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

Consider the reaction. 2 Pb ( s ) + O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 2 PbO ( s ) An excess of oxygen reacts with 451.4 g of lead, forming 367.5 g of
Art [367]

Answer : The percent yield of the reaction is, 75.6 %

Solution : Given,

Mass of Pb = 451.4 g

Molar mass of Pb = 207 g/mole

Molar mass of PbO = 223 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of Pb.

\text{ Moles of }Pb=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Pb}{\text{ Molar mass of }Pb}=\frac{451.4g}{207g/mole}=2.18moles

Now we have to calculate the moles of PbO

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2Pb(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2PbO(s)

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 mole of Pb react to give 2 mole of PbO

So, 2.18 mole of Pb react to give 2.18 mole of PbO

Now we have to calculate the mass of PbO

\text{ Mass of }PbO=\text{ Moles of }PbO\times \text{ Molar mass of }PbO

\text{ Mass of }PbO=(2.18moles)\times (223g/mole)=486.1g

Theoretical yield of PbO = 486.1 g

Experimental yield of PbO = 367.5 g

Now we have to calculate the percent yield of the reaction.

\% \text{ yield of the reaction}=\frac{\text{ Experimental yield of }PbO}{\text{ Theoretical yield of }PbO}\times 100

\% \text{ yield of the reaction}=\frac{367.5g}{486.1g}\times 100=75.6\%

Therefore, the percent yield of the reaction is, 75.6 %
