Determine the pH of the resulting solution if 25 mL of 0.400 M strychnine (C21H22N2O2) is added to 50 mL of 0.200 M HCl? Assume

that the volumes of the solutions are additive. For strychnine at the temperature of the experiment, Kb = 1.8 × 10-6.

Answer:

pH = 4.56

Explanation:

The strychnine reacts with HCl as follows:

C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂ + HCl ⇄ C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂H⁺ + Cl⁻

<em />

For strychnine buffer:

pOH = 5.74 + log [C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂H⁺] / [C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂]

Initial moles of C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂ are:

0.025L * (0.400 mol / L) = 0.01 moles C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂

And of HCl are:

0.05L * (0.200 mol / L) = 0.01 moles HCl

That means after the reaction, you will have just 0.01 moles of C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂H⁺ in 50mL + 25mL = 0.075L. And molarity is:

[C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂H⁺] = 0.01 mol / 0.075L = 0.1333M

This conjugate acid, is in equilibrium with water as follows:

C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂H⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂ + H₃O⁺

<em />

<em>Where Ka = Kw / Kb = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 1.8x10⁻⁶ = 5.556x10⁻⁹</em>

<em />

Ka is defined as:

Ka = 5.556x10⁻⁹ = [C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂] [H₃O⁺] / [C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂H⁺]

In equilibrium, concentrations are:

C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂ = X

H₃O⁺ = X

C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂H⁺ = 0.1333M - X

Replacing in Ka expression:

5.556x10⁻⁹ = [X] [X] / [0.1333M - X]

7.39x10⁻¹⁰ - 5.556x10⁻⁹X = X²

7.39x10⁻¹⁰ - 5.556x10⁻⁹X - X² = 0

Solving for X:

X = - 2.72x10⁻⁵M → False solution. There is no negative concentrations

X = 2.72x10⁻⁵M → Right solution.

As H₃O⁺ = X

H₃O⁺ = 2.72x10⁻⁵M

And pH = -log H₃O⁺

The physical and chemical properties of a molecule depend on its structure. Here are two ball-and-stick models for two compounds
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Ethanol has covalent intramolecular bonds. Ethanol is polar. Ethanol has dispersion intermolecular forces. Dimethyl ether is polar. Dimethyl ether forms hydrogen bonds. Dimethyl ether has dispersion intermolecular forces.

Explanation:

Ethanol is not a carboxylic acid. It is an alcohol and it has covelent intramolecular bonds. It is polar and it also has dispersion intermolecular forces.

Dimethyl ether is also polar and it has forms hydrogen bonds. It also has dispersion intermolecular forces. Dimethyl ether does not have ionic intramolecular forces

If 50.75 g of a gas occupies 10.0 L at STP, 129.3 g of the gas will occupy __________ L at STP.
Vlad [161]

If 50.75 g of a gas occupies 10.0 L at STP, 129.3 g of the gas will occupy 25.48 L at STP.

<h3>How to calculate volume?</h3>

The volume of a gas at STP can be calculated using the direct proportion method.

According to this question, 50.75 g of a gas occupies 10.0 L at STP, then 129.3g of the same gas will occupy the following:

= 129.3 × 10/50.75

= 25.48L

Therefore, if 50.75 g of a gas occupies 10.0 L at STP, 129.3 g of the gas will occupy 25.48 L at STP.

The alkali earth metal beryllium (Be) engages in a chemical reaction and loses all of its valence electrons.
denpristay [2]

The loss of electron from an results in the formation of cation represented by the positive charge on the element whereas gaining of electron results in the formation of anion represented by the negative charge on the element.

The alkali earth metal beryllium (Be) belongs to the second group of the periodic table. The ground state electronic configuration of Be is:1s^{2}2s^{2}

From the electronic configuration it is clear that it has 2 valence electrons in its valence shell (2s^{2}).

After losing all valence electrons that is 2 electrons from 2s orbital. The electronic configuration will be:

1s^{2}2s^{0}

Since, lose of electron is represented by positive charge on the element symbol. So, the beryllium will have +2 charge on its symbol as Be^{2+}.

Hence, beryllium will have 2+ charge on it after losing all its valence electrons in the chemical reaction.

1/ Which graph illustrates constant speed and velocity
Maksim231197 [3]
Velocity is said to be constant if its magnitude as well direction at any instant is remains the same. In D, if you draw a line parallel to y-axis at any time t, you can see that velocity is same. Hence, D is the correct graph.

The kinetic energy of gaseous molecules is greater than that of liquid molecules. Therefore, in gas, kinetic energy overcomes the force of attraction between molecules. In short, in gas phase, particles move at high speed and hence they have less force of attraction. In case of liquid phase, particles are close enough as a result there is much more force of attraction compared to gaseous molecules. In liquid state, kinetic energy cannot overcome force of attraction therefore, liquid molecules slow down.

Therefore, B is the correct answer.

1. How do metals and non-metals react with acids? Write and explain the chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium with sul
Nata [24]

Answer:

1. How do metals and non-metals react with acids?

Ans : Non metals does not react with acids while metals react with acids and produce hydrogen gas that burns with a 'pop'sound.

2. Write and explain the chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium with sulphuric acid and aluminium with hydrochloric acid.

Magnesium + sulphuric acid = Hydrogen + salt

Mg(s) + H2SO4 (aq) MgSO 4(aq) +H2 (g)

Aluminium + Hydrochloric acid = Hydrogen + Aluminium chloride

2Al(s)+6HCl(aq)→2AlCl3(aq)+3H2(g)
