Pyridinium is a weak acid having a pKa of 5.2. How much pyridine (the conjugate base of pyridinium) must be added to an aqueous

solution of 0.100M pyridinium (assume the solution volume is constant) to make a buffer that is designed to keep the pH at 4.7?

Answer:

Amount of pyridine required = 0.0316 M

Explanation:

pH of a buffer solution is calculated by using Henderson - Hasselbalch equation.

pH=pK_a+log\frac{[Conjugate\ base]}{[weak\ acid]}

Pyridinium is a weak acid and in the presence of its conjugate base, it acts as buffer.

Henderson - Hasselbalch equation for pyridine/pyridinium buffer is as follows:

pH=pK_a+log\frac{[Py]}{PyH^+]}

pH = 4.7

pK_a=5.2

PyH^+ (Pyridinium)=0.100 M

Substitute the values in the formula

pH=pK_a+log\frac{[Py]}{PyH^+]}\\4.7=5.2 log\frac{[Py]}{0.100}

4.7-5.2=log\frac{[Py]}{0.100} \\-0.5=log\frac{[Py]}{0.100}\\\frac{[Py]}{0.100}=antilog -0.5\\\frac{[Py]}{0.100}=0.316

\frac{[Py]}{0.100} =0.316

[Py]=0.0316\ M

Amount of pyridine required = 0.0316 M

A container holds 15.0 g of phosphorous gas at a pressure of 2.0 atm and a temperature of 20.0 Celsius. What is the density of t
erik [133]
<span>Density is a value for mass, such as kg, divided by a value for volume, such as m3. Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. We calculate as follows:

PV = nRT
PV = mRT/ Molar mass
m/V = P(molar mass)/RT
Density = P(molar mass)/RT 
Density = 2.0 ( 30.97 ) / 0.08206 ( 20 + 273.15) = 2.57 g/L <----First option</span>

Forces that change an object motion by touching the object are _______ forces
strojnjashka [21]

Forces are pushes and pulls that may change the motion of an object. Balanced forces result in an object remaining at rest or moving at a constant speed. Unbalanced forces result in the acceleration of an object. An object's motion depends on how it changes position.

If the a of a monoprotic weak acid is 2. 6×10−6, what is the ph of a 0. 33 m solution of this acid?
yawa3891 [41]

The pH of the monoprotic weak acid is 2.79.

<h3>What are weak acids?</h3>

The weak acids are the acids that do not fully dissociate into ions in the solution. Strong acids fully dissociate into ions.

The chemical reaction is HA(aq) ⇄ A⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).

c (monoprotic acid) = 0.33 M.

Ka = 1.2·10⁻⁶

[A⁻] = [H⁺] = x

[HA] = 0.33 M - x

Ka = [A⁻]·[H⁺] / [HA]

2. 6 × 10⁻⁶ = x² / (0.33 M - x)

Solve quadratic equation: [H⁺] = 0.000524 M.

pH = -log[H⁺]

pH = -log(0.000524 M)

pH = 2.79

Thus,  the pH of the monoprotic weak acid is 2.79
