Answer:
We need 12.26 grams H2SO4
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Volume of a H2SO4 solution = 500 mL = 0.500 L
Concentration of the H2SO4 solution = 0.250 M
Molar mass of H2SO4 = 98.08 g/mol
Step 2: Calculate moles H2SO4
Moles H2SO4 = concentration * volume
Moles H2SO4 = 0.250 M * 0.500 L
Moles H2SO4 = 0.125 moles
Step 3: Calculate mass of H2SO4
Mass of H2SO4 = moles * molar mass
Mass of H2SO4 = 0.125 moles * 98.08 g/mol
Mass of H2SO4 = 12.26 grams
We need 12.26 grams H2SO4

Answer: 14.1g
Explanation:
Given that,
number of moles of SiO2 = 0.235 moles
Mass in grams = Z (let unknown value be Z)
Molar mass of SiO2 = ?
To get the molar mass of SiO2, use the atomic mass
Silicon = 28g;
Oxygen = 16g
i.e Molar mass of SiO2 = 28g + (16g x 2)
= 28g + 32g
= 60g/mol
Now, apply the formula
Number of moles = Mass / molar mass
0.235 moles = Z / 60g/mol
Z = 0.235 moles x 60g/mol
Z = 14.1 g
Thus, the mass of SiO2 is 14.1 grams.
Answer:
The final and initial concentration of the acid and it's conjugate base are approximately equal, that is we use the weak acid approximation.
Explanation:
The Henderson-Hasselbalch is used to calculate the pH of a buffer solution. It depends on the weak acid approximation.
Since the weak acid ionizes only to a small extent, then we can say that [HA] ≈ [HA]i
Where [HA] = final concentration of the acid and [HA]i = initial concentration of the acid.
It also follows that [A^-] ≈ [A^-]i where [A^-] and[A^-]i refer to final and initial concentrations of the conjugate base hence the answer above.
