Answer:

Final pH: 9.49.

Round to two decimal places as in the question: 9.5.

Explanation:

The conjugate of B is a cation that contains one more proton than B. The conjugate of B is an acid. As a result, B is a weak base.

What's the pKb of base B?

Consider the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for buffers of a weak base and its conjugate acid ion.

\displaystyle \text{pOH} = \text{pK}_b + \log{\frac{[\text{Salt}]}{[\text{Base}]}}.

\text{pOH} = \text{pK}_w - \text{pH}.

\text{pK}_w = 14.

\text{pOH} = 14 - 9.5 = 4.5

\displaystyle \text{pK}_b = \text{pOH} -\log{\frac{[\text{Salt}]}{[\text{Base}]}}\\\phantom{\text{pK}_b} = 4.5 - \log{\frac{0.750}{1.05}} \\\phantom{\text{pK}_b} =4.64613.

What's the new salt-to-base ratio?

The 0.005 mol of HCl will convert 0.005 mol of base B to its conjugate acid ion BH⁺.

Initial:

  • n(\text{B}) = c\cdot V = 1.05 \times 0.5 = 0.525\;\text{mol};
  • n(\text{BH}^{+}) = c\cdot V = 0.750 \times 0.5 = 0.375\;\text{mol}.

After adding the HCl:

  • n(\text{B}) = 0.525 - 0.005 = 0.520\;\text{mol};
  • n(\text{BH}^{+}) = 0.375+ 0.005 = 0.380\;\text{mol}.

Assume that the volume is still 0.5 L:

  • \displaystyle [\text{B}] = \frac{n}{V} = \frac{0.520}{0.5} = 1.04\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}.
  • \displaystyle [\text{BH}^{+}] = \frac{n}{V} = \frac{0.380}{0.5} = 0.760\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}.

What's will be the pH of the solution?

Apply the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation again:

\displaystyle \text{pOH} = \text{pK}_b + \log{\frac{[\text{Salt}]}{[\text{Base}]}} = 4.64613 + \log{\frac{0.760}{1.04}} = 4.50991

\text{pH} = \text{pK}_w - \text{pOH}= 14 - 4.50991 = 9.49.

The final pH is slightly smaller than the initial pH. That's expected due to the hydrochloric acid. However, the change is small due to the nature of buffer solutions: adding a small amount of acid or base won't significantly impact the pH of the solution.

How much heat is released as the temperature of 25.2 grams of iron is decreased from 72.1°C to 9.8°C? The specific heat of iron
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Q=-697.06\ J

Negative sign says that release of heat.

Explanation:

The expression for the calculation of the heat released or absorbed of a process is shown below as:-

Q=m\times C\times \Delta T

Where,  

\Delta H  is the heat released or absorbed

m is the mass

C is the specific heat capacity

\Delta T  is the temperature change

Thus, given that:-

Mass = 25.2 g

Specific heat = 0.444 J/g°C

\Delta T=9.8-72.1\ ^0C=-62.3\ ^0C

So,  

Q=25.2\times 0.444\times -62.3\ J=-697.06\ J

Negative sign says that release of heat.

You can practice converting between the mass of a solution and mass of solute when the mass percent concentration of a solution
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

450. g of 0.173 % KCN solution contains 779 mg of KCN.

Explanation:

Mass of the solution = m

Mass of the KCN in solution = 779 mg

Mass by mass percentage of KCN solution = 0.173%

(m/m)\%=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 100

0.173\%=\frac{779 mg}{m}\times 100

m=\frac{779 mg}{0.173}\times 100= 450,289 mg

1 mg = 0.001 g

m = 450,289 mg × 0.001 g = 450.289 mg ≈ 450. g

450. g of 0.173 % KCN solution contains 779 mg of KCN.

Which atoms in the amino acids become the h2o molecule produced by their action in model?
Mariana [72]

Atoms in the amino acids become the h₂O molecule produced by their action in the model and come off from the central carbon and nitrogen but not from the carboxyl, R side chain, or amine.

An amino acid is a group of organic molecules that consist of a basic acidic carboxyl group (―COOH), amino group (―NH2), and an organic R group (or side chain) that is different from each amino acid. Amino acid, the term is a short form of α-amino [alpha-amino] carboxylic acid.

Whereas, the peptide bond is the chemical bond which is a chemical bond formed between two molecules when the carboxyl group of a particular molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule, leading to releasing a molecule of water (H2O).

Each molecule consists of a central carbon atom referred to as the α-carbon, to which both a carboxyl group and amino are attached. The remaining two bonds of the α-carbon atom are generally occupied  by  the R group and a hydrogen (H) atom .

A gas mixture contains 3.0 mol of hydrogen (H2) and 7.3 mol of nitrogen (N2). The total pressure of the mixture is 304 kPa. What
Inga [223]

Answer:

Mole fraction H₂ = 0.29

Partial pressure of H₂ → 88.5 kPa

Explanation:

You need to know this relation to solve this:

Moles of a gas / Total moles = Partial pressure of the gas / Total pressure

Total moles = 3 mol + 7.3 mol → 10.3 moles

Mole fraction H₂ → 3 moles / 10.3 moles = 0.29

Mole fraction = Partial pressure of the gas / Total pressure

0.29 . 304 kPa = Partial pressure of H₂ → 88.5 kPa
