Answer:

Benzoic acid: 1.288g

Sodium benzoate: 124.48g

Explanation:

Benzoic acid, HC7H5O2 is in equilibrium with its conjugate base, C7H5O2⁻ producing a buffer. The pH of the buffer can be determined following H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [C7H5O2⁻] / [HC7H5O2] (1)

<em>Where pH is desire pH = 6.10 pKa is -log Ka = 4.187 and [] are molar concentrations of the buffer.</em>

As you want to prepare 2.5L of a 0.35M of buffer, moles of buffer are:

2.5L ₓ (0.35mol / L) = 0.875moles of buffer.

And you can write:

0.875 moles = [C7H5O2⁻] + [HC7H5O2] (2)

Replacing (2) in (1)

pH = pKa + log [C7H5O2⁻] / [HC7H5O2]

6.10 = 4.187 + log [C7H5O2⁻] / [HC7H5O2]

1.913 =  log [C7H5O2⁻] / [HC7H5O2]

81.846 = 0.875mol - [HC7H5O2] / [HC7H5O2]

81.846 [HC7H5O2] = 0.875mol - [HC7H5O2]

82.846 [HC7H5O2] = 0.875mol

<h3>[HC7H5O2] = 0.01056 moles</h3>

And moles of the benzoate, [C7H5O2⁻]:

[C7H5O2⁻] = 0.875mol - 0.01056mol =

<h3>[C7H5O2⁻] = 0.8644mol</h3><h3 />

Using molar mass of benzoic acid and sodium benzoate, amount of each compound you must add to prepare 2.5L of the buffer are:

Benzoic acid: 0.01056mol ₓ (122.01g/mol) = 1.288g

Sodium benzoate: 0.8644mol ₓ (144.01g/mol) = 124.482g

How many joules of heat are needed to change 50.0 grams of ice at 0 C to boil at 120.0 C? Show work
Tcecarenko [31]
This can be done in the following way;
1 determining the heat required to convert 0° C ice to 0°C water
 Heat of fusion of water = 334  J/g
Therefore; Heat = 50 g × 334 J/g =  16700 J
2. Determining the heat required to raise the temperature of water from 0° C to 100°C.
Specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g°C
Change in temperature is 100°C
Therefore; Heat = 50 g × 4.18 J/g°C × 100 = 20900 J
3. Determining the heat required to convert 100 ° C water to 100°C vapor
Heat of vaporization of water = 2257 J/g
Heat = Mass of water × heat of vaporization
Heat = 50 g × 2257 = 112850 J
4. Determining the heat required to go from 100° C to 120° vapor
specific heat of vapor = 2.09 J/g°C
Heat = mass × Specific heat of vapor × change in temperature
        = 50 g × 2.09 ×(120-100) = 2090 J

Therefore the total heat required is 
 = 16700 J + 20900 J + 112850 J + 2090 J =  152540 J or 152.54 kJ
