Calculation of Molar Ratios of Conjugate Base to Weak Acid from pH For a weak acid with a pKa of 6.0, calculate the ratio of con

jugate base to acid at a pH of 5.0.
Choice of Weak Acid for a Buffer Which of these com-pounds would be the best buffer at pH 5.0: formic acid (pKa 5 3.8), acetic acid (pKa 5 4.76), or ethylamine (pKa 5 9.0)? Briefly justify your answer.

Explanation:

According to the Handerson equation,  

          pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{\text{salt}}{\text{acid}}

or,      pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{\text{conjugate base}}{\text{acid}}

Putting the given values into the above equation as follows.

     pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{\text{conjugate base}}{\text{acid}}

       5.0 = 6.0 + log \frac{\text{conjugate base}}{\text{acid}}[/tex]

      log \frac{\text{conjugate base}}{\text{acid}} = -1.0

or,      \frac{\text{conjugate base}}{\text{acid}} = 10^{-1.0}

                            = 0.1

Therefore, we can conclude that molar ratios of conjugate base to weak acid for given solution is 0.1.

The equilibrium constant for the gas-phase isomerization of borneol (c10h17oh) to isoborneol at 503 k is 0.106. a mixture consis
Dimas [21]
The solution is as follows:

K = [Partial pressure of isoborneol]/[Partial pressure of borneol] = 0.106

The molar mass of isoborneol/borneol is 154.25 g/mol

Mol isoborneol = 15 g/154.25 = 0.0972 mol
Mol borneol = 7.5 g/154.25 = 0.0486 mol

Use the ICE approach

        borneol  →  isoborneol
I         0.0972           0.0486
C         -x                     +x
E     0.0972 - x        0.0486 + x

Total moles = 0.1458

Using Raoult's Law,
Partial Pressure = Mole fraction*Total Pressure
[Partial pressure of isoborneol] = [(0.0972-x)/0.1458]*P
[Partial pressure of borneol] = [(0.0486+x/0.1458)]*P

0.106 = [(0.0972-x)/0.1458]*P/ [(0.0486+x/0.1458)]*P
Solving for x,
x = 0.0832 

Thus,
<em>Mol fraction of borneol = (0.0486+0.0832)/0.1458 = 0.904</em>
<em>Mol fraction of isoborneol = (0.0972-0.0832)/0.1458 = 0.096</em>

Solid silver chloride, AgCI(s), decomposes to its elements when exposed to sunlight Write a balanced equation for this reaction
Mrac [35]

Answer: The coefficient in front of AgCl when the equation is properly balanced is 2.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

Decomposition of silver chloride is represented as:

2AgCl(s)\rightarrow 2Ag(s)+Cl_2(g)

Thus the coefficient in front of AgCl when the equation is properly balanced is 2.

What statement is true about the eight elements on the periodic table termed metalloids?
valina [46]

Answer:

They have properties of both metals and nonmetals

Explanation:

  • Elements in the periodic table may be divided into Metals, non-metals, and metalloids.
  • Metals are the elements that react by losing electrons to form stable positively charged ions known as cations. Examples are group 1, 2, and 3 elements together with transition elements.
  • Non-metals are those elements that react by gaining electrons to form stable negatively charged ions called anions. Examples include oxygen, carbon, sulfur, etc.
  • Metalloids, on the other hand, are elements that have both metallic and non-metallic properties.
  • Metalloids occur between metals and non-metals in the periodic table. Examples include Boron and silicon among others.
