Answer : The pH of the resulting buffer is, 5.22

Explanation : Given,

K_a=1.28\times 10^{-5}

First we have to calculate the moles of NaOH\text{ and }HA

\text{Moles of }NaOH=\text{Concentration of }NaOH\times \text{Volume of solution}}=0.160M\times 0.500L=0.08mol

and,

\text{Moles of }HA=\text{Concentration of }HA\times \text{Volume of solution}}=0.200M\times 0.585L=0.117mol

The balanced chemical reaction is:

HA+(aq)+OH^-(aq)\rightarrow H_2O(l)+A^-(aq)

Moles of HA left = 0.117 mol - 0.08 mol = 0.037 mol

Moles of A^- = 0.08 mol

The expression used for the calculation of pK_a is,

pK_a=-\log (K_a)

Now put the value of K_a in this expression, we get:

pK_a=-\log (1.28\times 10^{-5})

pK_a=5-\log (1.28)

pK_a=4.89

Now we have to calculate the pH of buffer.

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

pH=4.89+\log (\frac{0.08}{0.037})

pH=5.22

Thus, the pH of the resulting buffer is, 5.22

Compare the amount of heat required to vaporize a 200.-gram sample of H2O(ℓ) at its boiling point to the amount of heat required
stira [4]
The enthalpy of vaporization of H2O is higher than the enthalpy of fusion of H2O, therefore vaporizing the same mass of H2O would require more heat/energy than melting the same mass of H2O.

What do atoms form when they bond chemically?
V125BC [204]
They form molecules which can be in solution form if diluted in water, but some do form solutions on exposure to the atmosphere i.e they are deliquescent like pellets of sodium hydroxide

What is the enthalpy of fusion of water?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

d-  334 kJ/g.

Explanation:

You can detect it from the units of the different choices.

a- has the unit J/g.°C that is the unit of the specific heat capacity (c).

b- has the unit Kelvin that is the unit of temperature.

c- has the unit g/mol which is the unit of the molar mass.

d- has the unit kJ/g which is the unit of the enthalpy divided by the no. of rams that is the specific entha;py of fusion.

<em>So, the right choice is: d-  334 kJ/g.</em>
