Can Hydrocyanic acid be a Lewis Acid? What about a Lewis Base?

1 answer:

8 0

HCN is a Bronsted acid; it can dissociate into H+ and CN-. And H+ is a Lewis acid because it accepts election pairs. ... In order for H+ and CN- to be formed, Hydrogen in HCN donates its electrons to Carbon. So in this sense, Hydrogen is the lewis base and Carbon is the lewis acid.

How many grams of sodium acetate ( molar mass = 83.06 g/mol ) must be added to 1.00 Liter of a 0.200 M acetic acid solution to m

Pie

Answer: The mass of sodium acetate that must be added is 30.23 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Molarity of acetic acid solution = 0.200 M

Volume of solution = 1 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.200M=\frac{\text{Moles of acetic acid}}{1L}\\\\\text{Moles of acetic acid}=(0.200mol/L\times 1L)=0.200mol$

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

$pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{salt}]}{[\text{acid}]})$

$pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[CH_3COONa]}{[CH_3COOH]})$

We are given:

$pK_a$ = negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of acetic acid = 4.74

$[CH_3COONa]=?mol$

$[CH_3COOH]=0.200mol$

pH = 5.00

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$5=4.74+\log(\frac{[CH_3COONa]}{0.200})$

$[CH_3COONa]=0.364mol$

To calculate the mass of sodium acetate for given number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Molar mass of sodium acetate = 83.06 g/mol

Moles of sodium acetate = 0.364 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.364mol=\frac{\text{Mass of sodium acetate}}{83.06g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of sodium acetate}=(0.364mol\times 83.06g/mol)=30.23g$

Hence, the mass of sodium acetate that must be added is 30.23 grams

2. What is the molarity of 100 mL of a 3.0% H2O2 (mass/volume) solution? What is the molarity of 100 mL of a 2.25% H2O2 solution

KatRina [158]

The 3% mass/volume H₂O₂ means 3 g of H₂O₂ in 100 ml of water.

Now, Molarity (M) = No. of moles of H₂O₂ / Volume of solution in liter

No. of moles of H₂O₂ = Mass / Molar mass = 3 g / 34 g/mol = 0.088 mol

So, molarity = 0.088 × 1000 ml / 100 ml = 0.88 M

In case of 2.25 % H₂O₂,

No of moles = 2.25 g / 34 g/mol = 0.066 mol

Molarity = 0.066 mol / 0.100 L = 0.66 M.

Calculate the number of grams contained in each of the following number of moles. Report your answer with the appropriate number

Debora [2.8K]

Answers:

a. 131.85 grams

b. 134.69 grams

To calculate the number of grams in the number of moles given for each compound, consider the formula:

Moles = No. of grams / molar mass

Therefore, to find the gram it will become:

No. of grams = moles x molar mass

a. 0.410 mol of NaCl (sodium chloride)

Molar mass of NaCl = (286.14 + 35.45) = 321.59

No. of grams = moles x molar mass

No. of grams = 0.410 x 321.59 = 131.85 grams

b. 4.80 mol of C2H4 (ethylene)

Molar mass of C2H4 = (12.01 x 2) + (1.01 x 4) = 28.06

No. of grams = moles x molar mass

No. of grams = 4.80 x 28.06 = 134.69 grams
