Answer:

Explanation:

(a)

Before the addition of KOH :-

Given pKa1 of H3PO3 = 1.30

we know , pKa1 = - log10Ka1

Ka1 = 10-pKa1

Ka1 = 10-1.30

Ka1 = 0.0501

similarly pKa2 = 6.70 ,therefore Ka2 = 1.99 x 10-7

because Ka1 >> Ka2 , therefore pH of diprotic acid i.e H3PO3 can be calculated from first dissociation only .

ICE table is :-

H3PO3 (aq) <-------------> H+ (aq) + H2PO3-(aq)

I 2.4 M 0 M 0 M

C - x + x + x

E (2.4 - x )M x M x M

x = degree of dissociation

Now expression of Ka1 is :

Ka1 = [ H+ ] [ H2PO3-] / [ H3PO3]

0.0501 = x2 / 2.4 - x

on solving for x by using quadratic formula , we have

x = 0.32

Now [ H+ ] = [ H2PO3-] = 0.32 M

pH = - log [H+]

pH = - log 0.32

pH = - ( - 0.495)

pH = 0.495

Hence pH before the addition of KOH = 0.495

(b)

After the addition of 25.0 mL of 2.4 M KOH :-

Number of moles of KOH = 2.4 M x 0.025 L = 0.06 mol

Number of moles of H3PO3 = 2.4 M x 0.050 L = 0.12 mol

Now 0.06 moles of KOH is equal to the half of the moles required for the first equivalent point . therefore pH at this point is equal to pKa1 .

Hence pH = 1.30 M

(c)

After the addition of 50.0 mL of 2.4 M KOH :-

Number of moles of KOH = 2.4 M x 0.050 L = 0.12 mol

Number of moles of H3PO3 = 2.4 M x 0.050 L = 0.12 mol

because Number of moles of H3PO4 = Number of moles of KOH

therefore , this point is the first equivalence point

and pH = pKa1 + pKa2 / 2

pH = 1.30 + 6.70 / 2

pH = 4.00

Hence pH = 4.00

(d)

After the addition of 75.0 mL of 2.4 M KOH :-

Number of moles of KOH = 2.4 M x 0.075 L = 0.18 mol

Number of moles of H3PO3 = 2.4 M x 0.050 L = 0.12 mol

This is the half way of the second equivalence point , therefore pH is equal to pKa2 .

Hence pH = 6.70

A 3.42 gram sample of an unknown gas is found to occupy a volume of 1.90 L at a pressure of 547 mm Hg and a temperature of 33 °C
liq [111]
Use the Ideal Gas Law to find the moles of gas first.

Be sure to convert T from Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.

Also I prefer to deal with pressure in atm rather than mmHg, so divide the pressure by 760 to get it in atm.

PV = nRT —> n = PV/RT
P = 547 mmHg = 547/760 atm = 0.720 atm
V = 1.90 L
T = 33°C = 33 + 273 K = 306 K
R = 0.08206 L atm / mol K

n = (0.720 atm)(1.90 L) / (0.08206 L atm / mol K)(306 K) = 0.0545 mol of gas

Now divide grams by mol to get the molecular weight.

3.42 g / 0.0545 mol = 62.8 g/mol

What is the simplest formula of a compound if a sample of the compound contains 0.221 mol X, 0.442 mol Y, and 0.884 mol Z? chemP
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

XY₂Z₄

2.35 mol Z

Explanation:

A sample of the compound contains 0.221 mol X, 0.442 mol Y, and 0.884 mol Z. We can find the simplest formula (empirical formula) by <em>dividing all the numbers of moles by the smallest one</em>.

X: 0.221/0.221 = 1

Y: 0.442/0.221 = 2

Z: 0.884/0.221 = 4

The simplest formula is XY₂Z₄.

The molar ratio of X to Z is 1:4. The moles of Z in a sample that contained 0.588 moles of X is:

0.588 mol X × (4 mol Z/1 mol X) = 2.35 mol Z
