On your first day working in a laboratory, you are told to make up 1 Liter of a 0.5 Molar Tris solution with a pH of 7.4. You me

asure out the appropriate amount of Tris base and dissolve it in water. You then measure the pH and find out that it has an initial pH of 11. You add some concentrated HCl, and the pH begins to drop. However, as you approach the target pH, you find that you need to add large amounts of HCl to lower the pH even a small amount. If the molecular weight of Tris base is 121.14, how many grams did you use

Answer:

60.57g of TRIS did you use

Explanation:

The concentration of the Tris solution buffer is 0.5 molar (That is, 0.5 moles per liter). As you need to make 1L, you need to have in the solution <em>0.5 moles of TRIS.</em>

<em />

To convert these moles of TRIS to grams you need to use the molecular weight of TRIS base (121.14g/mol), thus:

0.5 moles TRIS * (121.14g / mol) =

<h3>60.57g of TRIS did you use</h3>

What are the molality and mole fraction of solute in a 22.3 percent by mass aqueous solution of formic acid (HCOOH)?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Mole fraction for solute = 0.1, or 10%

Molality = 6.24 mol/kg

Explanation:

22.3% by mass → In 100 g of solution, we have  22.3 g of HCOOH

Mass of solution = 100 g

Mass of solute = 22.3 g

Mass of solvent = 100 g - 22.3g = 77.7 g

Let's convert the mass to moles

22.3 g . 1mol/ 46 g = 0.485 moles

77.7 g. 1mol / 18 g = 4.32 moles

Total moles = 4.32 moles + 0.485 moles = 4.805 moles

Xm for solute = 0.485 / 4.805 = 0.100 → 10%

Molality → mol/ kg → we convert the mass of solvent to kg

77.7 g.  1 kg / 1000g = 0.0777 kg

0.485 mol / 0.0777 kg = 6.24 m

Consider the process in which HClO3 is converted to HClO2. The oxidation state of oxygen remains −2, and the oxidation state of
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Option 1, Cl is reduced and gains electrons

Explanation:

HClO₃  → HClO₂

In HClO₃, chlorine acts with +5 in the oxidation state

In HClO₂,, chlorine acts with +3 in the oxidation state.

The state has been reducted, so the Cl has been reduced. As it was reduced, it means that has won e⁻, in this case 2

Cl⁻⁵  → Cl⁻³  +  2e⁻

Which element, when combined with Iodine, would most likely form an ionic compound?
uranmaximum [27]

In an ionic compound the atoms are linked via ionic bonds. These are formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to the other. The atom that loses electrons gains a positive charge whereas the atom that accepts electrons gains a negative. This happens in accordance with the octet rule wherein each atom is surrounded by 8 electrons

In the given example:

The valence electron configuration of Iodine (I) = 5s²5p⁵

It needs only one electron to complete its octet.

In the given options:

K = 4s¹

C = 2s²2p²

Cl = 3s²3p⁵

P = 3s²3p³

Thus K can donate its valence electron to Iodine. As a result K, will gain a stable noble gas configuration of argon while iodine would gain an octet. This would also balance the charges as K⁺I⁻ creating a neutral molecule.

Ans: Potassium (K)
