A chemist titrates 130.0mL of a 0.4248 M lidocaine (C14H21NONH) solution with 0.4429 M HBr solution at 25 degree C . Calculate t

he pH at equivalence. The pKb of lidocaine is 7.94 . Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Note for advanced students: you may assume the total volume of the solution equals the initial volume plus the volume of HBr solution added.

Answer:

pH = 3.36

Explanation:

Lidocaine is a weak base to be titrated with the strong acid HBr, therefore at equivalence point we wil have the protonated lidocaine weak conjugate acid of lidocaine which will drive the pH.

Thus to solve the question we will need to calculate the concentration of this weak acid at equivalence point.

Molarity = mol /V ∴ mol = V x M

mol lidocaine = (130 mL/1000 mL/L) x 0.4248 mol/L = 0.0552 mol

The volume of 0.4429 M HBr required to neutralize this 0.0552 mol is

0.0552 mol x  (1L / 0.4429mol) = 0.125 L

Total volume at equivalence is  initial volume lidocaine + volume HBr added

0 .130 L +0.125 L = 0.255L

and the concentration of protonated lidocaine at the end of the titration will be

0.0552 mol / 0.255 L = 0.22M

Now to calculate the pH we setup our customary ICE table for  weak acids for the equilibria:

protonated lidocaine + H₂O   ⇆  lidocaine + H₃O⁺

                      protonated lidocaine          lidocaine        H₃O⁺

Initial(M)               0.22                                       0                  0

Change                   -x                                      +x                 +x

Equilibrium          0.22 - x                                  x                    x

We know for this equilibrium

Ka = [Lidocaine] [H₃O⁺] / [protonaded Lidocaine] =  x² / ( 0.22 - x )

The Ka can be calculated from the given pKb for lidocaine

Kb = antilog( - 7.94 ) = 1.15 x 10⁻⁸

Ka = Kw / Kb = 10⁻¹⁴ / 1.15 x 10⁻⁸  = 8.71 x 10⁻⁷

Since Ka is very small we can make the approximation 0.22  - x  ≈ 0.22

and solve for x. The pH  will then  be the negative log of this value.

8.71 x 10⁻⁷  = x² / 0.22 ⇒ x = √(/ 8.71 X 10⁻⁷ x 0.22) = 4.38 x 10⁻⁴

( Indeed our approximation checks since 4.38 x 10⁻⁴ is just 0.2 % of 0.22 )

pH = - log ( 4.4x 10⁻⁴) = 3.36

For a gas containing 80% CH4 and 20% He is sent through a quart diffusion tube, the composition is mathematically given as

%He=12.5%

%CH4=87.5%

<h3>What is the composition of the waste gas if 100 kg moles of gas are processed per minute?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the Material balance  is mathematically given as

F=R+W

Therefore

100=0.20*1000+W

W=80kmol/min

In conclusion, waste gas compose

Draw the major organic product(s) for the reaction. The starting material is a benzene ring with one substituent. The substituen
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

In electrophilic aromatic substitution, the benzene ring undergoes substitution when it is reacted with suitable electrophiles.

The products of electrophilic aromatic substitution depends on the substituents already present on the benzene ring. Some substituents activate the ring towards electrophilic substitution and direct the incoming electrophile to the ortho and para positions on the ring while some substituents deactivate the benzene ring towards electrophilic substitution and direct the incoming electrophlle to the meta position on the ring.

The amide substituent is moderately activating and is an ortho, para director hence the products shown in the mage attached to this answer.

The base that will NOT combine with 2-deoxyribose to form a nucleic acid is _____.
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Uracil

Explanation:

The base that will NOT combine with 2-deoxyribose to form a nucleic acid is Uracil.

2-deoxyribose is a pentose sugar found in the DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid). It is devoid of oxygen in its 2' position. The bases found in DNA are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine. Adenine, Guanine, and Cytosine are also found in RNA (Ribonucleic acid). Thymine is not present in RNA, it is only found in DNA. The base found in RNA is Uracil which in turn is not present in DNA. The five carbon sugar present in RNA is ribose which combines with Uracil.

Find the ph of a buffer that consists of 0.18 m ch3nh2 and 0.73 m ch3nh3cl (pkb of ch3nh2 = 3.35)?
ozzi
Hello!

First, we need to determine the pKa of the base. It can be found applying the following equation:

pKa=14-pKb=14-3,35=10,65

Now, we can apply the Henderson-Hasselbach's equation in the following way:

pH=pKa+log( \frac{[CH_3NH_2]}{[CH_3NH_3Cl]} )=10,65+log( \frac{0,18M}{0,73M} )=10,04

So, the pH of this buffer solution is 10,04

Have a nice day!
