Calculate the ph at the equivalence point for the titration of 0.230 m methylamine (ch3nh2) with 0.230 m hcl. the kb of methylam
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer: The pH at the equivalence point for the titration will be 0.65.

Solution:

Let the concentration of [OH^-] be x

Initial concentration of [CH3NH_2], c = 0.230 M

        CH_3NH_2+H_2O\rightleftharpoons CH_3NH_3^++OH^-

at eq'm  c-x                         x                    x

Expression of K_b:

K_b=\frac{[CH_3NH_3^+][+OH^-]}{[CH_3NH_2]}=\frac{x\times x}{c-x}=\frac{x^2}{c-x}

Since ,methyl-amine is a weak base,c>>x so c-x\approx c.

K_b=\frac{x^2}{c}=5.0\times 10^{-4}=\frac{x^2}{0.230 M}

Solving for x, we get:

x=1.07\times 10^{-2} M

Given, HCl with 0.230 M , it dissociates fully in water which means [H^+] = 0.230 M

[OH^-]=[H^+] will result in neutral solution, since [OH^-]

Remaining [H^+] after neutralizing [OH^-]ions

[H^+]_{\text{left in solution}}=[H^+]-[OH^-]=0.230-1.07\times 10^{-2}=0.2193 M

pH=-log{[H^+]_{\text{left in solution}}=-log(0.2193)=0.65

The pH at the equivalence point for the titration will be 0.65.

What volume of air is needed to burn an entire 55-L (approximately 15-gal) tank of gasoline? Assume that the gasoline is pure oc
White raven [17]

Answer:

The volume of air required is 527,686.25L.

Explanation:

When the question says <em>"burn"</em>, it refers to a combustion reaction, where a substance (in this case octane) reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.

Step 1: Write a balanced equation

Considering it is a combustion reaction, the balanced equation is:

C₈H₁₈ + 12.5 O₂ ⇄ 8 CO₂ + 9 H₂O

In this step, we start balancing elements that are present only in one compound on each side of the equation, namely, carbon and hydrogen.

To finish, it is important to count that there are the same number of atoms on both sides of the equation. In this case there are 8 atoms of Carbon, 18 atoms of Hydrogen and 25 atoms of Oxygen, so it is balanced.

Step 2: Find out the mass of C₈H₁₈

Since the balanced equation gives us information about the mass of C₈H₁₈ involved in the reaction, we need to find out how many grams we have.

The info we have is:

  • 55 L of gasoline (assuming gasoline to be pure octane).
  • The density of octane is 0,70 g/cm³

Density relates mass and volume, so we can find out how many grams are represented by 55 L. Since the units used are different, first we need to convert liters into cm³. We use the <em>conversión factor 1 L = 1000 cm³</em>.

55L.\frac{1000cm^{3} }{1L} =55000cm^{3}

Since <em>density = mass/volume</em>, we can solve for mass:

mass = density.volume=0.70\frac{g}{cm^{3} } .55,000cm^{3} =38,500g

Step 3: Establish the theoretical relationship between the mass of octane and the moles of oxygen.

This relationship comes from the balanced equation.

  For octane:

  molar mass of C₈H₁₈ = molar mass of C . 8 + molar mass of H . 18 =

  12 g/mol . 8 +  1g/mol . 18 = 114 g/mol

  According to the balanced equation reacts 1 mol of octane, which means      114 grams of it.

  For oxygen:

  According to the balanced equation, 12.5 moles of oxygen react.

Then, the relationship is <u>114 g octane : 12.5 moles of oxygen</u>

<u />

Step 4: Use the theorethical relationship to find the moles of oxygen that reacted

We use the mass of octane found in step 2 and apply the proper conversión factor.

38,500g (octane) . \frac{12.5mol (oxygen)}{114g (octane)} = 4,221.49mol(oxygen)

Step 5: Find out the volume of oxygen.

We know that 1 mol of any gas at room temperature occupies about 25 L. Then,

4,221.49mol(oxygen).\frac{25L(oxygen)}{1mol(oxygen)} =105,537.25 L (oxygen)

Step 6: Look the volume of air that contains such amount of oxygen

Given oxygen represents 20% of air, we can use that relationship to find the volume of air.

105,537.25L(oxygen).\frac{100L(air)}{20L(oxygen)} =527,686.25L (air)

Define and explain each trend.
Romashka [77]
Atomic radius- a measure of the size of its atoms, usually the mean or typical distance from the center of the nucleus to the boundary of the surrounding cloud of electrons.
Electron Affinity-the electron affinityof an atom or molecule is defined as the amount of energy released or spent when an electron is added to a neutral atom or molecule in the gaseous state to form a negative ion.
Electronegativity-a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. The Pauling scale is the most commonly used. Fluorine (the most electronegative element) is assigned a value of 4.0, and values range down to caesium and francium which are the least electronegative at 0.7.
Lonization energy- qualitatively defined as the amount of energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron, the valence electron, of an isolated gaseous atom to form a cation.
