Answer:

(a) adding 0.050 mol of HCl

Explanation:

A buffer is defined as the mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base -or vice versa-.

In the buffer:

1.0L × (0.10 mol / L) = 0.10 moles of HF -<em>Weak acid-</em>

1.0L × (0.050 mol / L) = 0.050 moles of NaF -<em>Conjugate base-</em>

-The weak acid reacts with bases as NaOH and the conjugate base reacts with acids as HCl-

Thus:

<em>(a) adding 0.050 mol of HCl:</em> The addition of 0.050moles of HCl produce the reaction of 0.050 moles of NaF producing HF. That means after the reaction, all NaF is consumed and you will have in solution just the weak acid <em>destroying the buffer</em>.

(b) adding 0.050 mol of NaOH: The NaOH reacts with HF producing more NaF. Would be consumed just 0.050 moles of HF -remaining 0.050 moles of HF-. Thus, the buffer <em>wouldn't be destroyed</em>.

(c) adding 0.050 mol of NaF: The addition of conjugate base <em>doesn't destroy the buffer</em>

Exactly 1.0 mol N2O4 is placed in an empty 1.0-L container and is allowed to reach equilibriumdescribed by the equation N2O4(g)↔
Vilka [71]

Answer : The correct option is, (C) 1.1

Solution :  Given,

Initial moles of N_2O_4 = 1.0 mole

Initial volume of solution = 1.0 L

First we have to calculate the concentration N_2O_4.

\text{Concentration of }N_2O_4=\frac{\text{Moles of }N_2O_4}{\text{Volume of solution}}

\text{Concentration of }N_2O_4=\frac{1.0moles}{1.0L}=1.0M

The given equilibrium reaction is,

                           N_2O_4(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO_2(g)

Initially                      c                 0

At equilibrium   (c-c\alpha)           2c\alpha

The expression of K_c will be,

K_c=\frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2O_4]}

K_c=\frac{(2c\alpha)^2}{(c-c\alpha)}

where,

\alpha = degree of dissociation = 40 % = 0.4

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

K_c=\frac{(2c\alpha)^2}{(c-c\alpha)}

K_c=\frac{(2\times 1\times 0.4)^2}{(1-1\times 0.4)}

K_c=1.066\aprrox 1.1

Therefore, the value of equilibrium constant for this reaction is, 1.1

12.5 mL of 0.280 M HNO3 and 5.0 mL of 0.920 M KOH are mixed. Is the resulting solution acidic, basic or neutral?
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The resulting solution is basic.

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

  • HNO₃ + KOH → KNO₃ + H₂O

First we <u>calculate the added moles of HNO₃ and KOH</u>:

  • HNO₃ ⇒ 12.5 mL * 0.280 M = 3.5 mmol HNO₃
  • KOH ⇒ 5.0 mL * 0.920 M = 4.6 mmol KOH

As <em>there are more KOH moles than HNO₃,</em> the resulting solution is basic.

If the percent yield for the following reaction is 75.0%, and 25.0 g of NO₂ are consumed in the reaction, how many grams of nitr
victus00 [196]

Answer:

17.1195 grams of nitric acid are produced.

Explanation:

3NO_2+H_2O\rightarrow 2HNO_3+NO

Moles of nitrogen dioxide :

\frac{25.0 g}{56 g/mol}=0.5434 mol

According to reaction 3 moles of nitrogen dioxides gives 2 moles of nitric acid.

Then 0.5434 moles of nitrogen dioxides will give:

\frac{2}{3}\times 0.5434 mol=0.3623 mol of nitric acid.

Mass of 0.3623 moles of nitric acid :

0.3623 mol\times 63 g/mol=22.8260 g

Theoretical yield = 22.8260 g

Experimental yield = ?

\%Yield=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{theoretical yield}}\times 100

75\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{22.8260 g}

Experimental yield of nitric acid = 17.1195 g
