxyl group present in the compound will release a proton in basic medium and the amino group will accept a proton in the acidic medium.
<u>Therefore, a carbon skeleton which is covalently bonded to a carboxyl and amino group will behave as both acid and base.</u>
Answer:
B and C
Explanation:
When we have to do a buffer solution we always have to choose the reaction that has the <u>pKa closer to the desired pH value</u>. When we find the pKa values we will obtain:
![pKa_1=-Log[6.9x10^-^3]=2.16](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pKa_1%3D-Log%5B6.9x10%5E-%5E3%5D%3D2.16)
![pKa_2=-Log[6.2x10^-^8]=7.20](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pKa_2%3D-Log%5B6.2x10%5E-%5E8%5D%3D7.20)
![pKa_3=-Log[4.8x10^-^13]=12.31](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pKa_3%3D-Log%5B4.8x10%5E-%5E13%5D%3D12.31)
The closer value is pKa2 with a value of 7.2. Therefore we have to use the second reaction. In which 
is the <u>acid</u> and 
is the <u>base</u>. Therefore the answer for the first question is B and the answer for the second question is C.
Answer:
The correct answer is 574.59 grams.
Explanation:
Based on the given information, the number of moles of NH₃ will be,
= 2.50 L × 0.800 mol/L
= 2 mol
The given pH of a buffer is 8.53
pH + pOH = 14.00
pOH = 14.00 - pH
pOH = 14.00 - 8.53
pOH = 5.47
The Kb of ammonia given is 1.8 * 10^-5. Now pKb = -logKb,
= -log (1.8 ×10⁻⁵)
= 5.00 - log 1.8
= 5.00 - 0.26
= 4.74
Based on Henderson equation:
pOH = pKb + log ([salt]/[base])
pOH = pKb + [NH₄⁺]/[NH₃]
5.47 = 4.74 + log ([NH₄⁺]/[NH₃])
log([NH₄⁺]/[NH₃]) = 5.47-4.74 = 0.73
[NH₄⁺]/[NH₃] = 10^0.73= 5.37
[NH₄⁺ = 5.37 × 2 mol = 10.74 mol
Now the mass of dry ammonium chloride required is,
mass of NH₄Cl = 10.74 mol × 53.5 g/mol
= 574.59 grams.
