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.

In a certain chemical reaction, 2 solid Mg atoms bond with O2 gas to produce solid
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Option B. 2Mg(s) + O2 (g) —> 2MgO (s)

Explanation:

From the question given above,

We were told that:

2 solid Mg atoms bond with O2 gas to produce solid MgO.

This can be represented by an equation as follow:

2Mg(s) + O2 (g) —> MgO (s)

Next, we shall balance the above equation as follow:

2Mg(s) + O2 (g) —> MgO (s)

There are 2 atoms of Mg on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of MgO as shown below:

2Mg(s) + O2 (g) —> 2MgO (s)

Now, the equation is balanced.

a concentration solution of H2so4 is 59.4% by mass (m/m) and has a density of 1.83 g/mL. How many mL of the solution would be re
Blababa [14]

Answer: 41.5 mL

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

Molarity=\frac{n}{V_s}

where,

n = moles of solute

V_s = volume of solution in L

Given : 59.4 g of H_2SO_4 in 100 g of solution  

moles of H_2SO_4=\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{59.4g}{98g/mol}=0.61

Volume of solution =\frac{\text {mass of solution}}{\text {density of solution}}=\frac{100g}{1.83g/ml}=54.6ml

Now put all the given values in the formula of molality, we get

Molality=\frac{0.61\times 1000}{54.6ml}=11.2M

To calculate the volume of acid, we use the equation given by neutralisation reaction:

M_1V_1=M_2V_2

where,

M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the molarity and volume of stock acid which is H_2SO_4

M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the molarity and volume of dilute acid which is H_2SO_4

We are given:

M_1=11.2M\\V_1=mL\\M_2=0.30M\\V_2=1550mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

11.2\times V_1=0.30\times 1550\\\\V_1=41.5mL

Thus 41.5 mL of the solution would be required to prepare 1550 mL of a .30M solution of the acid

Which type of bonding is most important in ch3ch2ch2ch2ch2ch3?
saveliy_v [14]

The compound CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3 is formed only by sharing of electrons between the atoms. The structure of the compound is shown in the image.

Each line between two atoms represents the sharing of an electron pair which results in the formation of a single bond. Since, carbon has 4 electrons in its valence shell and hydrogen has 1 electron in its valence shell so in order to complete the octet ( to have 8 electrons in their valence shell, noble gas configuration) to attain stability carbon needs 4 more electrons and hydrogen needs 1 electron. So, sharing of electron will occur as shown in the image and the formed compound is stable in nature.

Since, the bond that is formed by sharing of electrons between atoms is known as covalent bond. So, covalent bonding is most important in CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3.
