Generally, when an acid and a base are added together in solution, a salt and water will form. This is known as an acid-base reaction. Therefore, the scientist may infer that she is working with an acid. (Acid + Base = H2O + Salt).

Answer:

\large \boxed{5.15}

Explanation:

HA + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + A⁻

1. Calculate pKₐ

\text{p}K_{\text{a}} = -\log \left (K_{\text{a}} \right ) =-\log(1.3 \times 10^{-5}) = 4.89

2. Calculate the pH

We can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to get the pH.

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{pH} & = & \text{pK}_{\text{a}} + \log \left(\dfrac{[\text{A}^{-}]}{\text{[HA]}}\right )\\\\& = & 4.89 +\log \left(\dfrac{0.42}{0.23}\right )\\\\& = & 4.89 + \log1.83 \\& = & 4.89 +0.261\\& = & 5.15\\\end{array}\\\text{The pH of the buffer is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{5.15}}$}

If 3.00 g of titanium metal is reacted with 6.00 g of chlorine gas, Cl2, to form 7.7 g of titanium (IV) chloride in a combinatio
Crank

Ti + 2 Cl2 → TiCl4  

(3.00 g Ti) / (47.867 g Ti/mol) = 0.062674 mol Ti  

(6.00 g Cl2) / (70.9064 g Cl2/mol) = 0.084619 mol Cl2  

0.084619 mole of Cl2 would react completely with 0.084619 x (1/2) = 0.0423095 mole of Ti, but there is more Ti present than that, so Ti is in excess and Cl2 is the limiting reactant.  

(0.084619 mol Cl2) x (1 mol TiCl4 / 2 mol Cl2) x (189.679 g TiCl4/mol) = 8.025 g TiCl4 in theory  

(7.7 g) / (8.025 g) = 0.96 = 96% yield TiCl4
