A chemistry graduate student is given 125.mL of a 1.00M benzoic acid HC6H5CO2 solution. Benzoic acid is a weak acid with =Ka×6.3

10−5. What mass of KC6H5CO2 should the student dissolve in the HC6H5CO2 solution to turn it into a buffer with pH =4.63?

Answer:

53.9 g

Explanation:

When talking about buffers is very common the problem involves the use of the Henderson Hasselbach formula:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻]/[HA]

where  [A⁻] is the concentration of the conjugate base of the weak acid HA, and [HA] is the concentration of the weak acid.

We can calculate pKₐ from the given kₐ ( pKₐ = - log Kₐ ), and from there obtain the ratio  [A⁻]/HA].

Since we know the concentration of HC6H5CO2 and the volume of solution, the moles and mass of KC6H5CO2  can be determined.

So,

4.63 = - log ( 6.3 x 10⁻⁵ ) + log [A⁻]/[HA] = - (-4.20 ) + log [A⁻]/[HA]

⇒ log [A⁻]/[HA]  = 4.63 - 4.20 =  log [A⁻]/[HA]

0.43 = log [A⁻]/[HA]

taking antilogs to both sides of this equation:

10^0.43 =  [A⁻]/[HA] = 2.69

 [A⁻]/ 1.00 M = 2.69 ⇒ [A⁻] = 2.69 M

Molarity is moles per liter of solution, so we can calculate how many moles of  C6H5CO2⁻ the student needs to dissolve  in 125. mL ( 0.125 L ) of a 2.69 M solution:

( 2.69 mol C6H5CO2⁻ / 1L ) x 0.125 L  = 0.34 mol C6H5CO2⁻

The mass will be obtained by multiplying 0.34 mol times molecular weight for KC6H5CO2 ( 160.21 g/mol ):

0.34 mol x 160.21 g/mol = 53.9 g

Thermal energy added to a substance that is not changing state causes the substance’s temperature to
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

increase

Explanation:

Conduction involves the transfer of electric charge or thermal energy due to the movement of particles. When the conduction relates to electric charge, it is known as electrical conduction while when it relates to thermal energy, it is known as heat conduction. Conductors include metal, steel, aluminum, copper, frying pan, pot, spoon etc.

In the process of heat conduction, thermal energy is usually transferred from fast moving particles to slow moving particles during the collision of these particles. Also, thermal energy is typically transferred between objects that has different degrees of temperature and materials (particles) that are directly in contact with each other but differ in their ability to accept or give up electrons.

Hence, thermal energy added to a substance that is not changing state causes the substance’s temperature to increase because it would absorb energy in the form of heat.

How many unpaired electrons are in the c 2 + ​ ion?
sladkih [1.3K]
Atomic number of C is 6. Hence, there are 6 electrons in carbon.

The electronic configuration of carbon is 1s2, 2s2, 2p2

Here, there are 2 unpaired electron. However, C2+ ions have 2 electrons less as compared to C.

Hence, electronic configuration of C 2+ ion is 1s2, 2s2. All the electrons are paired in this system. So there are no unpaired electrons in C 2+ ion.
