A buffer is made that is .10M propanoic acid (pKa = 4.9) and .05M sodium propanoate. Calculate the pH.

1 answer:

7 0

PKa= 4.9 therefore ka= 10^-4.9= 1.259x10^-5

$ka= \frac{[H^+][CH3CH2COO^-]}{[CH3CH2COOH]}$

$[CH3CH2COO^-]
$ = 0.05
$[CH3CH2COOH]$ = 0.10

Therefore 1.259x10^-5 = $\frac{[H^+][0.05]}{[0.1]}$
Rearrange the equation to make the concentration of hydrogen the subject.
Therefore $[H^+] = \frac{(1.259*10^-5)(0.1)}{0.05}$

Therefore $[H^+]= 2.513*10^-5$

pH= -log [ $H^+$ ] = -log(2.513*10^-5)= 4.59.

This shielding is a maximum for UV light having a wavelength of 295nanometers. What is the frequency in hertz of this particular

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{1.016 $\times 10^{15}$ Hz}}$

Explanation:

The formula relating the frequency (f) and wavelength (λ) is

fλ = c

1. Convert nanometres to metres

295 nm = 295 × 10⁻⁹ m

2. Calculate the frequency

$\begin{array}{rcl}f \times 295 \times 10^{-9} \text{ m}& =& 2.998 \times 10^{8} \text{ m$\cdot$s$^{-1}$}\\\\f & = & \dfrac{2.998 \times 10^{8} \text{ m$\cdot$s$^{-1}$}}{295 \times 10^{-9}\text{ m}}\\\\& = &1.016 \times 10^{15}\text{ s}^{-1}\\& = &\large \boxed{\textbf{1.016 $\mathbf{\times 10^{15}}$ Hz}}\end{array}$

Hat is the molar mass of a substance?

Morgarella [4.7K]

The molar mass is what would you find on the periodic table and it is used in the mole conversions within chemistry. So the answer would have to be A: the mass in grams of one mole of a substance.

What characteristic frequencies in the infrared spectrum of your estradiol product will you look for to determine whether the ca

gladu [14]

Answer:

Strong broad peak around 3200-3600 cm-1 should be present

Strong peak around around 1700 cm-1 should be absent

Explanation:

Infrared spectroscopy is an analytical technique which is used for molecular structure characterization by identifying the functional groups present in a given molecule based on the absorption wavelength (or wavenumber).

In an IR spectrum the carbonyl group is associated with the C=O stretch which occurs as a strong peak around around 1700 cm-1. For alcohol the -corresponding O-H stretching frequency occurs as a strong broad peak between 3200-3600 cm-1.

Therefore, in the case of estradiol the presence a strong broad peak in the 3200-3600 cm-1 and the absence of the peak at around 1700 cm-1. would suggest that the transformation is complete.

What pressure (in kilopascals) is exerted by 4.20 moles of Xenon gas in a 15.0 L container at 280.0 K?

aniked [119]

Answer: the pressure exerted by the gas is 652 x 10^3 Pa, which corresponds to 652 kPa

Explanation:

The question requires us to calculate the pressure, in kPa, connsidering the following information:

number of moles = n = 4.20mol

volume of gas = V = 15.0L

temperature of gas = T = 280.0 K

We can use the equation of ideal gases to calculate the pressure of the gas, as shown by the rearranged equation below:

$PV=nRT\rightarrow P=\frac{nRT}{V}$

Since the volume was given in L and the question requires us to calculate the pressure in kPa, we can use R in units of L.Pa/K.mol:

R = 8314.46 L.Pa/K.mol

Applying the values given by the question to the rearranged equation above, we'll have:

$\begin{gathered} P=\frac{nRT}{V} \\ \\ P=\frac{(4.20mol)\times(8314.46L.Pa/K.mol)\times(280.0K)}{(15.0L)}=652\times10^3Pa \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the pressure exerted by the gas is 652 x 10^3 Pa, which corresponds to 652 kPa.
