Ammonia is a weak base and establishes the following equilibrium in water: NH3(aq) + H2O(l) ---> NH4+ (aq) + OH-(aq). In Part

III, the phenolphthalein indicator is used to monitor the equilibrium shifts of the ammonia/ammonium ion system. The phenolphthalein equilibrium established with water is Hph(aq)(colorless) + H2O(l) --> H3O+ (aq) + ph-(aq)(pink or red). You compared the color of the solutions in three test tubes that initially contained 3 mL of 0.1 M ammonium hydroxide and a few drops of phenolphthalein indicator. In a second test tube, you added 6 M NH4OH dropwise. Explain, in terms of the ammonia/ammonium ion equilibrium, why the phenolphthalein equilibrium shifted to the right.

Answer:

Explanation:

phenolphthalein indicator is an acid - alkaline organic dye that changes color over a particular pH range depending on the medium. As such , asides phenolphthalein, methyl orange, Alzarian yellow are other indicators that are used during avid - base titration experiment.

In this case, phenolphthalein in an acidic medium is colorless while in basic medium is pink. Also phenolphthalein been a weak acid reacting with the hydroxide thereby reducing the concentration, this will have an effect on the equilibrium position by favoring the forward reaction i.e product formation. hence more products will be formed.

In the case of ammonium chloride, the addition of more ammonium ions results in an increase in the concentration of the products and as such, if more ammonium ions are removed, the equilibrium position will shift to favor the backward reaction i.e reactant formation.

What are some chemical/physical properties that make calcium hazardous or useful? 50 points for this
Talja [164]
"Calcium's chemical properties are attributed to its location in group 2 of the periodic table. As an alkaline earth metal, it is a good reducing agent for preparing other metals, such as uranium and thorium. It reacts violently when placed in water, forming calcium hydroxide, more commonly known as lime. This is the reason why water that is high in calcium causes lime buildup on the interior of pipes. Calcium also reacts rapidly when exposed to air. It develops an oxide coating, which prevents the mass of calcium from corroding. If exposed to air at a high temperature, calcium burns to produce nitride. The most common calcium isotope is Calcium-40. It has an ionic radius of 0.099 nm, a standard potential of -2.87 volts and an ionization energy of 589.6 kJ per mole. Calcium compounds are important in a number of industries. Calcium oxide, for example, is used in high intensity lights. Calcium hydroxide is useful for breaking down wood and rocks".

"The calcium oxide, Ca(OH)2, has many applications in which the hydroxyl ion is necessary. In the process of calcium hydroxide quenching, the volume of blown out lime [Ca(OH)2] expends to double the initial quantity of quick lime (CaO), fact that makes it useful to break down rocks or wood".

"The quick lime is an excellent absorbent for the carbon dioxide, because it produces carbonate, which is very insoluble".

"The calcium silicate, CaSi, prepared in an electric oven from lime, silica and reducing carbonated agents, is useful as a steel-deoxidizing agent. Calcium carbide, CaC2, is produces when heating up a mixture of lime and carbon at 3000ºC in an electric oven and it is an acetylate which produces acetylene by hydrolysis. The acetylene is the base material of a great number of important chemicals for the organic industrial chemistry".

"The pure calcium carbonate occurs in two crystalline forms: calcite, hexagonal shaped, which possesses birrefringent properties, and aragonite, rhombohedric. The natural carbonates are the most abundant calcium minerals. The Iceland spar and the calcite are essentially pure carbonate forms, whilst the marble is impure and much more compact, reason why it can be polished. It’s very demanded as construction material. Although the calcium carbonate is very little soluble in water, it is quite soluble if the water contains dissolved carbon dioxide, for in these solutions it forms bicarbonate when dissolving. This fact explains the cave formation, where the lime stone deposits have been in contact with acid waters".

What is the ph of a solution containing 0.01 m acetic acid (pka = 4.7) and 0.1 m sodium acetate?
Pepsi [2]

The ph of a solution is 3.7

Solution:

According to the equaiton of Henderson-Hasselback

      pH= pKa+ log(salt/acid)

here it is given the value of

      pKa= 4.7

So,

      pH = pKa+ log(0.1/0.01)

            = 4.7 + log(0.1)

            = 4.7–1

            = 3.7.

The following problem illustrates how the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation can be used to determine how much acid and conjugate base should be combined to create a buffer solution with a specific pH.

If a temperature increase from 10.0 ∘C to 21.0 ∘C doubles the rate constant for a reaction, what is the value of the activation
Ann [662]
According to this formula:
㏑(K2/K1) = Ea/R(1/T1 - 1/T2)
when K is the rate constant
Ea is the activation energy
R is the universal gas constant
and T is the temperature K
when K is doubled so K2: K1 = 2:1 & R = 8.314 J.K^-1.mol^-1 
and T1 = 10 +273 = 283 k & T2 = 21 + 273 = 294 k
So by substitution:
㏑2 =( Ea / 8.314) (1/283 - 1/294 )
∴ Ea = 43588.9 J/mol = 43.6 KJ/mol
