Answer:

B. 0.174

Explanation:

A buffer is formed by a weak acid (CH₃COOH) and its conjugate base (CH₃COO⁻, coming from sodium acetate). We can calculate the pH of this buffer using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.

pH = pKa + log [CH₃COO⁻]/[CH₃COOH]

pH - pKa = log [CH₃COO⁻]/[CH₃COOH]

3.98 - (-log 1.80 × 10⁻⁵) = log [CH₃COO⁻]/[CH₃COOH]

-0.760 = log [CH₃COO⁻]/[CH₃COOH]

[CH₃COO⁻]/[CH₃COOH] = anti log (-0.760)

[CH₃COO⁻]/[CH₃COOH] = 0.174

O tetraclorometano é um solvente muito utilizado na indústria de transformaç?o de produtos orgânicos ele é produzido pela reaç?o
Vlada [557]

Answer:

ΔHr = -103,4 kcal/mol

Explanation:

<u>Using:</u>

<u>AH° (kcal/mol) </u>

<u>Metano (CH) </u>

<u>-17,9 </u>

<u>Cloro (CI) </u>

<u>tetraclorometano (CCI) </u>

<u>- 33,3 </u>

<u>Acido cloridrico (HCI) </u>

<u>-22</u>

It is possible to obtain the ΔH of a reaction from ΔH's of formation for each compound, thus:

ΔHr = (ΔH products - ΔH reactants)

For the reaction:

CH₄(g) + Cl₂(g) → CCl₄(g) + HCl(g)

The balanced reaction is:

CH₄(g) + 4Cl₂(g) → CCl₄(g) + 4HCl(g)

The ΔH's of formation for these compounds are:

ΔH CH₄(g): -17,9 kcal/mol

ΔH Cl₂(g): 0 kcal/mol

ΔH CCl₄(g): -33,3 kcal/mol

ΔH HCl(g): -22 kcal/mol

The ΔHr is:

-33,3 kcal/mol × 1 mol + -22 kcal/mol× 4 mol - (-17,9 kcal/mol × 1 mol + 0kcal/mol × 4mol)

<em>ΔHr = -103,4 kcal/mol</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
