Calculate to three significant digits the density of dinitrogen monoxide gas at exactly and exactly . You can assume dinitrogen

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

see explanation below

Explanation:

You miss the part of the temperature and pressure. According to what I found this is held under 30 °C (or 303 K) and 1 atm.

The problem states that we can treat this gas as an ideal gas, therefore, we can use the equation of an ideal gas which is:

PV = nRT (1)

Now, the density (d) is calculated as:

d = m/V (2)

We can rewrite (2) in function of mass of volume so:

m = d*V (3)

Now, the moles (n) of (1) can be calculated like this:

n = m /MM (4)

If we replace it in (1) and then, (3) into this we have the following:

PV = mRT/MM ----> replacing (3):

PV = dVRT/MM ----> V cancels out so finallly:

P = dRT/MM

d = P * MM / RT (5)

The molar mass of N2O is 44 g/mol So, replacing all the data we have:

d = 1 * 44 / 0.082 * 303

d = 1.77 g/L

A chemist titrates 190.0 mL of a 0.8125 M ammonia (NH) solution with 0.3733 M HCl solution at 25 °C. Calculate the pH at equival

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Approximately $4.92$ .

Explanation:

Initial volume of the solution: $V = 190.0\; \rm mL = 0.1900\; \rm L$ .

Initial quantity of $\rm NH_3$ :

$\begin{aligned} n({\rm NH_3}) &= c({\rm NH_3}) \cdot V({\rm NH_3}) \\ &= 0.3733\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} \times 0.1900\; \rm L \\ &\approx 0.154375\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

Ammonia $\rm NH_3$ reacts with hydrochloric $\rm HCl$ acid at a one-to-one ratio:

$\rm NH_3 + HCl \to NH_4 Cl$ .

Hence, approximately $n({\rm HCl}) = 0.154375\; \rm mol$ of $\rm HCl\!$ molecules would be required to exactly react with the $\rm NH_3\!$ in the original solution and hence reach the equivalence point of this titration.

Calculate the volume of that $0.3733\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}$ $\rm HCl$ solution required for reaching the equivalence point of this titration:

$\begin{aligned}V({\rm HCl}) &= \frac{n({\rm HCl})}{c({\rm HCl})} \\ &\approx \frac{0.154375\; \rm mol}{0.3733\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}} \approx 0.413541\; \rm L\end{aligned}$ .

Hence, by the assumption stated in the question, the volume of the solution at the equivalence point would be approximately $0.413541\; \rm L + 0.1900\; \rm L \approx 0.6035\; \rm L$ .

If no hydrolysis took place, $0.154375\; \rm mol$ of $\rm NH_4 Cl$ would be produced. Because $\rm NH_4 Cl\!$ is a soluble salt, the solution would contain $0.154375\; \rm mol\!$ of $\rm {NH_4}^{+}$ ions. The concentration of $\rm {NH_4}^{+}\!$ would be approximately:

$\begin{aligned}c({\rm {NH_4}^{+}}) &= \frac{n({\rm {NH_4}^{+}})}{V({\rm {NH_4}^{+}})}\\ &\approx \frac{0.154375\; \rm mol}{0.6035\; \rm L} \approx 0.255782\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

However, because $\rm NH_3 \cdot H_2O$ is a weak base, its conjugate $\rm {NH_4}^{+}$ would be a weak base.

$\begin{aligned}pK_{\rm a}({{\rm NH_4}}^{+}) &= pK_{\rm w} - pK_{\rm b}({\rm NH_3})\\ &\approx 13.99 - 4.75 = 9.25\end{aligned}$ .

Hence, the following reversible reaction would be take place in the solution at the equivalence point:

$\rm {NH_4}^{+} \rightleftharpoons NH_3 + H^{+}$ .

Let $x\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}$ be the increase in the concentration of $\rm H^{+}$ in this solution because of this reversible reaction. (Notice that $x \ge 0$ .) Construct the following $\text{RICE}$ table:

$\begin{array}{c|ccccc} \textbf{R}& \rm {\rm NH_4}^{+} & \rightleftharpoons & {\rm NH_3}& + & {\rm H}^{+}\\ \textbf{I} & 0.255782 \; \rm M \\ \textbf{C} & -x \;\rm M & & + x\;\rm M & & + x\; \rm M \\ \textbf{E} & (0.255782 - x)\; \rm M & & x\; \rm M & & x\; \rm M\end{array}$ .

