n the laboratory, two forms of sodium phosphate will be available (the monobasic monohydrate NaH2PO4·H2O, F.W. = 137.99 g/mol, a

nd the dibasic Na2HPO4, F.W. = 141.96 g/mol). Explain the most efficient way of making this phosphate buffer by using only one of the compounds, and specify which compound you will use.

Answer:

The compound you will use is the Dibasic phosphate

Explanation:

Simple phosphate buffer is used ubiquitously in biological experiments, as it can be adapted to a variety of pH levels, including isotonic. This wide range is due to phosphoric acid having 3 dissociation constants, (known in chemistry as a triprotic acid) allowing for formulation of buffers near each of the pH levels of 2.15, 6.86, or 12.32. Phosphate buffer is highly water soluble and has a high buffering capacity,

In this case the most efficient way is to disolve the dibasic compound which in the reaction with the water will form the monobasic phosphate.

To make the buffer you have to prepare the amount of distillate water needed, disolve the dibasic phospate, and then adjust with HCl or NaOH depending on the pH needed.

Complete combustion of 2.60 g of a hydrocarbon produced 8.46 g of co2 and 2.60 g of h2o. what is the empirical formula for the h
zubka84 [21]
1 mole of carbon dioxide contains a mass of 44 g, out of which 12 g are carbon. 
Hence, in this case the mass of carbon in 8.46 g of CO2:
 (12/44) × 8.46 = 2.3073 g
 1 mole of water contains 18 g, out of which 2 g is hydrogen;
Therefore, 2.6 g of water contains;
 (2/18) × 2.6 = 0.2889 g of hydrogen.
Therefore, with the amount of carbon and hydrogen from the hydrocarbon we can calculate the empirical formula.
We first calculate the number of moles of each,
Carbon = 2.3073/12  = 0.1923 moles
Hydrogen = 0.2889/1 = 0.2889 moles
Then, we calculate the ratio of Carbon to hydrogen by dividing with the smallest number value;
             Carbon : Hydrogen
  0.1923/0.1923 : 0.2889/0.1923
                       1 :  1.5
                      (1 : 1.5) 2
                     = 2 : 3
Hence, the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is C2H3

. Determine the standard free energy change, ɔ(G p for the formation of S2−(aq) given that the ɔ(G p for Ag+(aq) and Ag2S(s) are
olga nikolaevna [1]

<u>Answer:</u> The standard free energy change of formation of S^{2-}(aq.) is 92.094 kJ/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

K_{sp}\text{ of }Ag_2S=8\times 10^{-51}

Relation between standard Gibbs free energy and equilibrium constant follows:

\Delta G^o=-RT\ln K

where,

\Delta G^o = standard Gibbs free energy = ?

R = Gas constant = 8.314J/K mol

T = temperature = 25^oC=[273+25]K=298K

K = equilibrium constant or solubility product = 8\times 10^{-51}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta G^o=-(8.314J/K.mol)\times 298K\times \ln (8\times 10^{-51})\\\\\Delta G^o=285793.9J/mol=285.794kJ

For the given chemical equation:

Ag_2S(s)\rightleftharpoons 2Ag^+(aq.)+S^{2-}(aq.)

The equation used to calculate Gibbs free change is of a reaction is:  

\Delta G^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta G^o_f_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta G^o_f_{(reactant)}]

The equation for the Gibbs free energy change of the above reaction is:

\Delta G^o_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta G^o_f_{(Ag^+(aq.))})+(1\times \Delta G^o_f_{(S^{2-}(aq.))})]-[(1\times \Delta G^o_f_{(Ag_2S(s))})]

We are given:

\Delta G^o_f_{(Ag_2S(s))}=-39.5kJ/mol\\\Delta G^o_f_{(Ag^+(aq.))}=77.1kJ/mol\\\Delta G^o=285.794kJ

Putting values in above equation, we get:

285.794=[(2\times 77.1)+(1\times \Delta G^o_f_{(S^{2-}(aq.))})]-[(1\times (-39.5))]\\\\\Delta G^o_f_{(S^{2-}(aq.))=92.094J/mol

Hence, the standard free energy change of formation of S^{2-}(aq.) is 92.094 kJ/mol

Structures of compounds people use every day are shown. From which group of unsaturated hydrocarbons is each derived? 2 carbons
Savatey [412]

The group of unsaturated hydrocarbons which 2 carbons are double bonded together, with H bonded to the left, and C H 2 bonded below left, above right, and below right is derived from <u>Alkenes</u>

<h3>What are organic compounds?</h3>

Organic compounds are compounds which contains carbon and hydrogen

Some few classes or organic compounds or hydrocarbons are as follows:

  • Alkanes
  • Alkenes
  • Alkynes
  • Alkanols
  • Alkanoic acid
  • Ketones
  • Esters

So therefore, the group of unsaturated hydrocarbons which 2 carbons are double bonded together, with H bonded to the left, and C H 2 bonded below left, above right, and below right is derived from <u>Alkenes</u>
