A 0.25-mol sample of a weak acid with an unknown Pka was combined with 10.0-mL of 3.00 M KOH, and the resulting solution was dil

uted to 1.500 L. The measured pH of the solution was 3.85. What is the pKa of the weak acid?

Answer : The value of pK_a of the weak acid is, 4.72

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of KOH.

\text{Moles of }KOH=\text{Concentration of }KOH\times \text{Volume of solution}

\text{Moles of }KOH=3.00M\times 10.0mL=30mmol=0.03mol

Now we have to calculate the value of pK_a of the weak acid.

The equilibrium chemical reaction is:

                          HA+KOH\rightleftharpoons HK+H_2O

Initial moles     0.25     0.03        0

At eqm.    (0.25-0.03)   0.03      0.03

                     = 0.22

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

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

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[HK]}{[HA]}

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

3.85=pK_a+\log (\frac{0.03}{0.22})

pK_a=4.72

Therefore, the value of pK_a of the weak acid is, 4.72

Na2S2O3 + AgBr NaBr + Na3ſAg(S203)2] What is
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Mass of NaBr produced  = 23.67 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of AgBr = 42.7 g

Mass of NaBr produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Na₂S₂O₃ + AgBr    →    NaBr + Na₃(Ag(S₂O₃)₂

Number of moles of AgBr:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 42.7 g/ 187.7 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.23 mol

now we will compare the moles of AgBr with NaBr.

             AgBr        :         NaBr

                1            :           1

              0.23       :         0.23

Mass of NaBr:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.23 mol × 102.89 g/mol

Mass = 23.67 g

How many grams are in 0.220 mol of Ne?
kumpel [21]

Answer:

4.44 g Ne

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

0.220 mol Ne

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Molar Mass of Ne - 20.18 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

<u />0.220 \ mol \ Ne(\frac{20.18 \ g \ Ne}{1 \ mol \ Ne} ) = 4.4396 g Ne

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.</em>

4.4396 g Ne ≈ 4.44 g Ne
