Answer:

b. 3.35

Explanation:

To calculate the pH of a solution containing both acid and its salt (produced as a result of titration) we need to use Henderson’s equation i.e.

pH = pKa + log ([salt]/[acid])     (Eq. 01)

Where  

pKa = -log(Ka)        (Eq. 02)

[salt] = Molar concentration of salt produced as a result of titration

[acid] = Molar concentration of acid left in the solution after titration

Let’s now calculate the molar concentration of HNO2 and KOH considering following chemical reaction:

HNO2 + KOH ⇆ H2O + KNO2    (Eq. 03)

This shows that 01 mole of HNO2 and 01 mole of KOH are required to produce 01 mole of KNO2 (salt). And if any one of them (HNO2 and KOH) is present in lower amount then that will be considered the limiting reactant and amount of salt produced will be in accordance to that reactant.

Moles of HNO2 in 50 mL of 0.01 M HNO2 solution = 50/1000x0.01 = 0.005 Moles

Moles of KOH in 25 mL of 0.01 M KOH solution = 25/1000x0.01 = 0.0025 Moles

As it can be seen that we have 0.0025 Moles of KOH therefore considering Eq. 03 we can see that 0.0025 Moles of KOH will react with only 0.0025 Moles of HNO2 and will produce 0.0025 Moles of KNO2.

Therefore

Amount of salt produced i.e [salt] = 0.0025 moles       (Eq. 04)

Amount of acid left in the solution [acid] = 0.005 - 0.0025 = 0.0025 moles (Eq.05)

Putting the values in (Eq. 01) from (Eq.02), (Eq. 04) and (Eq. 05) we will get the following expression:

pH= -log(4.5x10 -4) + log (0.0025/0.0025)

Solving above we get  

pH = 3.35

How do anion formation and valence electrons relate?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

A cation is formed when a metal ion loses a valence electron while an anion is formed when a non-metal gains a valence electron. They both achieve a more stable electronic configuration through this exchange.

If you were to react 4.3 miles of magnesium phosphide how many moles of potassium would you need?
bixtya [17]

Answer:

25.8

Explanation:

Let's write the reaction between magnesium-phosphide and potassium:

Mg3P2 + K = Mg + K3P

And now let's balance this equation:

Mg3P2+6K=3Mg+2K3P

We see that the ratio of magnesium-phosphide and potassium is 1:6, which means that for every mole of magnesium-phosphide there need to be 6 moles of potassium.

Since we have 4.3 moles of Mg3P2, there need to be 6 • 4.3 = 25.8 moles of potassium.

mestny [16]

Answer:

3Ca₍s₎ + 2FeCl₃ ------------------------------------------------------------->  3CaCl₂ + 2Fe₍s₎.

Explanation:

Iron(III) chloride is also known as Iron trichloride and it has the molar mass value of 162.2 g/mol and density of 2.9 g/cm³.

<em>The balanced equation for the chemical reaction between solid calcium and iron (III) chloride is given below as:  </em>

<em />

3Ca₍s₎ + 2FeCl₃ ------------------------------------------------------------->  3CaCl₂ + 2Fe₍s₎.

This kind of chemical reaction is known as <em>single displacement reaction or single replacement reaction. </em>
