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

<h2>pH = 9.14</h2>

<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

<h2>pH = 8.98</h2>

<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

<h2>pH = 8.79</h2>

Which of the following is an oxidation-reduction reaction?
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

D) Ba(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → BaCl2(aq) + H2(g)

Explanation:

In a redox reaction, One atom is gaining electrons (Reduction) whereas other is loosing electrons (Oxidation). In the reactions:

A) HBr(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaBr(aq) + H2O(l)

As sodium is always +1 and Br always -1, <em>this is not a redox reaction.</em>

B) NaI(aq) + AgNO3(aq) → AgI(s) + NaNO3(aq)

Sodium is always +1 and nitrate ion is -1. <em>This is not a redox reaction</em>

C) Pb(C2H3O2)2(aq) + 2 LiBr(aq) → PbBr2(s) + 2 LiC2H3O2(aq)

Acetate ion, C2H3O2 is -1 as Br is -1, lithium is +1 and Pb +2, <em>This is not a redox reactoin</em>

<h3>D) Ba(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → BaCl2(aq) + H2(g)</h3>

Barium is 0 as Ba(s) but +1 as BaCl2. Is oxidizing

Hydrogen is +1 as HCl but 0 as H2. Is reducting.

This reaction is an oxidation-reduction reaction

Which graph shows the relationship between the temperature and volume of agas according to Charles's law?Volume vs. Temperature
solmaris [256]
Graph D.

Charles's law states that at the same pressure, the Volumen of a gas is proportional to its temperature (absolute temperature).

This is

V = K T, where K is the constant of proportionallity.

You can also write it in the form

V1 / V2 = T1/ Ts

When Temperature rise Volumen rise in a proportional way. If Temperature doubles Volumen doubles, if Tempearature is decreases to on third, Volume will decrease to one third.

Benzene has a specific gravity of 0.88. if it was spilled in a river what would it do?
Gelneren [198K]
As we know,
                    Density of Benzene  =  876 Kg/m³
And,
                    Density of Water       =  997 Kg/m³
So,
     Specific Gravity is calculated as,

                     Specific Gravity  =  Density of Benzene / Density of Water

                     Specific Gravity    =   876 Kg/m³ / 997 Kg/m³

                     Specific Gravity    =  0.878

Every object having specific gravity less than 1 will float on water and if value is greater than 1 then it will sink.

Benzene being non-polar in nature does not mix with water and due to less density it will float on the surface of water.
