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⁺

<h3>pH = 4.56</h3>

Consider 10.0 g of helium gas (He) in a rigid steel container. If you add 10.0 g of neon gas (Ne) to this container, which of th
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: (e) The pressure in the container increases but does not double.

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to first remember our gas law, Boyle's law states that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship. That is, If volume increases, then pressure decreases and vice versa, when temperature is held constant. Therefore, increasing the volume in this case does not double the pressure owning to out gas law, but an increase in pressure would be noticed if temperature is constant

When the forward and reverse paths of a change occur at the same rate,
Zarrin [17]
The correct answer is option B. When the forward and reverse paths of a change occur at the same rate, <span>the system is in equilibrium specifically in dynamic equilibrium.</span> Dynamic equilibrium is the balance in a process that is continuing. It is achieved in a reaction when the forward rate of reaction and the backward rate of reaction is at the same value or equal.

Need help on this question asap pleasee I would really appreciate it
Elza [17]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

An endothermic reaction is one in which energy is absorbed and the change in enthalpy for the reaction is positive.

If we look at the reaction 2HgO + 45kcal ----> 2Hg + O2; we will notice that

i) 45kcal of energy was taken in (absorbed) for the reaction to occur

ii) The value of the reaction enthalpy is positive

For these two reasons, the reaction is an endothermic reaction as written.

Using the equation 2H2+O2=2H2O, when 47g of water are produced, how many grams of hydrogen must react?
Fed [463]

See , from the equation we can see that for forming two mole of H2O 2Mole of H2 has to react.

Mass of 2 Mole H2O is 18*2gm or 36gm.

So for forming 36 gm H2O 2×2 I.e. 4 gm H2 has to take part in reaction.

Therefore, to form 1 gm H2O 4÷36 gm of H2 has to take part.

So, for forming 47gm H2O (4÷36)×47 gm H2 has to take part

I.e. 5.22 gm of H2 has to take part

So, ans is 5.22 gm of hydrogen.

Hope it helps!!!
