Answer:

NH3(aq)

Explanation:

Gold III hydroxide is an inorganic compound also known as auric acid. It can be dehydrated at about 140°C to yield gold III oxide. Gold III hydroxide is found to form precipitates in alkaline solutions hence it is not soluble in calcium hydroxide.

However, gold III hydroxide forms an inorganic complex with ammonia which makes the insoluble gold III hydroxide to dissolve in ammonia solution. The equation of this complex formation is shown below;

Au(OH)3(s) + 4 NH3(aq) -------> [Au(NH3)4]^3+(aq) + 3OH^-(aq)

Hence the formation of a tetra amine complex of gold III will lead to the dissolution of gold III hydroxide solid in aqueous ammonia.

There are always attractive forces between a collection of atoms or molecules which may not be negligible as suggested by the ki
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Negligible

Explanation:

According to the kinetic theory of gases, the degree of intermolecular interaction between gases is minimal and gas molecules tend to spread out and fill up the volume of the container.

If the attraction between gas molecules increases, then the volume of the gas decreases accordingly. This is because, gas molecules become highly attracted to each other.

This intermolecular attractive force may be so strong, such that the actual volume of the gas become negligible compared to the volume of the container.

Calculate the number of atoms of sodium in a 4.5-gram sample
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

1.18×10²³ atoms.

Explanation:

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.

From the above concept, 1 mole of sodium also contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.

1 mole of sodium = 23 g.

Thus,

23 g of sodium contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.

Therefore, 4.5 g of sodium will contain = (4.5 × 6.02×10²³)/23 = 1.18×10²³ atoms.

From the above calculation,

4.5 g of sodium contains 1.18×10²³ atoms.

A buffer solution contains 0.345 M acetic acid and 0.377 M sodium acetate . If 0.0613 moles of potassium hydroxide are added to
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

pH = 5.54

Explanation:

The pH of a buffer solution is given by the <em>Henderson-Hasselbach (H-H) equation</em>:

  • pH = pKa + log\frac{[CH_3COO^-]}{[CH_3COOH]}

For acetic acid, pKa = 4.75.

We <u>calculate the original number of moles for acetic acid and acetate</u>, using the <em>given concentrations and volume</em>:

  • CH₃COO⁻ ⇒ 0.377 M * 0.250 L = 0.0942 mol CH₃COO⁻
  • CH₃COOH ⇒ 0.345 M * 0.250 L = 0.0862 mol CH₃COOH

The number of CH₃COO⁻ moles will increase with the added moles of KOH while the number of CH₃COOH moles will decrease by the same amount.

Now we use the H-H equation to <u>calculate the new pH</u>, by using the <em>new concentrations</em>:

  • pH = 4.75 + log\frac{(0.0942+0.0613)mol/0.250L}{(0.0862-0.0613)mol/0.250L} = 5.54

A 200.0 mL solution of 0.40 M ammonium chloride was titrated with 0.80 M sodium hydroxide. What was the pH of the solution after
choli [55]

Answer:

9.25

Explanation:

Let first find the moles of NH_4Cl and NaOH

number of moles of NH_4Cl = 0.40  mol/L × 200 ×  10⁻³L

= 0.08 mole

number of moles of NaOH = 0.80  mol/L × 50 ×  10⁻³L

= 0.04 mole

The equation for the reaction is expressed as:

NH^+_{4(aq)} \ + OH^-_{(aq)} ------> NH_{3(g)} \ + H_2O_{(l)}

The ICE Table is shown below as follows:

                            NH^+_{4(aq)} \ + OH^-_{(aq)} ------> NH_{3(g)} \ + H_2O_{(l)}

Initial (M)              0.08            0.04                            0

Change (M)         - 0.04          -0.04                          + 0.04

Equilibrium (M)      0.04             0                                0.04

K_a*K_b = 10^{-14} \ at \ 25^0C

K_a = \frac{10^{-14}}{K_b}

K_a = \frac{10^{-14}}{1.76*10^{-5}}

K_a= 5.68*10^{10}

pK_a = - log \ (K_a)

pK_a = - log \ (5.68*10^{-10})

pK_a = 9.25

pH = pKa + \ log (\frac{HB}{HA} )   for buffer solutions

pH = pKa + \ log (\frac{moles \ of \ base }{ moles\ of \ acid} ) since they are in the same solution

pH = 9.25 + \ log (\frac{0.04 }{ 0.04} )

pH = 9.25
