Ammonia (NH3) ionizes according to the following reaction: NH3(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ NH4+(aq) + OH–(aq) The base dissociation constant

for ammonia (NH3) is Kb = 1.8 × 10–5. Ammonia (NH3) also has a chloride salt, ammonium chloride (NH4Cl), which is soluble in water. If 0.070 M of ammonia (NH3) and 0.035 M of its salt ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) are mixed in a solution, what is the pH of this solution?

Answer:

pH = 9.6

Explanation:

According to Brönsted-Lowry theory, NH₃ is a base and NH₄⁺ its conjugate acid. When they are together in a solution, the form a buffer, which is used to resist abrupt changes in pH when an acid or a base is added. pOH fro a buffer can be found using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.

pOH = pKb + log\frac{conjugateacid}{base}

Since NH₄Cl is a strong electrolyte, [NH₄Cl] = [NH₄⁺]

pOH = pKb + log\frac{[NH_{4}^{+} ]}{[NH_{3}]} =4.7+log\frac{0.035M}{0.070M} =4.4

Now, we can find pH using the following expression:

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 4.4 = 9.6

The compound cisplatin, pt(nh3)2cl2 , has been studied extensively as an antitumor agent.
Nataliya [291]

a. Elemental percent composition is the mass percent of each element in the compound.

The formula for mass elemental percent composition = \frac{mass of element}{mass of compound}   (1)

The molecular formula of cisplatin is Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2.

The atomic weight of the elements in cisplatin is:

Platinum, Pt = 195.084 u

Nitrogen, N = 14.0067 u

Hydrogen, H = 1 u

Chlorine, Cl = 35.453 u

The molar mass of Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2 = 195.084+ (2\times 14.0067)+(6\times 1)+(2\times 35.453) = 300.00 g/mol

The mass of each element calculated using formula (1):

- Platinum, Pt %

\frac{195.084}{300.00} \times 100 = 65.23%.

- Nitrogen, N%

\frac{2\times 14.0067}{300.00} \times 100 = 9.34%

- Hydrogen, H%

\frac{6\times 1}{300.00} \times 100 = 2.0%

- Chlorine, Cl%

\frac{2\times 35.453}{300.00} \times 100 = 23.63%

b. The given reaction of cisplatin is:

K_2PtCl_4(aq)+2NH_3(aq)\rightarrow Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2(s)+2KCl(aq)

According to the balanced reaction, 1 mole of K_2PtCl_4 gives 1 mole of Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2.

Now, calculating the number of moles of K_2PtCl_4 in 100.0 g.

Number of moles = \frac{given mass}{Molar mass}

Molar mass of K_2PtCl_4 = 2\times 39.0983+195.084+4\times 35.453 = 415.093 g/mol

Number of moles of K_2PtCl_4 = \frac{100 g}{415.093 g/mol} = 0.241 mole.

Since, 1 mole of K_2PtCl_4 gives 1 mole of Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2. Therefore, mass of cisplatin is:

0.241 mole\times 300 g/mol = 72.3 g

For mass of KCl:

Molar mass of KCl = 39.0983 + 35.453 = 74.55 g/mol

Since, 1 mole of K_2PtCl_4 gives 2 mole of KCl. Therefore, mass of KCl is:

0.241 mole\times 74.55 g/mol\times 2 = 35.93 g

Write the condensed formula from left to right, starting with (CH3)x where x is a number.
pochemuha

Complete question:

Write the condensed formula from left to right, starting with (CH3)x where x is a number.

See attached image for the structure formula of the compound

Answer:

(CH₃)₂CHC(CH₃)₃ named as 2,2,3-Trimethylbutane

Explanation:

If we number the longest chain of the carbon starting from the left, we will observe that there are four carbons in the straight chain as shown in the image.

Starting from first carbon from the left of the carbon chain, at carbon number number 2, there two alkyl group, that is two methyl (CH3 is two). Also at carbon number 3, there are three alkyl group, that is three methyl (CH3 is three).

The condensed formula will be written as;

(CH₃)₂CHC(CH₃)₃

This compound is named as 2,2,3-Trimethylbutane, an isomer of Heptane
