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!

What is the net charge of the peptide arg-ala-phe-leu at ph 8?
adell [148]
The structure of this oligopeptide is attached:

It consists of arginine - alanine - phenylalanine and leucine

From the picture we can see that N terminus charge is +1
Also Arginine is considered as basic amino acid with charge +1
C terminus charge is -1

At pH = 8, the whose pKa are less than pH will be deprotonated and the net charge will be +1 

So the net charge of this oligopeptide is +1 at pH = 8

How can you tell whether a fat contains primarily saturated or unsaturated fatty acids?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
In terms of physically observing it, if the substance is a lions based substance, like oil or margarine, depending on the state, this will inform how well the hydrocarbons can pack together well or not, or will there be bends in the ring preventing the molecules from packing well.

Liquids are unsaturated
Solids are saturated.

How many valance electrons does group #11 have?
galina1969 [7]

It would have 11 valance electrons.

Example/Explanation:

Say we are talking about groups 10. Group 10 would have 10 valance electrons because of the atom's electronic arrangement in the periodic table.

Mg(s) + ½O2(g) → MgO(s) + 146 kcal/mole H2(g) + ½O2(g) → H2O(g), ΔH = -57.82 kcal/mole What type of reaction is represented by t
professor190 [17]
Answer is: both reactions are exothermic.
<span>
In exothermic reactions, heat is released and enthalpy of reaction is less than zero (as it show second chemical reaction).
According to Le Chatelier's principle when the reaction is exothermic heat is included as a product (as it show first chemical reaction).</span>
