Answer:

pH = 8.24

Explanation:

Nitrous acid (HNO₂) reacts with KOH, thus:

HNO₂ + KOH → KNO₂ + H₂O

Moles of HNO₂ are:

0.0257mL ₓ (0.370mol / L) = 0.00951moles.

In equivalence point, the complete moles of nitrous acid reacts with KOH producing potassium nitrite. There are needed:

0.00951mol ₓ (1L / 0.491mol) = 0.01937L ≡ 19.4mL of 0.491M KOH to reach equivalence point.

Total volume in equivalence point is: 19.4mL + 25.7mL = <em>45.1mL</em>

Potassium nitrite is in equilibrium with water, thus:

NO₂⁻ + H₂O ⇄ HNO₂ + OH⁻

Where equilibrium constant, Kb, is defined as:

Kb = 1.41x10⁻¹¹ = \frac{[OH^-][HNO_2]}{[NO_2]}

In equilibrium, molarity of each compound are:

[NO₂⁻]: 0.00951mol/0.00451L - X = 0.211M - X

[HNO₂]: X

[OH⁻]: X

<em>Where X is reaction coordinate</em>

Replacing in Kb:

1.41x10⁻¹¹ = \frac{[X][X]}{[0.211 -X]}

0 = X² + 1.41x10⁻¹¹X - 2.97x10⁻¹²

Solving for X:

X = -1.72x10⁻⁶ <em>FALSE ANSWER. There is no negative concentrations.</em>

X = 1.72x10⁻⁶. <em>Right answer.</em>

That means:

[OH⁻]: 1.72x10⁻⁶M

As pOH is -log [OH⁻] and pH = 14-pOH:

pOH = 5.76; <em>pH = 8.24</em>

NISA [10]

Answer:

8.37 grams

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is:

C₆H₁₂O₆     ⇒   2 C₂H₅OH (l) + 2 CO₂ (g)

Now we are asked to calculate the mass  of glucose required to produce 2.25 L CO₂ at 1atm and 295 K.

From the ideal gas law we can determine the number of moles that the 2.25 L represent.

From there we will use the stoichiometry of the reaction to determine the moles of glucose which knowing the molar mass can be converted to mass.

PV = nRT    ⇒ n = PV/RT

n= 1 atm x 2.25 L / ( 0.08205 Latm/kmol x 295 K ) =0.093 mol CO₂

Moles glucose required:

0.093 mol CO₂  x  ( 1 mol C₆H₁₂O₆   / 2 mol CO₂ ) =  0.046 mol C₆H₁₂O₆

The molar mass of glucose is 180.16 g/mol, then the mass required is

0.046 mol x 180.16 g/mol = 8.37 g

What will happen to the chemical equilibrium if mgci2 is added
gogolik [260]

Answer:

The chemical equilibrium of the system will be unaffected. The chemical equilibrium of the system will shift to the right to favor the forward reaction. The chemical equilibrium of the system will shift to the left to favor the reverse reaction. (I hope this helped!!)

calcium reacts with fluorine to produce calcium fluoride. how does oxidation and reduction take place in this reaction?
Assoli18 [71]

The oxidation is occurring on Calcium ions as it release one electron and reduction will be occurring on fluorine ion as it accepts one electron.

<u>Explanation:</u>

An element will undergo oxidation and form a positive ion on releasing one or more electrons from its valence shell. While reduction is occurred in a chemical reaction, then the element will be forming a negative ion with the acceptance of one or more electrons in its valence shell.

So in the given process of calcium fluoride, the one electron from the valence shell of calcium will be released making it as c a^{+} ions and this is termed as oxidation process. This one electron will be getting accepted by the fluorine ion and thus it will convert to F^{-} ions. This process of acceptance of electrons is termed as reduction.

Which of these is a unique property of bases?
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

A. Feels slippery

Explanation:

Bases are the only types of compounds that have a slippery feel.

B is <em>wrong</em><em>.</em> Most bases do not contain carbon, but organic compounds always do.

C is <em>wrong</em>. Aqueous solutions of bases conduct electricity, but so do aqueous solutions of salts.

D is <em>wrong</em>. Most bases have a bitter taste. Acids have a sour taste.
