Answer:
pH = 2.69
Explanation:
The complete question is:<em> An analytical chemist is titrating 182.2 mL of a 1.200 M solution of nitrous acid (HNO2) with a solution of 0.8400 M KOH. The pKa of nitrous acid is 3.35. Calculate the pH of the acid solution after the chemist has added 46.44 mL of the KOH solution to it.</em>

The reaction of HNO₂ with KOH is:
HNO₂ + KOH → NO₂⁻ + H₂O + K⁺
Moles of HNO₂ and KOH that react are:
HNO₂ = 0.1822L × (1.200mol / L) = <em>0.21864 moles HNO₂</em>
KOH = 0.04644L × (0.8400mol / L) = <em>0.0390 moles KOH</em>
That means after the reaction, moles of HNO₂ and NO₂⁻ after the reaction are:
NO₂⁻ = 0.03900 moles KOH = moles NO₂⁻
HNO₂ = 0.21864 moles HNO₂ - 0.03900 moles = 0.17964 moles HNO₂
It is possible to find the pH of this buffer (<em>Mixture of a weak acid, HNO₂ with the conjugate base, NO₂⁻), </em>using H-H equation for this system:
pH = pKa + log₁₀ [NO₂⁻] / [HNO₂]
pH = 3.35 + log₁₀ [0.03900mol] / [0.17964mol]
<h3>pH = 2.69</h3>
Note that it says oxygen "gas"
So you need the atomic mass of oxygen gas
Look at your periodic table, you'll see 15.9994 under oxygen
Oxygen gas has a formula of O2 therefore,
(15.9994) times 2= Oxygen gas atomic mass=31.9988
Mol= Mass/Atomic Mass
=62.3 g/ 31.9988 g/mol = 1.95 mol
now look at the ratio of C2H6 and O2, notice there is an invisible number beside each of them, at that "invisible number" is =1
1 C2H6 + 1 O2 -> products
this means that for 1 mol of C2H6, 1 mol of O2 has to react with it
Thus as we have 1.95 moles of O2, we need 1.95 moles of C2H6
Answer: HCl
Explanation:
calcium carbonate dissolves in HCl acid producing CO 2 gas. It will not dissolve in pure water. The Ksp for calcium carbonate in water is 3.4 x 10-9 moldm-3 which is very low. What takes place here is actually a chemical reaction:
CaCO 3 (s) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl 2 (aq) + H 2CO 3(aq)
This reaction accounts for the solubility of the Calcium carbonate in HCl and not in pure water.
