Answer:

pH = 7.233

Explanation:

Initially, the buffer contains 0.208 moles of NaHSO₃ and 0.134 moles of Na₂SO₃.

NaHSO₃ reacts with NaOH thus:

NaHSO₃ + NaOH → Na₂SO₃ + H₂O

50.0 mL of 1.00 M NaOH are:

0.0500L × (1mol / 1L) = 0.0500moles of NaOH added. That means after the addition are produced  0.0500moles of Na₂SO₃ and consumed 0.0500moles of NaHSO₃. That means final moles of the buffer are:

NaHSO₃: 0.208 mol - 0.050 mol = <em>0.158 mol</em>

Na₂SO₃: 0.134 mol + 0.050 mol = <em>0.184 mol</em>

<em> </em>

As pKa of this buffer is 7.167, it is possible to use H-H equation to find pH, thus:

pH = pKa + log₁₀ [Na₂SO₃] / [NaHSO₃]

pH = 7.167 + log₁₀ [0.184] / [0.158]

<em>pH = 7.233</em>

E. The element 231/90Th decays to 231/91 Pa. Use the laws of conservation of charge and nucleon number to determine the decay pa
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

A negatron emission

Explanation:

We know that radioactivity orginates from instability of the nucleus. When the nucleus is unstable, radioactive emissions are produced in the form of any of these rays:

> Alpha particle emisson

>Beta particles

> Gamma rays

These emissions create a balance for a radioactive decay.

In balancing nuclear reactions we make sure that the charges on both sides must be conserved and that the mass number and atomic numbers conserved too. This means that the sum of mass number and atomic numbers on both side of the reaction must be equal.

The nucleons are the protons and neutrons, they add up to give the mass number. The atomic number is the proton number.

For the given radioactive reaction:

²³¹₉₀Th → ²³¹₉₁Pa + ?

From this equation, we see that the mass number is conserved but the atomic number is not.

The mass number is the superscript whereas the atomic number is the subscript.

Let's say the decay produces an emission of a particle denoted by X

²³¹₉₀Th → ²³¹₉₁Pa + ᵃₙX

What would the nature of X be?

For the charges and masses to be conserved, X must have mass number of 0 and an atomic number of -1.

Checking:

Mass number:

231 = 231 + a ( a is the mass number)

a = 231 - 231 = 0

Atomic number:

90 = 91 + n

n = 90- 91 = - 1

With X having a mass number of 0 and an atomic number of -1, we have a beta particle emission. Specifically, a negatron has been emitted.

A negatron is denoted as ⁰₋₁β which perfectly makes the equation conserved and suits the description of X.

The complete equation is thus written as:

²³¹₉₀Th → ²³¹₉₁Pa + ⁰₋₁β + energy

Analysis of a gaseous chlorofluorocarbon, CClxFy, shows that it contains 11.79% C and 69.57% Cl. In another experiment, you find
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The molecular formula = C_2Cl_{4}F_2

Explanation:

Moles =\frac {Given\ mass}{Molar\ mass}

% of C = 11.79

Molar mass of C = 12.0107 g/mol

<u>% moles of C = 11.79 / 12.0107 = 0.9816</u>

% of Cl = 69.57

Molar mass of Cl = 35.453 g/mol

<u>% moles of Cl = 69.57 / 35.453 = 1.9623</u>

Given that the gaseous chlorofluorocarbon only contains chlorine, flourine and carbon. So,

% of F = 100% - % of C - % of C = 100 - 11.79 - 69.57 = 18.64

Molar mass of F = 18.998 g/mol

<u>% moles of F = 18.64 / 18.998 = 0.9812</u>

Taking the simplest ratio for C, Cl and F as:

0.9816 : 1.9623 : 0.9812

= 1 : 2 : 1

The empirical formula is = CCl_2F

Also, Given that:

Pressure = 21.3 mm Hg

Also, P (mm Hg) = P (atm) / 760

Pressure = 21.3 / 760 = 0.02803 atm

Temperature = 25 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T = (25 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K  

Volume = 458 mL  = 0.458 L (1 mL = 0.001 L)

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

0.02803 atm × 0.458 L = n × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 298.15 K  

⇒n = 0.00052445 moles

Given that :  

Amount  = 0.107 g  

Molar mass = ?

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

0.00052445= \frac{0.107\ g}{Molar\ mass}

Molar\ mass= 204.0233\ g/mol

Molecular formulas is the actual number of atoms of each element in the compound while empirical formulas is the simplest or reduced ratio of the elements in the compound.

Thus,  

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

Where, n is any positive number from 1, 2, 3...

Mass from the Empirical formula = 1×12.0107 + 2×35.453 + 1×18.998 = 101.9147 g/mol

Molar mass = 204.0233 g/mol

So,  

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

204.0233 = n × 101.9147

⇒ n = 2

<u>The molecular formula = C_2Cl_{4}F_2</u>
