Answer:

C

Explanation:

The question asks to calculate the pH at equivalence point of the titration between ammonia and hydrochloric acid

Firstly, we write the equation of reaction between ammonia and hydrochloric acid.

NH3(aq)+HCl(aq)→NH4Cl(aq)

Ionically:

HCl + NH3 ---> NH4  +  Cl-

Firstly, we calculate the number of moles of  the ammonia  as follows:

from c = n/v and thus, n = cv = 0.36 × 1 = 0.36 moles

At the equivalence point, there is equal number of moles of ammonia and HCl.

Hence, volume of HCl = number of moles/molarity of HCl = 0.36/0.74 = 0.486L

Hence, the total volume of solution will be 1 + 0.486 = 1.486L

Now, we calculate the concentration of the ammonium ions = 0.36/1.486 = 0.242M

An ICE TABLE IS USED TO FIND THE CONCENTRATION OF THE HYDROXONIUM ION(H3O+). ICE STANDS FOR INITIAL, CHANGE AND EQUILIBRIUM.

                 NH4+      H2O     ⇄  NH3        H3O+

I                0.242                           0             0

C                 -X                              +x              +X

E             0.242-X                          X              X

Since the question provides us with the base dissociation constant value K b, we can calculate the acid dissociation constant value Ka

To find this, we use the mathematical equation below

K a ⋅ K b    = K w

 

, where  K w- the self-ionization constant of water, equal to  

10 ^-14  at room temperature

This means that you have

K a = K w.K b   = 10 ^− 14 /1.8 * 10^-5 =  5.56 * 10^-10

Ka = [NH3][H3O+]/[NH4+]

= x * x/(0.242-x)

Since the value of Ka is small, we can say that 0.242-x ≈  0.242

Hence, K a = x^2/0.242 = 5.56 * 10^-10

x^2 = 0.242 * 5.56 * 10^-10 = 1.35 * 10^-10

x = 0.00001161895

[H3O+] = 0.00001161895

pH = -log[H3O+]

pH = -log[0.00001161895 ] = 4.94

Write the value represented by 4.5x10-6 g
monitta

the value represented by 4.5x10-6 g is 0.0000045 g it is a representation  in standard notation

To express enormous figures which are in standard notation like 1,300,000 or exceedingly minuscule quantities like 0.0000000000045, scientists use scientific notation. Scientific notation, also referred to as exponential form, is one of the earliest mathematical techniques. It is well regarded by practitioners. People use scientific notation to handle situations where numbers are too large or too small to be calculated easily. Scientists, engineers, and mathematicians all use this technique. where as standard notation is way writing numbers in normal decimal form. The scientific method id most convenient denoting numbers as the numbers will be either too big or too small.

In the disproportionation reaction CI2 + H2Omc021-1.jpgHCIO + HCI, what describes the oxidation states of the substance Cl?
Sophie [7]
<span>Reaction: CI2 + H2O    ---->  HCIO + HCI

Oxidations states:

The oxitation state of Cl2 = 0, because the oxidation state of an atom alone or a molucule with one kind of atom is always 0.

The oxidation state of Cl in HClO is +1 because the oxidation state of H is + 1, the oxidation state of O is - 2, and the molecule is neutral, so  +1 + 1 - 2 = 0

The oxidation state of Cl in HCl is - 1, because the oxidation state of H is +1 and the molecule is neutral, so - 1 + 1 = 0.

Also, you shall remember that when an atom increases its oxidation state is is oxidized and when an atoms reduces its oxidations state it is reduced.

With that you conclude that the right option is the last statement: </span>Cl has an oxidation number of 0 in Cl2. It is then reduced to CI- with an oxidation number of –1 in HCl and is oxidized to Cl+ with an oxidation number +1 in HClO.

Estimate the molar mass of a gas that effuses at 1.6 times the effusion rate of CO2
Vlada [557]
To estimate the molar mass of the gas, we use Graham's law of effusion. This relates the rates of effusion of gases with their molar mass. We calculate as follows:

r1/r2 = √(m2/m1)    

where r1 would be the effusion rate of the gas and r2 is for CO2, M1 is the molar mass of the gas and M2 would be the molar mass of CO2 (44.01 g/mol) 

r1 = 1.6r2

1.6 = √(44.01 / m1)
m1 = 17.19 g/mol
