Suppose that you have 125 mL of a buffer that is 0.140 M in both hydrofluoric acid ( HF ) and its conjugate base ( F − ) . Calcu

late the maximum volume of 0.370 M HCl that can be added to the buffer before its buffering capacity is lost.

Answer:

38,7mL of HCl 0,370M

Explanation:

The buffering capacity is lost when the pH of the solution is out of pka ± 1.

For the buffer:

HF ⇄ H⁺ + F⁻; pka = 3,20

Moles of both HF and F⁻ are:

HF: 0,140M ₓ 0,125L = 0,0175 moles of HF

Moles of F⁻ are the same.

Using Henderson-Hasselbalch formula:

pH = pka + log₁₀ F⁻ / HF

pH = 3,20 + log F⁻ / HF <em>(1)</em>

The addition of X moles of HCl (H⁺) shift the equilibrium to the left, thus:

         HF             ⇄   H⁺  +     F⁻

0,0175 moles + X             0,0175 moles - X          

The buffer lost its capacity when pH = 3,20 - 1 = 2,20. Thus, replacing in (1):

2,20 = 3,20 + log ₁₀0,0175 - X / 0,0175 + X

0,1 = 0,0175 - X / 0,0175 + X

0,00175 + 0,1X = 0,0175 - X

-0,01575 = -1,1X

<em>0,0143 moles = X</em>

You need to add 0,0143 moles of HCl. In volume for a concentration of 0,370M HCl:

0,0143 moles ÷ 0,370M = 0,0387L of HCl 0,370M ≡ <em>38,7mL of HCl 0,370M</em>

I hope it helps!

El fluoruro de hidrógeno HF que se utiliza en
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

25.6g de HF son producidos

Explanation:

<em>...¿Cuánto HF es producido?</em>

Para resolver este problema debemos convertir la masa de cada reactivo a moles usando su masa molar. Como la reacción es 1:1, el reactivo con menor número de moles es el reactivo limitante. Con las moles del reactivo limitante podemos obtener las moles de HF y su masa así:

<em>Moles CaF2:</em>

Masa molar:

1Ca = 40g/mol

2F = 19*2 = 38g/mol

40+38 = 78g/mol

50g CaF2 * (1mol/78g) = 0.641 moles CaF2

<em>Moles H2SO4:</em>

Masa molar:

2H = 2g/mol

1S = 32g/mol

4O = 64g/mol

98g/mol

100g H2SO4 * (1mol / 98g) = 1.02 moles H2SO4

Como las moles de CaF2 < Moles H2SO4: CaF2 es reactivo limitante.

<em>Moles HF usando la reacción:</em>

0.641 moles CaF2 * (2mol HF / 1mol CaF2) = 1.282 moles HF

<em>Masa HF:</em>

Masa molar:

1g/mol + 19g/mol = 20g/mol

1.282 moles HF * (20g/mol) =

<h3>25.6g de HF son producidos</h3>

Write the electron configurations of cu2+ and ag+. is each electron configuration consistent with the color you observed for eac
djverab [1.8K]
(1) Copper:
Copper has the atomic number : 29
Cu2+ means that it lost 2 electrons, therefore, the total number of electrons is 29-2 = 27 electrons.
The electronic configuration is:
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d9

(2) Silver:
Silver has atomic number : 47
Ag  + means that it lost one electron, therefore, the total number of electrons  is 47-1 = 46 electrons
The electronic configuration is:

Root nodules are associations between bacteria and plant roots responsible for
max2010maxim [7]

Answer: Root nodules are associations between bacteria and plant roots responsible for nitrogen fixation.

Explanation:

  • As nitrogen present in atmosphere cannot be used by plants directly.
  • Nitrogen present in atmosphere is converted into nitrogen compounds by bacteria which is present in root nodules of a plant.
  • These compounds of nitrogen are then used by plants for various functions.
