Calculate the pH of the following simple solutions:

Chemistry
1 answer:
IceJOKER [234]3 years ago
5 0

Answer :

(1) pH = 1.27

(2) pH = 13.35

(3) The given solution is not a buffer.

Explanation :

<u>(1) 53.1 mM HCl</u>

Concentration of HCl = 53.1mM=53.1\times 10^{-3}M

As HCl is a strong acid. So, it dissociates completely to give hydrogen ion and chloride ion.

So, Concentration of hydrogen ion= 53.1\times 10^{-3}M

pH : It is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

pH=-\log [H^+]

pH=-\log (53.1\times 10^{-3})

pH=1.27

<u>(2) 0.223 M KOH</u>

Concentration of KOH = 0.223 M

As KOH is a strong base. So, it dissociates completely to give hydroxide ion and potassium ion.

So, Concentration of hydroxide ion= 0.223 M

Now we have to calculate the pOH.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

pOH=-\log (0.223)

pOH=0.65

Now we have to calculate the pH.

pH+pOH=14\\\\pH=14-pOH\\\\pH=14-0.65=13.35

<u>(3) 53.1 mM HCl + 0.223 M KOH</u>

Buffer : It is defined as a solution that maintain the pH of the solution by adding the small amount of acid or a base.

It is not a buffer because HCl is a strong acid and KOH is a strong base. Both dissociates completely.

As we know that the pH of strong acid and strong base solution is always 7.

So, the given solution is not a buffer.

Carbon dioxide and helium which has a higher van der waals force of attraction between molecules ​
raketka [301]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide  

Explanation:

Neither helium nor carbon dioxide has a molecular dipole, so their strongest van der Waals attractive forces are London forces.

Helium is a small spherical atom with only a two electrons, so its atoms have quite weak attractions to each other.

CO₂ is a large linear molecule. It has more electrons than helium, so the attractive forces are greater. Furthermore, the molecules can align themselves compactly side-by-side and maximize the attractions (see below).

For example. CO₂ becomes a solid at -78 °C, but helium must be cooled to -272 °C to make it freeze (that's just 1 °C above absolute zero).

A gas balloon has a volume of 106.0 liters when the temperature is 25.0 °C and the pressure is 740.0 mm Hg. What will its volume
ipn [44]

Answer : The final volume of gas will be, 103.3 L

Explanation :

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 740.0 mmHg  = 98.4 kPa

Conversion used : (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa)

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 99.3 kPa

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 106.0 L

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 25.0^oC=273+25.0=298K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 20.0^oC=273+20.0=293K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{98.4kPa\times 106.0L}{298K}=\frac{99.3kPa\times V_2}{293K}

V_2=103.3L

Therefore, the final volume of gas will be, 103.3 L
