For an aqueous solution of hf, determine the van't hoff factor assuming 0% and 100% ionization, respectively. a solution is made
Snowcat [4.5K]
According to Osmotic pressure equation:

π = i M R T

When π =0.307 atm & M = 0.01 mol & R (constant)= 0.0821 L-atom/mol-K &
T= 22+273 = 295 Kelvin

So Van't half vector i = π / (MRT)
                                   = 0.307 / (0.01 * 0.0821 * 295)
                                   = 1.27 

When there is no dissociation, i = no. of moles of Hf in 1 L of solution = (1-X) 
and when there is a complete dissociation so it is equal 2X according to this equation


HF(aq) + H2O (L) ⇆ H3O (aq) + F (aq)
(1-X)                                X              X

∴ i = (1-X) + (2x)

 1.27 = 1+X
∴X= 1.27 - 1 = 0.27 
∴ the percent ionization of the acid X = 27 %

rank the four gases (air, exhaled air, gas produced from the decomposition of H2O2, gas from decomposition of NaHCO3, in order o
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer: H₂O₂ (94%) > Air (23%) > Exhaled air (13%) > NaHCO₃ (0%)


Initial important note:


Although NaHCO₃ contents oxygen atoms, and you can calculate its compositoin, the resulting gas does not containg pure oxygen gas (O₂). For the comparisson it is not useful to calculate the content of oxygent atoms, but the concentration of O₂ gas. As such, the gas from NaHCO₃ contains 0% of pure O₂, that is why it is ranked last.


1) Air:


Source: internet


Approximate 23%. It is variable, because air is not a pure substance but a mixture of gases, whose compositon is not unique.


2) Exhaled air:


Source: internet.


Approximate 13%. The compositon of the air changes in our lungs, due to the respiration process: we inhale fresh air with around 23% of oxygen, part of this oxygen pass to the cells (lungs - blood - heart - cells) and then it is exhaled with a lower content of air and a greater content of CO₂


3) Air from the decomposition of H₂O₂.


In this case we can do a chemical calculation, since we can state the chemical equation of the reaction:


i) Chemical Equation:


H₂O₂ (g) → H₂ (g) + O₂ (g)


ii) mole ratio of the products 1 mol H₂ : 1 mol O₂


iii) convert moles into mass (grams)


1 mol H₂ × 2 × 1.008 g/mol = 2.016 g


1 mol O₂ × 2 × 15.999 g/mol = 31.998 g


Composition, % = [31.998 g / (2.016 g + 31.998 g) ] × 100 ≈ 94%



4) Air from the decomposition of NaHCO₃:


i) chemical equation:


2 NaHCO₃(s) → Na₂CO₃(s) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)


ii) mole ratio: take into account only the gases in the products:


1 mol CO₂ (g) : 1 mol H₂O


iii) mass in grams


CO₂: molar mass ia approximately 44.01 g/mol


H₂O: molar mass is approximately 18.02 g/mol


iii) Those gases although have oxygen atoms, do not hae free oxygen gas, which is what we are compariing. That means, that from the decomposition of NaHCO₃ you get 0% oxygen gas.


5) The result is:


H₂O₂ (94%) > Air (23%) > Exhaled air (13%) > NaHCO₃ (0%)

Litmus is an indicator
Charged particles are ions
Acids contain H+ ions
Bases contain OH - ions
Hydronium ions are H3O+

Now, I have to take issue with the last one
A base of pH 14 is not a strong base, it would be a highly concentrated base. A strong base is a base that completely deionizes in water.

But technically, for the purpose of your answer strong base = pH 14