Thus, at equilibrium:

Concentration of the weak acid: $[{\rm {NH_4}^{+}}] \approx (0.255782 - x) \; \rm M$ .
Concentration of the conjugate of the weak acid: $[{\rm NH_3}] = x\; \rm M$ .
Concentration of $\rm H^{+}$ : $[{\rm {H}^{+}}] \approx x\; \rm M$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{[{\rm NH_3}] \cdot [{\rm H^{+}}]}{[{ \rm {NH_4}^{+}}]} = 10^{pK_\text{a}({\rm {NH_4}^{+}})}$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{x^2}{0.255782 - x} \approx 10^{-9.25}$

Solve for $x$ . (Notice that the value of $x\!$ is likely to be much smaller than $0.255782$ . Hence, the denominator on the left-hand side $(0.255782 - x) \approx 0.255782$ .)

$x \approx 1.19929 \times 10^{-5}$ .

Hence, the concentration of $\rm H^{+}$ at the equivalence point of this titration would be approximately $1.19929 \times 10^{-5}\; \rm M$ .

Hence, the $pH$ at the equivalence point of this titration would be:

$\begin{aligned}pH &= -\log_{10}[{\rm {H}^{+}}] \\ &\approx -\log_{10} \left(1.19929 \times 10^{-5}\right) \approx 4.92\end{aligned}$ .

1. Calculate the concentration of hydronium ion of both buffer solutions at their starting pHs. Calculate the moles of hydronium

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, here's the complete question:

1. Calculate the concentration of hydronium ion of both buffer solutions at their starting pHs. Calculate the moles of hydronium ion present in 20.0 mL of each buffer.

Buffer A

Mass of sodium acetate used: 0.3730 g

Actual ph of the buffer 5.27

volume of the buffer used in buffer capacity titration 20.0 mL

Concentration of standardized NaOH 0.100M

moles of Naoh needed to change the ph by 1 unit for the buffer 0.00095mol

the buffer capacity 0.0475 M

Buffer B

Mass of sodium acetate used 1.12 g

Actual pH of the buffer 5.34

Volume of the buffer used in buffer capacity titration 20.0 mL

Concentration if standardized NaOH 0.100 M

moles of Naoh needed to change the ph by 1 unit 0.0019 mol

the buffer capacity 0.095 M

2.) A change of pH by 1 unit means a change in hydronium ion concentration by a factor of 10. Calculate the number of moles of NaOH that would theoretically be needed to decrease the moles of hydronium you calculated in #1 by a factor of 10 for each buffer. Are there any differences between your experimental results and the theoretical calculation?

3.) which buffer had a higher buffer capacity? Why?

Explanation:

Formula,

moles = grams/molar mass

molarity = moles/L of solution

1. Buffer A

molarity of NaC2H3O2 = 0.3731 g/82.03 g/mol x 0.02 L = 0.23 M

molarity of HC2H3O2 = 0. 1 M

Initial pH

pH = pKa + log(base/acid)

= 4.74 + log(0.23/0.1)

= 5.10

pH = -log[H3O+]

[H3O+] = 7.91 x 10^-6 M

In 20 ml buffer,

moles of H3O+ = 7.91 x 10^-6 M x 0.02 L

= 1.58 x 10^-7 mol

Buffer B

molarity of NaC2H3O2 = 1.12 g/82.03 g/mol x 0.02 L = 0.68 M

molarity of HC2H3O2 = 0.3 M

Initial pH

pH = pKa + log(base/acid)

= 4.74 + log(0.68/0.3)

= 5.10

pH = -log[H3O+]

[H3O+] = 7.91 x 10^-6 M

In 20 ml buffer,

moles of H3O+ = 7.91 x 10^-6 M x 0.02 L

= 1.58 x 10^-7 mol

2. let x moles of NaOH is added,

Buffer A,

pH = 5.10

[H3O+] = 7.91 x 10^-6 M

new pH = 4.10

new [H3O+] = 7.91 x 10^-5 M

moles of NaOH to be added = (7.91 x 10^-5 - 7.91 x 10^-6) x 0.02 L

= 1.42 x 10^-6 mol

3. Buffer B with greater concentration of NaC2H3O2 and HC2H3O2 has higher buffer capacity as it resists pH change to a wider range due to addition of acid or base to the system as compared to low concentration of Buffer A

In the following pair, determine whether the two represent resonance contributors of a single species or depict different substa

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

They are resonance contributors

Explanation:

Resonance structures are structures that differ only in the distribution or placement of electrons.

Considering the two structures, we can easily see that the two species have the same total number of bonds and electrons differing only in the distribution of these electrons.

Hence, they are resonance contributors.

What is the measurement 1043. L rounded off to two significant figures?

Sloan [31]

Answer:

1000L

Explanation:

the 1 is a sig fig and since the 0 is between the 1 and 4 its also a significant number. to round them off you look at the 0,then look back at the 4 since its less than 5 u round down. then u replace the 43 with 0's
