What is the ph of a 0.500 m solution of benzoic acid, pka = 4.19?

Chemistry

Solution:

 Benzoic acid is C6H5COOH  

In finding pH

C6H5COOH(aq) <=> C6H5COO^- + H^+ pKa = 4.19, pKa = -logKa so Ka = 10^(-4.19)  

Ka = 6.45 x 10^-6  

[C6H5COO^-] = x = [H^+]; [C6H5COOH] = 0.5 - x (we are able to make an estimate of [C6H5COOH] = 0.5.

Ka = [H^+][C6H5COO^-]/[C6H5COOH] = x^2/(0.5 - x) = 6.45 x 10^-6  

Now,

According to the quadratic equation. x^2 = 3.23 x 10^-5 - 6.45 x 10^-6x  

x^2 + (6.45 x 10^-6)x - 3.23 x 10^-5 = 0  

enter a = 1, b = 0.00000645, c = 0.0000323  

x = 5.68 x 10^-3 = 0.00568 M  expression is [C6H5COOH] = 0.5 M is the correct answer.  

[H^+] = 0.00568 M, so pH = -log(0.00568 M ) = 2.25  

This is the required solution.

When 28 g of nitrogen and 6 g of hydrogen react, 34 g of ammonia are produced. If 100 g of nitrogen react with 6 g of hydrogen,
love history [14]

Answer:

34 g

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced equation.

N₂ + 3 H₂ → 2 NH₃

The theoretical mass ratio of N₂ to H₂ is 28g N₂ : 6g H₂ = 4.6g N₂ : 1g H₂.

The experimental mass ratio of N₂ to H₂ is 100g N₂ : 6g H₂ = 16.6g N₂ : 1g H₂.

As we can see, hydrogen is the limiting reactant.

According to the task, we 6 g of H₂ react completely, 34 g of ammonia are produced.

Calculate the moles of oxygen gas which will react with 89.4 grams of iron.
Snowcat [4.5K]
<span>No of moles of Fe = Mass / Relative molar mass of Fe. So no of moles = 89.4/ 55.845 = 1.60. The. Chemical reaction is represented as follows. 4 Fe + 3 O2 which gives 2Fe2 O3 . This means that 4 atoms of Iron reacts with 3 atoms of Oxygen to produce Iron oxide. Hence 1.60*4 moles of Fe will need to react 1.6 * 3 moles of Oxygen to produce 2 moles of Iron oxide. Hence 4.8 moles of Oxygen will be required.</span>

vanadium has an atomic mass of 50.9415 amu. it has two common isotopes.one isotopes has a mass of 50.9440 amu and a relative abu
Kaylis [27]

Explanation:

Average atomic mass of the  vanadium = 50.9415 amu

Isotope (I) of vanadium' s abundance = 99.75 %= 0.9975

Atomic mass of Isotope (I) of vanadium ,m= 50.9440 amu

Isotope (II) of vanadium' s abundance =(100%- 99.75 %) = 0.25 % = 0.0025

Atomic mass of Isotope (II) of vanadium ,m' = ?

Average atomic mass of vanadium =

m × abundance of isotope(I) + m' × abundance of isotope (II)

50.9415 amu =50.9440 amu× 0.9975 + m' × 0.0025

m'= 49.944 amu

The atomic mass of isotope (II) of vanadium is 49.944 amu.
