When we know the Pka value = 4.19 

so, we are going to use H-H equation:

PH = Pka + ㏒[benzoate/benzoic acid]

when we have PH = 4.25 

and Pka = 4.19 

so by substitution:

4.25 = 4.19 + ㏒[benzaoate/ benzoic acid]

∴ [benzaoate/benzoic acid] = 1.148 M

when the [benzoic acid ] = 0.15 m 

∴ [benzaoate] = 1.148M * 0.15m 

                        = 0.1722 M

∴ moles of sodium benzoate = molarity * volume L

                                                 = 0.1722 M * 0.15 L 

                                                 = 0.02583 moles

∴ the mass = moles * molar mass

                   = 0.02583 moles* 144 g/mol

                   = 3.72 g

What is the limiting reagent when 49.84 g of nitrogen react with 10.7 g of hydrogen to make ammonia
IgorLugansk [536]
If we were to make room for errors, there should really be no limiting reagent because practically all of both Nitrogen and Hydrogen is used up during this reaction. If this values were actually exact, then Nitrogen would be the limiting reagent, but a very very little amount of Nitogen is needed for all the Hydrogen to react.

We solve this problem by first writing the equation
N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3
N2 = 14g*2 = 28g, 3H2 = 3(1*2) = 6g
so 28g of Nitrogen needs 6g of Hydrogen for this reaction. Thus if we had 10.67g of Hydrogen in the reaction, 6g*49.84g/28g of hydrogen is needed to react = 10.68g of Hydrogen, but since we have 10.7g of it thus it is excess and thus the limiting reagent has to be Nitrogen, but notice that 10.68g and 10.7g are practically the same, so there might actually not be a limiting reagent. Using the other value(10.7), the amount of Nitrogen required would be 10.7g*28g/6g = 49.93, and since this is slightly more than the 49.84g we have, this confirms that Nitrogen is the limiting reagent. But note still that since this values are really close, there is a possibility that there is neither a limiting nor an excess reagent

Explain the bonding that occurs between sodium and chlorine. Specifically, what kind of bonding takes
babymother [125]

Answer:

Ionic bonds form when atoms transfer electrons between each other, forming ions that are electrically attracted to each other forming a bond between them. Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a typical ionic compound. The picture below shows both a sodium and a chlorine ion.

Explanation:

ionic bond

Because of the propensity of sodium to lose an electron and of chlorine to gain an electron, the elements are well suited to bond with one another. This transfer of electrons results in the formation of the ionic bond holding Na+ and Cl– together.

Which of these half-reactions represents reduction?
gogolik [260]

Answer: The half-reactions represents reduction are as follows.

  • Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} \rightarrow Cr^{3+}
  • MnO^{-}_{4} \rightarrow Mn^{2+}

Explanation:

A half-reaction where addition of electrons take place or a reaction where decrease in oxidation state of an element  takes place is called reduction-half reaction.

For example, the oxidation state of Cr in Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} is +6 which is getting converted into +3, that is, decrease in oxidation state is taking place as follows.

Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + 3 e^{-} \rightarrow Cr^{3+}

Similarly, oxidation state of Mn in MnO^{-}_{4} is +7 which is getting converted into +2, that is, decrease in oxidation state is taking place as follows.

MnO^{2-}_{4} + 5 e^{-} \rightarrow Mn^{2+}

Thus, we can conclude that half-reactions represents reduction are as follows.

  • Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} \rightarrow Cr^{3+}
  • MnO^{-}_{4} \rightarrow Mn^{2+}
