What combination of substances will give a buffered solution that has a pH of 5.05? (Assume each pair of substances is dissolved

in 5.0 L of water.) (Kb for NH3 = 1.8 *10^–5; Kb for C5H5N = 1.7 * 10^–9)
A) 1.0 mole NH3 and 1.5 mole NH4Cl
B) 1.5 mole NH3 and 1.0 mole NH4Cl
C) 1.0 mole C5H5N and 1.5 mole C5H5NHCl
D) 1.5 mole C5H5N and 1.0 mole C5H5NHCl
E) none of these

Answer:

C

Explanation:

When the Kb is given, the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation can be used to calculate the pOH of a buffer solution:

pOH = pKb + log ([A⁻] / [HA]) = -log(Kb) + log ([BH+] / [B])

Here, moles can be used in place of the concentration since the pairs listed are both dissolved in 5L, which cancel due to the fraction in the logarithm.

a) pOH = -log(1.8 x 10⁻⁵) + log(1.5/1.0) = 4.92

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 4.92 = 9.08

b) pOH = -log(1.8 x 10⁻⁵) + log(1.0/1.5) = 4.57

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 4.57 = 9.43

c) pOH = -log(1.7 x 10⁻⁹) + log(1.5/1.0) =  8.95

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 8.95 = 5.05

d) pOH = -log(1.7 x 10⁻⁹) + log(1.0/1.5) =  8.59

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 -  = 5.41

A pascal is a unit for measuring pressure. Which of the following is equal to a pascal unit?
Assoli18 [71]
The pascal (pronounced pass-KAL and abbreviated Pa) is the unit of pressure or stress in the International System of Units (SI). It is named after the scientist Blaise Pascal. One pascal is equivalent to one newton (1 N) of force applied over an area of one meter squared (1 m2).

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

2.8087*10^-12 kJ per mole of reaction (2.8087*10^-12 kJ/mol).

Explanation:

To calculate the energy produced, we need to write a balanced equation for the reaction and determine the change in the masses of the reactants and products. Afterward, we can use the energy equation to determine the energy produced. The balanced equation for the nuclear reaction is shown below:

³₁H + ²₁H ⇒⁴₂He + ¹₀n

The masses of atoms are ³₁H is 3.01605 amu, ²₁H is 2.0140 amu, ⁴₂He is 4.00260 amu, and ¹₀n is 1.008665 amu.

change in mass Δm = (3.01605+2.0140) - (4.00260+1.008665) = 0.0188 amu

Energy produced, E = m*C^2

C is the speed of light = 3*10^8 m/s and 1 amu = 1.66*10^-27 kg

Therefore:

E = 0.0188*1.66*10^-27 * (3*10^8)^2 =  2.8087*10^-12 kJ per mole of reaction.

Therefore, in scientific notation, the energy released is 2.8087*10^-12 kJ/mol
