Answer:
pH = 12.33
Explanation:
Lets call HA = butanoic acid and A⁻ butanoic acid and its conjugate base butanoate respectively.
The titration reaction is
HA + KOH ---------------------------- A⁻ + H₂O + K⁺
number of moles of HA : 118.3 ml/1000ml/L x 0.3500 mol/L = 0.041 mol HA
number of moles of OH : 115.4 mL/1000ml/L x 0.400 mol/L = 0.046 mol A⁻
therefore the weak acid will be completely consumed and what we have is the unreacted strong base KOH which will drive the pH of the solution since the contribution of the conjugate base is negligible.
n unreacted KOH = 0.046 - 0.041 = 0.005 mol KOH
pOH = - log (KOH)
M KOH = 0.005 mol / (0.118.3 +0.1154)L = 0.0021 M
pOH = - log (0.0021) = 1.66
pH = 14 - 1.96 = 12.33
Note: It is a mistake to ask for the pH of the <u>acid solutio</u>n since as the above calculation shows we have a basic solution the moment all the acid has been consumed.
Answer: A. Internal energy : May be viewed as the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of the molecules
B. Latent heat: The internal energy associated with the phase of a system.
C. Chemical (bond) energy : The internal energy associated with the atomic bonds in a molecule
D. Nuclear energy : The internal energy associated with the bonds within the nucleus of the atom itself
Explanation:
Internal energy is defined as the total energy of a closed system. Internal energy is the sum of potential energy of the system and the kinetic energy of the system. It is represented by symbol U.
Latent heat is the thermal energy released or absorbed by a thermodynamic system when the temperature of the system does not change. It is thus also called as hidden heat.
Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of molecules.
Nuclear energy is the energy which is stored in the nucleus of an atom called as binding energy within protons and neutrons.
