Your job is to determine the concentration of ammonia in a commercial window cleaner. In the titration of a 25.0 mL sample of th

e cleaner, the equivalence point is reached after 23.8 mL of 0.164 M HCl has been added. What is the initial concentration of ammonia in the solution? What is the pH of the solution at the equivalence point?

Answer:

The initial concentration of ammonia is 0.14 M and the pH of the solution at equivalence point is 5.20

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}      .....(1)

Molarity of HCl solution = 0.164 M

Volume of solution = 23.8 mL = 0.0238 L    (Conversion factor:  1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.164M=\frac{\text{Moles of HCl}}{0.0238L}\\\\\text{Moles of HCl}=(0.146mol/L\times 0.0238L)=0.0035mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of ammonia and HCl follows:

NH_3+HCl\rightarrow NH_4^++Cl^-

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of HCl reacts with 1 mole of ammonia

So, 0.0035 moles of HCl will react with = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.0035=0.0035mol of ammonia

  • Calculating the initial concentration of ammonia by using equation 1:

Moles of ammonia = 0.0035 moles

Volume of solution = 25 mL = 0.025 L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Initial concentration of ammonia}=\frac{0.0035mol}{0.025L}=0.14M

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of ammonia produces 1 mole of ammonium ion

So, 0.0035 moles of ammonia will react with = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.0035=0.0035mol of ammonium ion

  • Calculating the concentration of ammonium ion by using equation 1:

Moles of ammonium ion = 0.0035 moles

Volume of solution = [23.8 + 25] mL = 48.8 mL = 0.0488 L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Molarity of ammonium ion}=\frac{0.0035mol}{0.0488L}=0.072M

  • To calculate the acid dissociation constant for the given base dissociation constant, we use the equation:

K_w=K_b\times K_a

where,

K_w = Ionic product of water = 10^{-14}

K_a = Acid dissociation constant

K_b = Base dissociation constant = 1.8\times 10^{-5}

10^{-14}=1.8\times 10^{-5}\times K_a\\\\K_a=\frac{10^{-14}}{1.8\times 10^{-5}}=5.55\times 10^{-10}

The chemical equation for the dissociation of ammonium ion follows:

NH_4^+\rightarrow NH_3+H^+

The expression of K_a for above equation follows:

K_a=\frac{[NH_3][H^+]}{[NH_4^+]}

We know that:

[NH_3]=[H^+]=x

[NH_4^+]=0.072M

Putting values in above expression, we get:

5.55\times 10^{-10}=\frac{x\times x}{0.072}\\\\x=6.32\times 10^{-6}M

To calculate the pH concentration, we use the equation:

pH=-\log[H^+]

We are given:

[H^+]=6.32\times 10^{--6}M

pH=-\log (6.32\times 10^{-6})\\\\pH=5.20

Hence, the initial concentration of ammonia is 0.14 M and the pH of the solution at equivalence point is 5.20

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

(a) Covalent bond. NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride)

(b) Ionic bond. LiCl (lithium chloride)

Explanation:

<em>(a) N and F</em>

Nitrogen and fluorine are nonmetals, with high and similar electronegativities, so they form covalent bonds, in which they share pairs of electrons to complete the octet in their valence shell. N has 5 valence electrons so it will form 3 covalent bonds while each Cl has 7 valence electrons so it will form 1 covalent bond. As a result, the empirical formula is NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride).

<em>(b) Li and Cl</em>

Lithium is a metal and Chlorine is a nonmetal. They have different electronegativities so they form an ionic bond, in which Cl gains 1 electron (7 valence e⁻) and Li loses 1 electron (1 valence e⁻). The empirical formula is LiCl (lithium chloride).

What causes objects to move or stay still?<br> Claim <br><br> Reasoning:<br><br> Evidence:
kari74 [83]

Answer:

For an object to move, there must be a force. A force is a push or pull that causes an object to move, change direction, change speed, or stop. Without a force, an object that is moving will continue to move and an object at rest will remain at rest.

WINSTONCH [101]

1) Well, you need to logically think about which of the pecan trees would be better. Tree 3 may have more clusters but they taste bitter so this is out of the option. So Tree 4 and Tree 1 would be best because they both have rich and buttery tastes and they both have a lot of clusters.

2) Not quite sure about this one, sorry :(

The half-life of gold-198 is 2.7 days. After
Pie

Answer: 8.1 days

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant = x

a - x = amount left after decay process= \frac{x}{4} 

a) to find rate constant

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

k=\frac{0.693}{2.7days}=0.257days^{-1}

b) for completion of one fourth of reaction

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{x}{\frac{x}{4}}

t=\frac{2.303}{0.257}\log{4}

t=8.1days

Thus after 8.1 days , one fourth of original amount will remain.
