Describe the saponification process

1 answer:

4 0

Soaps are sodium or potassium salts of long chain fatty acids. When triglycerides in fat/oil react with aqueous NaOH or KOH, they are converted into soap and glycerol. This is called alkaline hydrolysis of esters. Since this reaction leads to the formation of soap, it is called the Saponification Process.

A chemist titrates 160.0mL of a 0.3403M aniline C6H5NH2 solution with 0.0501M HNO3 solution at 25°C . Calculate the pH at equiva

maxonik [38]

Answer : The pH of the solution is, 5.24

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the volume of $HNO_3$

Formula used :

$M_1V_1=M_2V_2$

where,

$M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the initial molarity and volume of $C_6H_5NH_2$ .

$M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the final molarity and volume of $HNO_3$ .

We are given:

$M_1=0.3403M\\V_1=160.0mL\\M_2=0.0501M\\V_2=?$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.3403M\times 160.0mL=0.0501M\times V_2\\\\V_2=1086.79mL$

Now we have to calculate the total volume of solution.

Total volume of solution = Volume of $C_6H_5NH_2$ + Volume of $HNO_3$

Total volume of solution = 160.0 mL + 1086.79 mL

Total volume of solution = 1246.79 mL

Now we have to calculate the Concentration of salt.

$\text{Concentration of salt}=\frac{0.3403M}{1246.79mL}\times 160.0mL=0.0437M$

Now we have to calculate the pH of the solution.

At equivalence point,

$pOH=\frac{1}{2}[pK_w+pK_b+\log C]$

$pOH=\frac{1}{2}[14+4.87+\log (0.0437)]$

$pOH=8.76$

$pH+pOH=14\\\\pH=14-pOH\\\\pH=14-8.76\\\\pH=5.24$

Thus, the pH of the solution is, 5.24

Calculate the no. of each atoms presents in 10 grams of calcium carbonate.

raketka [301]

Molar Mass of Calcium carbonate:-

$\\ \sf\longmapsto CaCO_3$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 40u+12u+3(16u)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 52u+48u$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 100u$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 100g/mol$

Given Mass=10g

$\boxed{\sf No\:of\;moles=\dfrac{Given\:Mass}{Molar\:Mass}}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto No\:of\;moles=\dfrac{10}{100}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto No\:of\:moles=0.1mol$

Now

$\boxed{\sf No\:of\:molecules=No\;of\:moles\times Avagadro\: No}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 0.1\times 6.023\times 10^{23}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 6.023\times 10^{22}molecules$

A very specific procedure scientists follow when conducting experiments is known as the

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Scientific Method.

Explanation:

A scientific method is basically a method or a process when you conduct an experiment. Normally, the process goes like this:

1. You make like a question or something that you want to investigate, it's like the aim of the experiment.

2. You make an experiment and a hypothesis. A hypothesis is basically a guess on how the results of the experiment would turn out. You don't have to be correct for the hypothesis since there is no right or wrong answer.

3. Conduct the experiment. I don't think this needs a detailed explanation since experiments vary from one another.

4. Collect results. The data you collect come in different ways based on your experiment, but it is crucial you get data so that you can answer your question in 1.

5. Make inferences. You can't directly get a conclusion or answer from the results, so inferences are needed.

6. Craft a conclusion or answer. This is the final step when conducting an experiment and the part where you have the answer you needed when you conducted the experiment :)
