Complete Question
You determine that it takes 26.0 mL of base to neutralize a sample of your unknown acid solution. The pH of the solution was 7.82 when exactly 13 mL of base had been added, you notice that the concentration of the unknown acid was 0.1 M. What is the pKa of your unknown acid?
Answer:
The pK_a value is
Explanation:
From the question we are told
The volume of base is 
The pH of solution is 
The concentration of the acid is 
From the pH we can see that the titration is between a strong base and a weak acid
Let assume that the the volume of acid is 
Generally the concentration of base

Substituting value


When 13mL of the base is added a buffer is formed
The chemical equation of the reaction is

Now before the reaction the number of mole of base is
![No \ of \ moles[N_B] = C_B * V_B](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=No%20%5C%20of%20%5C%20moles%5BN_B%5D%20%20%3D%20%20C_B%20%2A%20V_B)
Substituting value

Now before the reaction the number of mole of acid is

Substituting value


Now after the reaction the number of moles of base is zero i.e has been used up
this mathematically represented as

The number of moles of acid is


The pH of this reaction can be mathematically represented as
![pH = pK_a + log \frac{[base]}{[acid]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%20%20%3D%20pK_a%20%2B%20log%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Bbase%5D%7D%7B%5Bacid%5D%7D)

Answer:
6 x 10⁵ kg Hg
Explanation:
The mass of mercury in the entire lake is found by multiplying the concentration of the mercury by the volume of the lake.
The volume of the lake is calculated in cubic feet:
V = (SA)x(depth) = (100mi²)(5280ft/mi)² x (20ft) = 5.57568 x 10¹⁰ ft³
Cubic feet are then converted to mL (1cm³=1mL)
(5.57568 x 10¹⁰ ft³) x (12in/ft)³ x (2.54cm/in)³ = 1.578856752 x 10¹⁵ mL
The mass of mercury is then found:
m = CV = (0.4μg/mL)(1g/10⁶μg)(1kg/1000g) x (1.578856752 x 10¹⁵ mL) = 6 x 10⁵ kg Hg
Boiling point elevation is given as:
ΔTb=iKbm
Where,
ΔTb=elevation in the boiling point
that is given by expression:
ΔTb=Tb (solution) - Tb (pure solvent)
Here Tb (pure solvent)=118.1 °C
i for CaCO3= 2
Kb=2.93 °C/m
m=Molality of CaCO₃:
Molality of CaCO₃=Number of moles of CaCO₃/ Mass of solvent (Kg)
=(Given Mass of CaCO3/Molar mass of CaCO₃)/ Mass of solvent (Kg)
=(100.0÷100 g/mol)/0.4
= 2.5 m
So now putting value of m, i and Kb in the boiling point elevation equation we get:
ΔTb=iKbm
=2×2.93×2.5
=14.65 °C
boiling point of a solution can be calculated:
ΔTb=Tb (solution) - Tb (pure solvent)
14.65=Tb (solution)-118.1
Tb (solution)=118.1+14.65
=132.75
Answer:
This question is incomplete
Explanation:
This question is incomplete but one can assume the answer from the definition of quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is the science that describes particles in nature at the atomic and subatomic particle (electron, proton and neutron) level. Thus it can be assumed that atoms and subatomic particles are used to broadly describe particles.
