Answer:

a) pH = 9.14

b) pH = 8.98

c) pH = 8.79

Explanation:

In this case we have an acid base titration. We have a weak base in this case the pyridine (C₅H₅N) and a strong acid which is the HCl.

Now, we want the know the pH of the resulting solution when we add the following volume of acid: 0, 10 and 20.

To know this, we first need to know the equivalence point of this titration. This can be known using the following expression:

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂ (1)

Using this expression, we can calculate the volume of acid required to reach the equivalence point. Doing that we have:

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

V₁ = M₂V₂ / M₁

V₁ = 0.125 * 25 / 0.1 = 31.25 mL

This means that the acid and base will reach the equivalence point at 31.25 mL of acid added. So, the volume of added acid of before, are all below this mark, so we can expect that the pH of this solution will be higher than 7, in other words, still basic.

To know the value of pH, we need to apply the following expression:

pH = 14 - pOH (2)

the pOH can be calculated using this expression:

pOH = -log[OH⁻] (3)

The [OH⁻] is a value that can be calculated when the pyridine is dissociated into it's ion. However, as this is a weak acid, the pyridine will not dissociate completely in solution, instead, only a part of it will be dissociated. Now, to know this, we need the Kb value of the pyridine.

The reported Kb value of the pyridine is 1.5x10⁻⁹ so, with this value we will do an ICE chart for each case, and then, calculate the value of the pH.

<u>a) 0 mL of acid added.</u>

In this case, the titration has not begun, so the concentration of the base will not be altered. Now, with the Kb value, let's write an ICE chart to calculate the [OH⁻], the pOH and then the pH:

C₅H₅N + H₂O <-------> C₅H₅NH⁺ + OH⁻ Kb = 1.5x10⁻⁹

i) 0.125 0 0

e) -x +x +x

c) 0.125-x x x

Writting the Kb expression:

Kb = [C₅H₅NH⁺] [OH⁻] / [C₅H₅N] replacing the values of the chart:

1.5x10⁻⁹ = x² / 0.125-x --> Kb is really small, so we can assume that x will be very small too, and 0.125-x can be neglected to only 0.125, and then:

1.5x10⁻⁹ = x² / 0.125

1.5x10⁻⁹ * 0.125 = x²

x = [OH⁻] = 1.37x10⁻⁵ M

Now, we can calculate the pOH:

pOH = -log(1.37x10⁻⁵) = 4.86

Finally the pH:

pH = 14 - 4.86

<u>b) 10 mL of acid added</u>

In this case the titration has begun so the acid starts to react with the base, so we need to know how many moles of the base remains after the volume of added acid:

moles acid = 0.1 * (0.010) = 1x10⁻³ moles

moles base = 0.125 * 0.025 = 3.125x10⁻³

This means that the base is still in higher quantities, and the acid is the limiting reactant here, so the remaining moles will be:

remaining moles of pyridine = 3.125x10⁻³ - 1x10⁻³ = 2.125x10⁻³ moles

The concentration of pyridine in solution:

[C₅H₅N] = 2.125x10⁻³ / (0.025 + 0.010) = 0.0607 M

Now with this concentration, we will do the same procedure of before, with the ICE chart, but replacing this new value of the base, to get the [OH⁻] and then the pH:

C₅H₅N + H₂O <-------> C₅H₅NH⁺ + OH⁻ Kb = 1.5x10⁻⁹

i) 0.0607 0 0

e) -x +x +x

c) 0.0607-x x x

Writting the Kb expression:

Kb = [C₅H₅NH⁺] [OH⁻] / [C₅H₅N] replacing the values of the chart:

1.5x10⁻⁹ = x² / 0.0607-x --> 0.0607

1.5x10⁻⁹ = x² / 0.0607

1.5x10⁻⁹ * 0.0607 = x²

x = [OH⁻] = 9.54x10⁻⁶ M

Now, we can calculate the pOH:

pOH = -log(9.54x10⁻⁶) = 5.02

Finally the pH:

pH = 14 - 5.02

<u>c) 20 mL of acid added:</u>

In this case the titration it's almost reaching the equivalence point and the acid is still reacting with the base, so we need to know how many moles of the base remains after the volume of added acid:

moles acid = 0.1 * (0.020) = 2x10⁻³ moles

moles base = 0.125 * 0.025 = 3.125x10⁻³

This means that the base is still in higher quantities, and the acid is the limiting reactant here, so the remaining moles will be:

remaining moles of pyridine = 3.125x10⁻³ - 2x10⁻³ = 1.125x10⁻³ moles

The concentration of pyridine in solution:

