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

Firdavs [7]

Question:

A student weighed an empty graduated cylinder. It weighed 35.86 g. She then carefully added water to the graduated cylinder until it reached the 7.5 mL mark. When she weighed the graduated cylinder again, this time with the 7.5 mL of water in it, it weighed 43.18 g. What was this student's experimental density of water?

Answer:

0.976 g/mL

Explanation:

Weight of empty cylinder = 35.86g

Volume of water = 7.5mL

Weight of cylinder + water = 43.18g

Experimental density = ?

Density of water = Mass of water / volume of water

Mass of water = (Weight of cylinder + water) - Weight of empty cylinder

Mass of water = 43.18 - 35.86 = 7.32g

Density = 7.32 / 7.5 = 0.976 g/mL

When 3-iodo-3-ethylpentane is heated in methanol, the major organic product is an __________________ that is generated through a
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Ether

SN1 mechanism

Explanation:

The nucleophile in this reaction is CH3OH. It is a poor nucleopile. We already know that a poor nucleophile reacting with a tertiary alkyl halide often leads to the substitution product as the major product.

Also, the iodide ion is a good leaving group. This makes the SN1 substitution more likely yielding the ether as the major product as shown in the image attached.

Can 1750 mL of water dissolve 4.6 moles of Copper Sulfate CuSO4? _________ Why? / Why not?
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

  • <u>No, you cannot dissolve 4.6 moles of copper sulfate, CuSO₄, in 1750mL of water.</u>

Explanation:

This question is part of a Post-Lab exercise sheet.

Such sheet include the saturation concentrations for several salts.

The saturation concentration of Copper Sulfate, CuSO₄, indicated in the table is 1.380M.

That means that 1.380 moles of copper sulfate is the maximum amount that can be dissolved in one liter of solution.

Find the molar concentration for 4.6 moles of copper sulfate in 1,750 mL of water.

You need to assume that the volume of water (1750mL) is the volume of the solution. This is, that the 4.6 moles of copper sulfate have a negligible volume.

<u>1. Volume in liters:</u>

  • V = 1,750 mL × 1 liter / 1,000 mL = 1.75 liter

<u />

<u>2. Molar concentration, molarity, M:</u>

  • M = number of moles of solute / volume of solution in liters

  • M = 4.6 moles / 1.75 liter = 2.6 M

Since the solution is saturated at 1.380M, you cannot reach the 2.6M concentration, meaning that you cannot dissolve 4.6 moles of copper sulfate, CuSO₄ in 1750mL of water.

Which career best fits the group of words below?
Alik [6]

Answer:

The answer is "power dispatcher."

Explanation:

"Power dispatchers" are also known as <em>"power distributors</em>." Their field of work is related to controlling the distribution of electricity to the <em>"electrical substations." </em>These substations allow the transmission of electricity to step down from a higher voltage to a lower voltage.

Whenever there is an electrical problem, the power dispatcher also comes into play. They make sure that the power lines are intact and checks for possible damages when typhoons or earthquakes occur.

Thus, this explains the answer.
