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 = 
= 
= 
hence,
⇒ 


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.
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 = 
Number of moles =
= 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
:
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 = 
Volume of citric acid =
= 0.074L
Expressing in mL gives 74mL
Decreased, this is due to the roots of the plants holding the soil together
Li because its charge is +1.
