Calculate the volume, in milliliters, of a 0.330 M KOH solution that should be added to 6.000 g of HEPES (MW = 238.306 g/mol, pK

a = 7.56 ) to give a pH of 7.36.

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{ 29.3 mL}}

Explanation:

HEPES is a zwitterion. That is, it has both the acid and base components in the same molecule. However, we can write its formula as HA. Then the equation for the equilibrium is

MM:  238.306

            HA + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + A⁻; pKₐ = 7.56

m/g:    6.00

1. Calculate the moles of HEPES

n = \text{6.00 g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{238.306 g}} = \text{0.025 18 mol}

2. Calculate the concentration ratio.

We can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{pH} &= &\text{pK}_{\text{a}} + \log\dfrac{[\text{A}^{-}]}{\text{[HA]}}\\\\7.36 & = & 7.56 + \log\dfrac{[\text{A}^{-}]}{\text{[HA]}}\\\\-0.20 & = & \log\dfrac{[\text{A}^{-}]}{\text{[HA]}}\\\\\dfrac{[\text{A}^{-}]}{\text{[HA]}} & = & 0.631\\\\\end{array}

The acid and its conjugate base are in the same solution, so the concentration ratio is the same as the mole ratio.

3. Calculate the moles of HA and A⁻

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{A}^{-} & = & \text{0.631 HA}\\\text{A$^{-}$ + HA} & = & 0.02518\\\text{0.631 HA + HA} & = & 0.02518\\\text{1.631 HA} & = & 0.02518\\\text{HA} & = & 0.015 44\\\end{array}

\text{A$^{-}$} = 0.009 742

4. Calculate the moles of KOH

We are preparing the buffer by adding KOH to convert HA to A⁻. The equation is

HA + OH⁻ ⟶ A⁻ + H₂O

The molar ratio is 1 mol A⁻:1 mol OH⁻, so we must use 0.009 742 mol of KOH.

5. Calculate the volume of KOH

V = \text{0.009 742 mol KOH} \times \dfrac{\text{1 L KOH}}{\text{0.330 mol KOH}} = \text{0.0293 L KOH} = \text{29.3 mL KOH}\\\\\text{We must add $\large \boxed{\textbf{ 29.3 mL}}$ of the KOH solution.}

Maksim231197 [3]
<h2>The required option d) "specific heat" is correct.</h2>

Explanation:

  • To raise the temperature of any substance or material of certain mass to respective temperature it requires some amount of heat.
  • Specific heat is the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of the substance of 1 gram to 1 Kelvin.
  • It is the amount of heat which is required to raise the temperature per unit mass to per unit temperature.
  • Thus, the required "option d) specific heat" is correct.

Given: 4Na + O2 → 2Na2O In this chemical reaction, how many moles of Na2O will be produced if 2.90 moles of Na react completely?
crimeas [40]

Since we already have the balanced equation, we know that the ratio between Na:Na_{2}O is 4:2 respectively.

So then we can set up a proportion to find the number of moles produced when 2.90 moles of Na react completely:

\frac{4mol_{Na}}{2mol_{Na_{2}O}} =\frac{2.90mol_{Na}}{xmol_{Na_{2}O}}

Then we cross multiply and solve for x:

4x=5.8

x=1.45

Therefore, we know that when 2.90 moles of Na react completely, there are 1.45 moles of Na_{2}O that are produced.

Maslowich

Answer:

2 AgNO3 + Na2SO4 → Ag2SO4 + 2 NaNO3

Explanation:

The general schemefor a reaction is given as;

Reactants --> Products

In this question, the reactants are AgNO3 and Na2SO4. The product is Ag2SO4.

The equation is given as;

AgNO3 + Na2SO4 --> Ag2SO4

The other poduct formed in this reaction is NaNO3.

The full reaction is given as;

AgNO3 + Na2SO4 --> Ag2SO4 + NaNO3

The above reaction is not balanced because there are unequal number of atoms of the elements on both sides of the reaction.

The balanced equation is given as;

2 AgNO3 + Na2SO4 → Ag2SO4 + 2 NaNO3

In this equation, there are equal number of moles of the atoms on both sides.
