A 0.552-g sample of ascorbic acid was dissolved in water to a total volume of 0.20 mL and titrated with 0.1103 M KOH. The equiva

lence point occurred at 28.42 mL. The pH of the solution at 10.0mL of added base was 3.72. From this data, determine the molar rmass and Ka for vitamin C.

Answer:

176.1 g/mol , Ka = 10^{-3.984} =1.03 * 10^{-4}

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is as shown in the attached diagram below

the reaction of Sodium Hydroxide, NaOH with ascorbic acid, C₆H₈O₆ is similar to the reaction of Potassium Hydroxide, KOH with ascorbic acid as show

C₆H₈O₆  +  KOH     ⇒     C₆H₇O₅K    +   H₂O

to produce one mole of potassium ascorbate and water

now,

0.1103 M KOH is contained in 1000mL

x moles is contained in 20mL

cross multiply making x the subject

No of moles of KOH = (0.1103 x 28.42)/1000 = 0.003135 moles

or

Moles KOH = 0.1103 x 0.02842 L = 0.003135  = moles ascorbic acid

Molar mass = 0.552 g / 0.003135 mol = 176.1 g/mol

Moles ascorbic acid = 0.552 / 176.1 =0.00313

moles NaOH = 0.0100 L x 0.1103 =0.001103

C₆H₈O₆ + OH⁻ >> C₆H₇O₆⁻ + H2O

Moles ascorbic acid in excess = 0.00313 - 0.001103 = 0.002027

Moles C₆H₇O₆⁻ = 0.001103

total volume = 20 + 10 = 30 mL = 0.030 L

concentration ascorbic acid = 0.002027 / 0.030 =0.0676 M

concentration C₆H₇O₆⁻ = 0.001103 / 0.030 =0.0368 M

pH = pKa + log [C₆H₇O₆⁻] / [C₆H₈O₆]

3.72 = pKa + log 0.0368 / 0.0676

3.72 = pKa - 0.264

pKa =3.984

Ka = 10^{-3.984} =1.03 * 10^{-4}

Ka = 10^-3.984 =1.03 x 10^-4

Determine the moles of NH3 that can form from 70.0 grams N2.
Darina [25.2K]

Hey there!

5 moles will be produced.

N₂ has a molar mass of 28.014 g/mol.

Convert 70g to mol:

70 ÷ 28.014 = 2.5

In N₂ there are 2 nitrogen atoms. In NH₃ there is 1 nitrogen atom.

So, there will be twice as many moles of NH₃ because every one molecule of N₂ will produce two molecules of NH₃.

2.5 x 2 = 5 moles

Hope this helps!

CARBOHYDRATES are found primarily in plant-based foods and are a major source of energy in the body (4 kcals per gram). If you c
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The 200 grams of carbohydrate would this convert to 800 kcals in a day.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are the source of energy. The metabolism of 1 gram of carbohydrates gives 4 kcals of energy.

If 200 grams of carbohydrate is consumed in a day, then the energy provided by it is:-

Energy\ provided\ by\ the\ carbohydrate = 200\times 4\ kcals=800\ kcals

<u>The 200 grams of carbohydrate would this convert to 800 kcals in a day.</u>

Gas is heated from 480. K to 750. K and the pressure is kept constant, what final volume would result if the original volume was
attashe74 [19]
Charles law gives the relationship between volume and temperature of gas.
It states that at constant pressure volume is directly proportional to temperature
Therefore
V/ T = k
Where V - volume T - temperature in kelvin and k - constant
V1/T1 = V2/T2
Parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation
Substituting the values in the equation
267 L/ 480 K = V / 750 K
V = 417 L
Final volume is 417 L

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space, It can exist in 3 states, or phases: solid, liquid, and gas.

Solid molecules are closely packed together and retain a fixed shape.

Liquid molecules aren't packed very closely, and take the shape of the bottom of the container.

Gas molecules are far apart and fill the container

completely.
