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

The equation for the combustion of CH4 (the main component of natural gas) is
Lera25 [3.4K]

Heat produced =  -13588.956 kJ

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The reaction of combustion of Methane

CH4(g)+2O2(g)→CO2(g)+2H2O(g) ΔH∘rxn=−802.3kJ

271 g of CH4

Required

Heat produced

Solution

mol of 271 g CH₄ (MW=16 g/mol0

mol = mass : MW

mol = 271 : 16

mol = 16.9375

So Heat produced :

= mol x ΔH°rxn

= 16.9375 mol x −802.3kJ/mol = -13588.956 kJ

2. Addiction - Video games are addictive which can lead to depression or bring about mental health disorder.

3. Wrong values - Some video games instill wrong values in children. Such values include violence, aggression and vengeance.  

4. Negative academic achievement - Students who play video games a lot tend to have a negative academic achievement as the time they could have used in reading or studying is used for playing games and thus tends to have an effect on the performance in school.

5. Health hazards- Video games may lead to health hazards- such as nerve compression, obesity, and video-induced seizures.

The positive effect of video games are:

1. Problem solving - Video games train ones brain to be creative and also come up with solution to challenges.

2. Quick thinking - Video games help one to think quickly in order to solve challenges and overcome obstacles.

3. Create positive emotions - Easy games can bring about positive emotions and uplift ones mood, and help in promoting relaxation.

4. Stimulate learning - Playing video games can help an individual to learn new skills.
