Given buffer:

potassium hydrogen tartrate/dipotassium tartrate (KHC4H4O6/K2C4H4O6 )

[KHC4H4O6] = 0.0451 M

[K2C4H4O6] = 0.028 M

Ka1 = 9.2 *10^-4

Ka2 = 4.31*10^-5

Based on Henderson-Hasselbalch equation;

pH = pKa + log [conjugate base]/[acid]

where pka = -logKa

In this case we will use the ka corresponding to the deprotonation of the second proton i.e. ka2

pH = -log Ka2 + log [K2C4H4O6]/[KHC4H4O6]

     = -log (4.31*10^-5) + log [0.0451]/[0.028]

pH = 4.15

Why does each chemical reaction have many possible balanced equations? Of all possible balanced equations, which is preferred?
11111nata11111 [884]
Each chemical reaction, you may say that there are many possible balanced reactions since the coefficients of the reactants and of the products can be another set of numbers as long as the ratios of the compounds would be the same. The most preferred balanced reaction would be the reaction which have the lowest value of coefficients. Example would be the reaction of HCl and NaOH.

HCl + NaOH = NaCl + H2O (This would be the most preferred one since the coefficients are in the lowest value)
Other equivalents would be:

2HCl + 2NaOH = 2NaCl + 2H2O

3HCl + 3NaOH = 3NaCl + 3H2O

4HCl + 4NaOH = 4NaCl + 4H2O

A chemist is making 200 l of a solution that is 62% acid. he is mixing an 80% acid solution with a 30% acid solution. how much o
Savatey [412]
Answer: 72L of 30% and 128L of 80%

You can determine the weight of the acid by multiplying the concentration with the volume. Let say v1 is the volume of 30% solution needed and v2 is the volume of 80% solution.
The weight of acid from the used solution should be equal to the product. You can get this equation
final solution= solution1 + solution2
200l * 62%= v1 * 30% + v2*80%
124L= 0.3v1 + 0.8v2
124L- 0.3v1= 0.8v2
v2=155L- 0.375v1

The total volume of both should be 200l. If you use the previous equation, you can calculate:
v1+v2=200L
v1+ (155L- 0.375v1)= 200L
0.625v1= 200L - 155L
v1= 45/ 0.625= 72L


v1+v2=200L
v2= 200L- 72L= 128L
