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

Question 1<br> 1 pts<br> How many mols of bromine are present in 35.7g of<br> Tin(IV) bromate?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

n = 0.0814 mol

Explanation:

Given mass, m = 35.7g

The molar mass of Tin(IV) bromate, M = 438.33 g/mol

We need to find the number of moles of bromine. We know that,

No. of moles = given mass/molar mass

So,

n=\dfrac{35.7}{438.33}\\\\n=0.0814\ mol

So, there are 0.0814 moles of bromine in 35.7g of  Tin(IV) bromate.

You are given two unknown acids, HX and H2Y, and two values for Ka, 1x10^-7 and 1x10^9. You know that X is a much more electrone
Elena L [17]

Answer:

.

Explanation

In HX , X is more electronegative than Y so HX will ionise more because of  ionic bond between H and X . On the other hand H₂Y will be less polar as compared to HX so it will ionise to a lesser extent . Hence Ka will be more for HX . Ka represents the degree of ionisation of acid . Higher the ionisation , higher is the value of Ka . H₂Y which is less polar will ionise less and hence it will have lesser value of Ka .

Hence H₂Y will have value of 10⁻⁷ and HX will have value of ka equal to 10⁹ .

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The expression to calculate the mass of the reactant is m = \frac{1.080kJ}{31.2kJ/g}

Explanation:

<em>The amount of heat released is equal to the amount of heat released per gram of reactant times the mass of the reactant.</em> To keep to coherence between units we need to transform 1,080 J to kJ. We do so with proportions:

1,080J.\frac{1kJ}{10^{3}J } =1.080kJ

Then,

1.080kJ=31.2\frac{kJ}{g} .m\\m = \frac{1.080kJ}{31.2kJ/g}
