Data:
Molar Mass of HNO2
H = 1*1 = 1 amu
N = 1*14 = 14 amu
O = 3*16 = 48 amu
------------------------
Molar Mass of HNO2 = 1 + 14 + 48 = 63 g/mol

M (molarity) = 0.010 M (Mol/L)


Now, since the Molarity and ionization constant has been supplied, we will find the degree of ionization, let us see:
M (molarity) = 0.010 M (Mol/L)
Use: Ka (ionization constant) = 5.0*10^{-4}
\alpha^2 (degree\:of\:ionization) = ?

Ka = M * \alpha^2
5.0*10^{-4} = 0.010* \alpha^2
0.010\alpha^2 = 5.0*10^{-4}
\alpha^2 = \frac{5.0*10^{-4}}{0.010}
\alpha^2\approx500*10^{-4}

\alpha\approx\sqrt{500*10^{-4}}
\alpha \approx 2.23*10^{-3}

Now, we will calculate the amount of Hydronium [H3O+] in nitrous acid (HNO2), multiply the acid molarity by the degree of ionization, we will have:

[ H_{3} O^+] = M* \alpha
[ H_{3} O^+] = 0.010* 2.23*10^{-3}
[ H_{3} O^+] \approx 0.0223*10^{-3}
[ H_{3} O^+] \approx 2.23*10^{-5} \:mol/L

And finally, we will use the data found and put in the logarithmic equation of the PH, thus:

Data:
log10(2.23) ≈ 0.34
pH = ?
[ H_{3} O^+] = 2.23*10^{-5}

Formula:
pH = - log[H_{3} O^+]

Solving:
pH = - log[H_{3} O^+]
pH = -log2.23*10^{-5}
pH = 5 - log2.23
pH = 5 - 0.34
\boxed{\boxed{pH = 4.66}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

Note:. The pH <7, then we have an acidic solution.

What is the theoretical yield of fluorenone if you oxidize 175 mg of fluorene?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

  • 602 mg of CO₂ and 94.8 mg of H₂O

Explanation:

The<em> yield</em> is measured by the amount of each product produced by the reaction.

The chemical formula of <em>fluorene</em> is C₁₃H₁₀, and its molar mass is 166.223 g/mol.

The <em>oxidation</em>, also know as combustion, of this hydrocarbon is represented by the following balanced chemical equation:

        2C_{13}H_{10}+31O_2\rightarrow 26CO_2+10H_2O

To calculate the yield follow these steps:

<u>1. Mole ratio</u>

          2molC_{13}H_{10}:31molO_2:26molCO_2:10molH_2O

<u />

<u>2. Convert 175mg of fluorene to number of moles</u>

  • 175mg/times 1g/1,000mg=0.175g

  • Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

  • \text{number of moles}=0.175g/166.223g/mol=0.0010528mol

<u>3. Set a proportion for each product of the reaction</u>

a) <u>For CO₂</u>

i) number of moles

         2molC_{10}H_{13}/26molCO_2=0.0010528molC_{10}H{13}/x

x=0.0010528molC_{10}H_{13}\times 26molCO_2/2molC_{10}H_{13}=0.013686molCO_2

ii) mass in grams

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01g/mol

  • mass = number of moles × molar mass
  • mass = 0.013686 moles × 44.01 g/mol = 0.602 g = 602mg

b) <u>For H₂O</u>

i) number of moles

0.0010528molC_{10}H_{13}\times10molH_2O/2molC_{10}H_{13}=0.00526molH_2O

ii) mass in grams

The molar mass of H₂O is 18.015g/mol

  • mass = number of moles × molar mass
  • mass = 0.00526 moles × 18.015 g/mol = 0.0948mg = 94.8 mg
