Answer:

5.90

Explanation:

Initial moles of CH3COO- = 10.0/1000 x 0.75 = 0.0075 mol

Moles of HCl added = 5.0/1000 x 0.10 = 0.0005 mol

CH3COO- + HCl => CH3COOH + Cl-

Moles of CH3COO- left = 0.0075 - 0.0005 = 0.007 mol

Moles of CH3COOH formed = moles of HCl added = 0.0005 mol

pH = pKa + log([CH3COO-]/[CH3COOH])

= -log Ka + log(moles of CH3COO-/moles of CH3COOH)

= -log(1.78 x 10^(-5)) + log(0.007/0.0005)

= 5.90

Answer:

The correct answer is 5.895.

Explanation:

The reaction will be,

CHCOO⁻ + H+ ⇔ CH₃COOH

Both the HCl and the acetate are having one n factor.

The millimoles of CH₃COO⁻ is,

= Volume in ml × molarity = 10 × 0.75 = 7.5

The millimoles of HCl = Volume in ml × molarity = 5 × 0.1 = 0.5

Therefore, 0.5 will be the millimoles of CH₃COOH formed, now the millimoles of the CH₃COO⁻ left will be, 7.5-0.5 = 7.0

The volume of the solution is, 10+5 = 15 ml

The molarity of CH₃COO⁻ is, millimoles / volume in ml = 7/15

The molarity of CH₃COOH is 0.5/15

pH = pKa + log[CH₃COO⁻]/[CH₃COOH]

= 4.74957 + 1.146

= 5.895

A container is filled with hydrogen gas. It has a volume of 4 liters and a pressure of 2 atm. If the pressure of the container i

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

1.33 L.

Explanation:

We can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

If n and T are constant, and have different values of P and V:

(P₁V₁) = (P₂V₂)

Knowing that:

V₁ = 4.0 L, P₁ = 2.0 atm,

V₂ = ??? L, P₂ = 6.0 atm.

Applying in the above equation

(P ₁V₁) = (P₂V₂)

∴ V₂ = P ₁V₁/P₂ = (2.0 atm)(4.0 L)/(6.0 atm) = 1.33 L.

Indicate the number of significant figures in the measured number 0.0020 A. 4 B. 5 C. 2

Sergio [31]

Answer:

The correct answer option is C. 2.

Explanation:

We are given the number '0.0020' and we are to indicate the number of significant figures in the given measured number.

According to the rules of significant figures, numbers that are non-zero, zeros between any two significant numbers and the ending zeros in the decimal position are categorized as significant figures.

Since there is one non-zero number and one ending zero in the decimal position, therefore 0.0020 has 2 significant figures.

The pH at the equivalence point will be a. less than 7.00 b. equal to 7.00 Allohalineup of a sto quivalence point of a titration

True [87]

Answer: c. greater than 7.00

Explanation: The equivalence point of a titration is when all the base is consumed by the acid. When a strong base and a strong acid react, the medium is neutralized because is produced water and salt (which won't suffer hydrolysis). How water's pH is 7, in this type of titration the pH of the equivalence point will be at pH=7. But on titration of a weak acid with a strong base, the reaction of the equivalence point produces water and the conjugate base of the acid. Because the acid is weak, their conjugate base will be strong and will suffer hydrolysis, producing hydroxyl ions, elevating the pH of the water and making it greater than 7.
