Which of the following statements is true?

1 answer:

7 0

A is automatically wrong since protons have a +1 charge. B is wrong since it states electrons have no charge. C is wrong since it says electrons have no charge. Therefore we are left with D.

) Do you think the pH of 1,0 M tri-methyl ammonium (CH3)3NH+, pKa = 9.80, will be higher or lower than that of 1.0 M phenol, C6H

Elanso [62]

Answer:

1. The pH of 1.0 M trimethyl ammonium (pH = 1.01) is lower than the pH of 0.1 M phenol (5.00).

2. The difference in pH values is 4.95.

Explanation:

1. The pH of a compound can be found using the following equation:

$pH = -log([H_{3}O^{+}])$

First, we need to find [H₃O⁺] for trimethyl ammonium and for phenol.

<u>Trimethyl ammonium</u>:

We can calculate [H₃O⁺] using the Ka as follows:

(CH₃)₃NH⁺ + H₂O → (CH₃)₃N + H₃O⁺

1.0 - x x x

$Ka = \frac{[(CH_{3})_{3}N][H_{3}O^{+}]}{[(CH_{3})_{3}NH^{+}]}$

$10^{-pKa} = \frac{x*x}{1.0 - x}$

$10^{-9.80}(1.0 - x) - x^{2} = 0$

By solving the above equation for x we have:

x = 0.097 = [H₃O⁺]

$pH = -log([H_{3}O^{+}]) = -log(0.097) = 1.01$

<u>Phenol</u>:

C₆H₅OH + H₂O → C₆H₅O⁻ + H₃O⁺

1.0 - x x x

$Ka = \frac{[C_{6}H_{5}O^{-}][H_{3}O^{+}]}{[C_{6}H_{5}OH]}$

$10^{-10} = \frac{x^{2}}{1.0 - x}$

$1.0 \cdot 10^{-10}(1.0 - x) - x^{2} = 0$

Solving the above equation for x we have:

x = 9.96x10⁻⁶ = [H₃O⁺]

$pH = -log([H_{3}O^{+}]) = -log(9.99 \cdot 10^{-6}) = 5.00$

Hence, the pH of 1.0 M trimethyl ammonium is lower than the pH of 0.1 M phenol.

2. The difference in pH values for the two acids is:

$\Delta pH = pH_{C_{6}H_{5}OH} - pH_{(CH_{3})_{3}NH^{+}} = 5.00 - 1.01 = 4.95$

Therefore, the difference in pH values is 4.95.

I hope it helps you!

Does water added to a flask containing chlorine gas and solid sodium react in the chemical reaction to make sodium chloride

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Explanation:

Chemically, we can have a reaction between chlorine gas and solid sodium

This reaction is actually explosive and would produce fine powder of sodium chloride

We have the reaction as follows:

$2Na_{(s)}+Cl_{2(g)}\rightarrow2NaCl_{(s)}$

Essentally, what we can deduce from here is that we do not need to add water to the flask. Except for the reason that we would want the sodium chloride solid in the solution form, there is absolutely no reason to add water to the flask as the reaction would proceed normally
