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

If the theoretical yield of a reaction is 0.110 g and the actual yield is 0.104 g , what is the percent yield?
Westkost [7]
Theoretical Yield is an Ideal yield with 100 % conversion of reactant to product. It is in fact a paper work.

While,

Actual Yield is the yield which is obtained experimentally. It is always less than theoretical yield because it is not possible to have 100% conversion of reactants into products. Even some amount of product is lost while handling it during the process.

Percentage Yield is Calculated as,

                    %age Yield  =  Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield × 100

Data Given:
                   Actual Yield  =  0.104 g

                   Theoretical Yield  =  0.110 g

Putting Values,

                    %age Yield  =  0.104 g / 0.110 g × 100

                    %age Yield  =  94.54 %

What is the change in enthalpy when 4.00 mol of sulfur trioxide decomposes to sulfur dioxide and oxygen gas? 250 2(g) + O2(g) ®
lidiya [134]

Answer: A. -396 kJ

Explanation:

The standard enthalpy of formation or standard heat of formation of a compound is the change of enthalpy during the formation of 1 mole of the substance from its constituent elements, with all substances in their standard states.

2SO_2(g)+O_2 (g)\rightarrow 2SO_3(g)  \Delta H^0=198kJ

Reversing the reaction, changes the sign of \Delta H

2SO_3(g)\rightarrow 2SO_2(g)+O_2 (g)  \Delta H^0=-198kJ

On multiplying the reaction by 2, enthalpy gets multiplied by 2:

4SO_3(g)\rightarrow 4SO_2(g)+2O_2 (g)   \Delta H=2\times -198kJ=-396kJ

Thus the enthalpy change for the reaction 4SO_3(g)\rightarrow 4SO_2(g)+2O_2 (g)  is -396 kJ.
