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!

You perform a distillation to separate a mixture of propylbenzene and cyclohexane, and you obtain 2.9949 grams of cyclohexane (d
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

66.67%

Explanation:

From the given information:

mass of cyclohexane = 2.9949 grams

density of cyclohexane = 0.779 g/mL

Recall that:

Density = mass/volume

∴

Volume = mass/density

So, the volume of cyclohexane = 2.9949 g/ 0.779 g/mL

= 3.8445 mL

Also,

mass of propylbenzene = 1.6575 grams

density of propylbenzene = 0.862 g/mL

Volume of propylbenzene =  1.6575 g/ 0.862 g/mL

= 1.9229 mL

The volume % composition of cyclohexane from the mixture is:

= (\dfrac{v_{cyclohexane}}{v_{cyclohexane}+v_{propylbenzene}})\times 100

= (\dfrac{3.8445}{3.8445+1.9229})\times 100

= (\dfrac{3.8445}{5.7674})\times 100

= 66.67%

Which activity might help to increase the validity of this experiment?
MArishka [77]
A should be the answer because the more you test an experiment the more data you have to rely on changing the experiment would cause you to have different outcomes making the results different and unreliable so B, C, and D is not going to be the answer Hope this helps
