From the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, explain how the ratio [Al/[HA] changes with changing pH

Chemistry
1 answer:
Kryger [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The ratio [A-]/[HA] increase when the pH increase and the ratio decrease when the pH decrease.

Explanation:

Every weak acid or base is at equilibrium with its conjugate base or acid respectively when it is dissolved in water.

HA + H_{2}O ⇄ A^{-} + H_{3}O^{+}

This equilibrium depends on the molecule and it acidic constant (Ka). The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,

pH = pKa + Log \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}

shows the dependency between the pH of the solution, the pKa and the concentration of the species. If the pH decreases the concentration of protons will increase and the ratio between A- and AH will decrease. Instead, if the pH increases the concentration of protons will decreases and the ratio between A- and AH will increase.

A 17.6-g sample of ammonium carbonate contains ________ mol of ammonium ions.
postnew [5]
These problems are a bit interesting. :)

First let's write the molecular formula for ammonium carbonate. 

NH4CO3 (Note! The 4 and 3 are subscripts, and not coefficients)

17.6 gNH4CO3

Now to convert to mol of one of our substances we take the percent composition of that particular part of the molecule and multiply it by our starting mass. This is what it looks like using dimensional analyse. 

17.6 gNH4CO3 * (Molar Mass of NH4 / Molar Mass of NH4CO3)

Grab a periodic table (or look one up) and find the molar masses for these molecules! Well. In this case I'll do it for you. (Note: I round the molar masses off to two decimal places)

NH4 = 14.01 + 4*1.01 = 18.05 g/mol
NH4CO3 = 14.01 + 4*1.01 + 12.01 + 3*16.00 = 78.06 g/mol


17.6 gNH4CO3 * (18.05 molNH4 / 78.06 molNH4CO3)
= 4.07 gNH4

Now just take the molar mass we found to convert that amount into moles!

4.07 gNH4 * (1 molNH4 / 18.05 gNH4) = 0.225 molNH4

Calculate the amount of heat needed to boil of benzene (), beginning from a temperature of . Be sure your answer has a unit symb
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Check explanation

Explanation:

From the question, the parameters given are 64.7g of benzene,C6H6; a starting temperature of 41.9°C and bringing it to 33.2°C.

Molar mass of benzene,C6H6= 78.11236 g/mol.

Things to know: heat capacity of benzene, C6H6= 1.63 J/g.K, the heat of fusion = 9.87 kj/mol.

STEP ONE(1): ENERGY USED IN MELTING BENZENE SOLID.

Using the formula below;

Energy used in melting the solid(in JOULES) = (mass of benzene/molar mass of benzene) × heat of Fusion.

=(64.7 g of C6H6/ 78.11236(g per mol) of C6H6) × 9.87 kJ per mol.

= 8.175 J.

= 0.008175 kJ.

STEP TWO (2): ENERGY OF HEATING THE LIQUID.

It can be calculated from the formula below;

Energy= heat capacity (J/g.K) × mass of benzene× (∆T).

= 1.63 J/g.K × 64.7 × (41.9-33.2).

= 917.5J.

= 0.9175 kJ.

Energy required to boil benzene= Energy required to melt the bezene + energy required for boiling.

= 0.008175+ 0.9175.

= 0.93kJ

Approximately, 1 kJ
