Calculate the mass percent (m/m) of a solution prepared by dissolving 51.56 g of NaCl in 164.2 g of H2O. Express your answer to

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

"23.896%" is the right answer.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Mass of NaCl,

= 51.56 g

Mass of H₂O,

= 165.6 g

As we know,

⇒ Mass of solution = $Mass \ of \ (NaCl+H_2O)$

= $51.56+164.2$

= $215.76 \ g$

hence,

⇒ $Mass \ percent =\frac{Mass \ of \ NaCl}{Mass \ of \ solution}\times 100$

$=\frac{51.56}{215.76}\times 100$

$=23.896 \ percent$

If the K a Ka of a monoprotic weak acid is 7.3 × 10 − 6 , 7.3×10−6, what is the pH pH of a 0.40 M 0.40 M solution of this acid?

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

pH =3.8

Explanation:

Lets call the monoprotic weak acid HA, the dissociation equilibria in water will be:

HA + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + A⁻ with Ka = [ H₃O⁺] x [A⁻]/ [HA]

The pH is the negative log of the H₃O⁺ concentration, we know the equilibrium constant, Ka and the original acid concentration. So we will need to find the [H₃O⁺] to solve this question.

In order to do that lets set up the ICE table helper which accounts for the species at equilibrium:

HA H₃O⁺ A⁻

Initial, M 0.40 0 0

Change , M -x +x +x

Equilibrium, M 0.40 - x x x

Lets express these concentrations in terms of the equilibrium constant:

Ka = x² / (0.40 - x )

Now the equilibrium constant is so small ( very little dissociation of HA ) that is safe to approximate 0.40 - x to 0.40,

7.3 x 10⁻⁶ = x² / 0.40 ⇒ x = √( 7.3 x 10⁻⁶ x 0.40 ) = 1.71 x 10⁻³

[H₃O⁺] = 1.71 x 10⁻³

Indeed 1.71 x 10⁻³ is small compared to 0.40 (0.4 %). To be a good approximation our value should be less or equal to 5 %.

pH = - log ( 1.71 x 10⁻³ ) = 3.8

Note: when the aprroximation is greater than 5 % we will need to solve the resulting quadratic equation.

70 points and will give brainliest

ikadub [295]

Answer:

74mL

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Molar mass of citric acid = 192g/mol

Molar mass of baking soda = 84g/mol

Concentration of citric acid = 0.8M

Mass of baking powder = 15g

Unknown parameters:

Volume of citric acid = ?

Solution

Equation of the reaction:

C₆H₈O₇ + 3NaHCO₃ → Na₃C₆H₅O₇ + 3H₂O + 3CO₂

Procedure:

We work from the known parameters to the unknown. From the statement of the problem, we can approach the solution from the parameters of the baking powder.
From the baking powder, we can establish a molar relationship between the two reactants. We employ the mole concept in this regard.
We find the number of moles of the baking powder that went into the reaction using the expression below:

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

Number of moles = $\frac{15}{84}$ = 0.179mole

From the equation of the reaction, we can find the number of moles of the citric acid:

3 moles of baking powder reacted with 1 mole of citric acid

0.179 moles of baking powder would react with $\frac{0.179}{3}$ :

This yields 0.059mole of citric acid

To find the volume of the citric acid, we use the mole expression below:

Volume of citric acid = $\frac{number of moles}{concentration}$

Volume of citric acid = $\frac{0.059}{0.8}$ = 0.074L

Expressing in mL gives 74mL