[C₅H₅N] = 1.125x10⁻³ / (0.025 + 0.020) = 0.025 M

Now with this concentration, we will do the same procedure of before, with the ICE chart, but replacing this new value of the base, to get the [OH⁻] and then the pH:

C₅H₅N + H₂O <-------> C₅H₅NH⁺ + OH⁻ Kb = 1.5x10⁻⁹

i) 0.025 0 0

e) -x +x +x

c) 0.025-x x x

Writting the Kb expression:

Kb = [C₅H₅NH⁺] [OH⁻] / [C₅H₅N] replacing the values of the chart:

1.5x10⁻⁹ = x² / 0.025-x --> 0.025

1.5x10⁻⁹ = x² / 0.025

1.5x10⁻⁹ * 0.025 = x²

x = [OH⁻] = 6.12x10⁻⁶ M

Now, we can calculate the pOH:

pOH = -log(6.12x10⁻⁶) = 5.21

Finally the pH:

pH = 14 - 5.21

λmax for the π → π* transition in ethylene is 170 nm. Is the HOMO-LUMO energy difference in ethylene greater than or less than t

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

the HOMO-LUMO energy difference in ethylene is greater than that of cis,trans−1,3−cyclooctadiene

Explanation:

The λmax is the wavelength of maximum absorption. We could use it to calculate the HOMO-LUMO energy difference as follows:

For ethylene

E= hc/λ= 6.63×10^-34×3×10^8/170×10^-9= 1.17×10^-18J

For cis,trans−1,3−cyclooctadiene

E= hc/λ=6.63×10^-34×3×10^8/230×10^-9=8.6×10^-19J

Therefore, the HOMO-LUMO energy difference in ethylene is greater than that of cis,trans−1,3−cyclooctadiene

A solution prepared by mixing 10 ml of 1 m hcl and 10 ml of 1.2 m naoh has a ph of

blagie [28]

Answer: pH of resulting solution will be 13

Explanation:

pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

Moles of $H^+$ ion = $Molarity\times {\text {Volume in L}}=1M\times 0.01L=0.01mol$

Moles of $OH^-$ ion = $Molarity\times {\text {Volume in L}}=1.2M\times 0.01L=0.012mol$

$HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O$

For neutralization:

1 mole of $H^+$ ion will react with 1 mole of $OH^-$ ion

0.01 mol of $H^+$ ion will react with = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.01mole$ of $OH^-$ ion

Thus (0.012-0.01)= 0.002 moles of $OH^-$ are left in 20 ml or 0.02 L of solution.

$[OH^-]=\frac{0.002}{0.02L}=0.1M$

$pOH=-log[OH^-]$

$pOH=-log[0.1]=1$

$pH+pOH=14$

$pH=14-1=13$

Thus the pH of resulting solution will be 13

What makes a substance pure?

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: When a substance is pure, it is composed of one type of molecule. For example, table salt is only composed of (more or less) salt molecules, while seawater has water and salt molecules. A more complicated example of a non - pure substance is soil. It has many different types of nutrients and compounds.

Answer:

G<0, spontanteous

H<0, from equation

S>0, gas to solid

Explanation:

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. Despite its name, silica gel is a solid. It is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of SiO2. Water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, so it acts as a desiccant. Despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided, you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. Predict the signs of ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS.

The molar solubility of C a ( O H ) 2 C a ( O H ) 2 was experimentally determined to be 0.019 M. Based on this value, what is th

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Ksp = 2.74 x 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

The solubility equilibrium for Ca(OH)₂ is the following:

Ca(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)

I 0 0

C + s + 2s

E s 2s

According to the ICE table, the expression for the solubility product constant (Kps) is:

Ksp = [Ca²⁺] x ([OH⁻])² = s x (2s)² = 4s³

Then, we calculate Ksp from the solubility value (s):

s = 0.019 M

⇒ Ksp = 4s³ = 4 x (0.019)³ = 2.74 x 10⁻⁵
