Benzoic acid is a weak monoprotic acid. It has a pKa of 4.20. A student transferred 25.00mL of 0.126M benzoic acid into a beaker

. The student then added 20.00mL of distilled water into the beaker. Calculate the equilibrium pH for this benzoic acid solution.

Answer:

pH of the benzoic acid solution = 3.35

Explanation:

Benzoic acid is a weak monoprotic acid

  pKa = 4.2

⇒ Ka = 6.3 x 10⁻⁵

                                  C₆H₅COOH ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻ + H⁺

Initial concentration      C molar             0                0

At equilibrium               (c - cα)               cα               cα

                      Acid dissociation constant Ka = \frac{c\alpha X c\alpha  }{c - c\alpha }

                                              ⇒          6.3 x 10⁻⁵ = α²c ................(1)

(for weak electrolyte 1 -α = 1)

Concentration of benzoic acid C = 25 x 0.126 x 10⁻³ = 0.00315 molar

                  From eqn (1)

                          α² = \frac{6.3 X 10^{-5} }{0.00315}

                    ⇒  α = √(\frac{6.3 X 10^{-5} }{0.00315} )

                    ⇒  α = 0.14

So concentration of H⁺ ion = 0.14 x 0.00315 = 0.000441

pH = - log 0.000441 = 3.35    

We not considered H⁺ concentration of water because pH  < 7

Calculate the mass of chromium metal produced when 425.0mL of 0.25M chromium(ll) nitrate reacts with a strip of zinc that remain
Reil [10]

The balanced chemical equation for the production of chromium metal from the reaction of chromium(ll) nitrate reacts with a strip of zinc is:

3 Zn + 2 Cr(NO₃)₃ → 2 Cr + 3 Zn(NO₃)₂

This is a redox reaction, which <u>is a chemical reaction in which one or more electrons are transferred between the reagents</u>, causing a change in their oxidation states. In the proposed reaction, Cr oxidation state goes from +3 to 0, becoming metallic chromium, while Zn goes from being Zn⁰ to Zn²⁺.

<u>The mass of chromium metal produced in the above reaction will be,</u>

425.0 mL x \frac{1 L}{1000 mL} x  \frac{0.25 mol Cr(NO_{3})_{3}  }{1 L} x \frac{2 mol Cr  }{2 mol Cr(NO_{3})_{3} } x \frac{51.9961 g Cr}{1 mol Cr} = 5.52 g

So, the mass of chromium metal produced when 425.0mL of 0.25M chromium(ll) nitrate reacts with a strip of zinc that remains in excess is 5.52 g of Cr.

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Organic

Plate making

Ink mists

Gas, fumes and dust

Explanation:

the four categories commonly used to classify chemicals and chemical agents in the graphic communications industry are Organic ,Plate making ,Ink mists, Gas, fumes and dust.

Organic refer to those chemicals gotten from living matter and are natural.

Plate making refers to how plates are make and it carry image in the printing process.

Ink mist gotten from ink is use in graphic designs for painting and color indication.
