Answer:

The final volume of air after compression: V₂ = 4477.63 L = 158.12 cf

Explanation:

Given: Initial gauge pressure of the gas = 0 psi

Initial absolute pressure of the gas: P₁ = gauge pressure + atmospheric pressure = 0 psi + 12.20 psi = 12.20 psi

Initial Temperature = 70°F

⇒ T₁ = (70°F − 32) × 5/9 + 273.15 = 294.26 K

Initial volume of the gas: V₁ = 1200 cf = 1200 × 28.317 = 33980.4 L (∵ 1 cf ≈ 28.317 L)

Final gauge pressure of the gas = 90 psi

Final absolute pressure of the gas: P₂ = gauge pressure + atmospheric pressure = 90 psi + 12.20 psi = 102.2 psi

Final Temperature: T₂ = 125°F

⇒ T₂ = (125°F − 32) × 5/9 + 273.15 = 324.82 K

Final volume of the gas: V₂ = ? L

<u>According to the </u><u>Combined gas law</u><u>:</u>

$\frac{P_{1}\times V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}\times V_{2}}{T_{2}}$

→ $V_{2} = \frac{P_{1}\times V_{1}\times T_{2}}{T_{1}\times P_{2}}$

→ $V_{2} = \frac{12.20 psi\times 33980.4 L\times 324.82 K}{294.26 K\times 102.2 psi}$

→ $V_{2} = 4477.63 L = 158.12 cf$

<u>Therefore, the final volume of air after compression: </u><u>V₂ = 4477.63 L = 158.12 cf</u>

When the reactive alkali metal sodium is reacted with poisonous chlorine gas, sodium chloride or table salt is produced. Is mass

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Yes, Mass is conserved.

Explanation:

Every chemical reactions obey the law of conservation of mass. The law of conservation of mass states that in chemical reactions, mass is always constant.

Equation:

2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl

From the equation above, one can observe that the reaction started using 2 atoms of Na and it produced 2 atoms of the same element in NaCl. A molecule of Cl produced 2 atoms of Cl in the NaCl

Design a simple experiment to support your answer:

Aim: To demonstrate the law of conservation of mass

One Na atom weighs 23g

Two Na atom will weigh 2 x 23 = 46g

1 atom of Cl is 35.5g

1 molecule of Cl containing two atoms of Cl will weigh 2 x 35.5 = 71g

Total mass of reactants = mass of 2Na + 1Cl₂ = (46 + 71)g = 117g

On the product side, Mass of 1 NaCl = 23+ 35.5 = 58.5g

Two moles of NaCl will give 2 x 58.5g = 117g

Since the mass on both side is the same, one can say mass is conserved.

Benzoic acid is a natural fungicide that naturally occurs in many fruits and berries. The sodium salt of benzoic acid, sodium be

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

a. pH = 2.52

b. pH = 8.67

c. pH = 12.83

Explanation:

The equation of the titration between the benzoic acid and NaOH is:

C₆H₅CO₂H + OH⁻ ⇄ C₆H₅CO₂⁻ + H₂O (1)

a. To find the pH after the addition of 20.0 mL of NaOH we need to find the number of moles of C₆H₅CO₂H and NaOH:

$\eta_{NaOH} = C*V = 0.250 M*0.020 L = 5.00 \cdot 10^{-3} moles$

$\eta_{C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}H}i = C*V = 0.300 M*0.050 L = 0.015 moles$

From the reaction between the benzoic acid and NaOH we have the following number of moles of benzoic acid remaining:

$\eta_{C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}H} = \eta_{C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}H}i - \eta_{NaOH} = 0.015 moles - 5.00 \cdot 10^{-3} moles = 0.01 moles$

The concentration of benzoic acid is:

$C = \frac{\eta}{V} = \frac{0.01 moles}{(0.020 + 0.050) L} = 0.14 M$

Now, from the dissociation equilibrium of benzoic acid we have:

C₆H₅CO₂H + H₂O ⇄ C₆H₅CO₂⁻ + H₃O⁺

0.14 - x x x

$Ka = \frac{[C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}^{-}][H_{3}O^{+}]}{[C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}H]}$

$Ka = \frac{x*x}{0.14 - x}$

$6.5 \cdot 10^{-5}*(0.14 - x) - x^{2} = 0$ (2)

By solving equation (2) for x we have:

x = 0.0030 = [C₆H₅CO₂⁻] = [H₃O⁺]

Finally, the pH is:

$pH = -log([H_{3}O^{+}]) = -log (0.0030) = 2.52$

b. At the equivalence point, the benzoic acid has been converted to its conjugate base for the reaction with NaOH so, the equilibrium equation is:

C₆H₅CO₂⁻ + H₂O ⇄ C₆H₅CO₂H + OH⁻ (3)

The number of moles of C₆H₅CO₂⁻ is:

$\eta_{C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}^{-}} = \eta_{C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}H}i = 0.015 moles$

The volume of NaOH added is:

$V = \frac{\eta}{C} = \frac{0.015 moles}{0.250 M} = 0.060 L$

The concentration of C₆H₅CO₂⁻ is:

$C = \frac{\eta}{V} = \frac{0.015 moles}{(0.060 L + 0.050 L)} = 0.14 M$

From the equilibrium of equation (3) we have:

C₆H₅CO₂⁻ + H₂O ⇄ C₆H₅CO₂H + OH⁻

0.14 - x x x

$Kb = \frac{[C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}H][OH^{-}]}{[C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}^{-}]}$

$(\frac{Kw}{Ka})*(0.14 - x) - x^{2} = 0$

$(\frac{1.00 \cdot 10^{-14}}{6.5 \cdot 10^{-5}})*(0.14 - x) - x^{2} = 0$

By solving the equation above for x, we have:

x = 4.64x10⁻⁶ = [C₆H₅CO₂H] = [OH⁻]

The pH is:

$pOH = -log[OH^{-}] = -log(4.64 \cdot 10^{-6}) = 5.33$

$pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 5.33 = 8.67$

c. To find the pH after the addition of 100 mL of NaOH we need to find the number of moles of NaOH:

$\eta_{NaOH}i = C*V = 0.250 M*0.100 L = 0.025 moles$

From the reaction between the benzoic acid and NaOH we have the following number of moles remaining:

$\eta_{NaOH} = \eta_{NaOH}i - \eta_{C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}H} = 0.025 moles - 0.015 moles = 0.010 moles$

The concentration of NaOH is:

$C = \frac{\eta}{V} = \frac{0.010 moles}{0.100 L + 0.050 L} = 0.067 M$

Therefore, the pH is given by this excess of NaOH:

$pOH = -log([OH^{-}]) = -log(0.067) = 1.17$

$pH = 14 - pOH = 12.83$
