Answer:

pH = 4.64

Explanation:

To find the pH of a buffer solution we need to use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pKa + log(\frac{[CH_{3}COO^{-}]}{[CH_{3}COOH]})

<u>We have</u>:

pKa = 4.76

pH_{i} = 5.00

[CH₃COOH] + [CH₃COO⁻] = 0.100 M

V = 135 mL = 0.135 L  

To find the pH after the student adds the solution of HCl, first, we need to find the concentrations of the acetic acid and acetate (conjugate base). To do that we will calculate the number of moles before and after the addition of HCl solution.  

Before the addition of the HCl solution we have:

pH = pKa + log(\frac{[CH_{3}COO^{-}]}{[CH_{3}COOH]})

5.00 = 4.76 + log(\frac{[CH_{3}COO^{-}]}{[CH_{3}COOH]})

\frac{[CH_{3}COO^{-}]}{[CH_{3}COOH]} = 1.74

[CH_{3}COO^{-}] = 1.74*[CH_{3}COOH]    (1)

Also we have that the total molarity of acid and conjugate base in this buffer is 0.100 M:

[CH_{3}COOH] + [CH_{3}COO^{-}] = 0.100 M   (2)

Solving equation (1) and (2) for [CH₃COOH] and [CH₃COO⁻], we have:

[CH₃COOH] = 0.036 M

[CH₃COO⁻] = 0.064 M

Now, the number of moles of the acid and conjugate base is:  

\eta_{[CH_{3}COOH]} = 0.036 mol/L*0.135 L = 4.86 \cdot 10^{-3} moles

\eta_{[CH_{3}COO^{-}]} = 0.064 mol/L*0.135 L = 8.64 \cdot 10^{-3} moles

                                 

After the addition of HCl solution we have:

\eta_{HCl} = 0.490 M*5.70 \cdot 10^{-3} L = 2.79 \cdot 10^{-3} moles

The HCl added will react with the conjugate base of the acetic acid:

            H₃O⁺   +    CH₃COO⁻     ⇄     CH₃COOH   +    H₂O      

2.79x10⁻³moles   8.64x10⁻³moles                                  

From the reaction of HCl with CH₃COO⁻ we have:

\eta_{CH_{3}COO^{-}} = 8.64 \cdot 10^{-3} moles - 2.79\cdot 10^{-3} moles = 5.85 \cdot 10^{-3} moles

\eta_{CH_{3}COOH} = 4.86 \cdot 10^{-3} moles + 2.79 \cdot 10^{-3} moles = 7.65 \cdot 10^{-3} moles

Finally, we can find the pH of the solution after the addition of HCl:

V_{T} = 5.7 \cdot 10^{-3} L + 0.135 L = 0.141 L

pH = pKa + log(\frac{[CH_{3}COO^{-}]}{[CH_{3}COOH]})

pH = 4.76 + log(\frac{\eta_{CH_{3}COO^{-}}/V_{T}}{\eta_{CH_{3}COOH}/V_{T}})

pH = 4.76 + log(\frac{5.85 \cdot 10^{-3} moles/0.141 L}{7.65 \cdot 10^{-3} moles/0.141 L})

pH = 4.64

I hope it helps you!

A very old tree limb contains an amount of carbon-14 that is approximately 1/8 of the current atmospheric 14C levels.. Calculate
Tomtit [17]

A.       The radioactive decay equation is N = N0e^{-ln(2)*t/T }

where T is the half-life (5730 years), N0 is the number of atoms at time t = 0 and N is the number at time t.

Rewriting this as:

(N/N0) = e^{-ln(2)*t/T }

Since N = (1/8) N0 and substituting known values:

1/8 = e^{-ln(2)*t/5730}

Taking ln of both sides:

ln(1/8)= -ln(2)*t/5730

t = - 5730 * ln(1/8) / ln (2)

t = 17,190 years

The tree was cut down 17,190 years ago.

B.   N0 = 1,500,000 carbon-14 atoms

Since N = (1/8) N0

N = 187,500 carbon atoms left

You are provided with a stock solution with a concentration of 1.0x10-5 M. You will be using this to make two standard solutions
artcher [175]

Answer:

1. V₁ = 2.0 mL

2. V₁ = 2.5 mL

Explanation:

<em>You are provided with a stock solution with a concentration of 1.0 × 10⁻⁵ M. You will be using this to make two standard solutions via serial dilution.</em>

To calculate the volume required (V₁) in each dilution we will use the dilution rule.

C₁ . V₁ = C₂ . V₂

where,

C are the concentrations

V are the volumes

1 refers to the initial state

2 refers to the final state

<em>1. Perform calculations to determine the volume of the 1.0 × 10⁻⁵ M stock solution needed to prepare 10.0 mL of a 2.0 × 10⁻⁶ M solution.</em>

C₁ . V₁ = C₂ . V₂

(1.0 × 10⁻⁵ M) . V₁ = (2.0 × 10⁻⁶ M) . 10.0 mL

V₁ = 2.0 mL

<em>2. Perform calculations to determine the volume of the 2.0 × 10⁻⁶ M solution needed to prepare 10.0 mL of a 5.0 × 10⁻⁷ M solution.</em>

C₁ . V₁ = C₂ . V₂

(2.0 × 10⁻⁶ M) . V₁ = (5.0 × 10⁻⁷ M) . 10.0 mL

V₁ = 2.5 mL

The graph given below shows the motion of four runners P, Q, R, and S in a 5 km marathon.
wel

Answer:-

As we can see from the graphical data,

The distance covered by all the four runners is the same 5 km.

Among the four athletes, Athlete P covers the distance in under three hours.

It is the minimum time taken among the four athletes.

Thus Athlete P covers the 5 km distance in the minimum amount of time.

We know that speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}

Since time taken for P is minimum, his speed is the maximum. P ran the fastest.

Time taken by Q = 4.5 hours.

Speed of Q = \frac{Distance}{Time taken by Q}

                     = \frac{5km}{4.5hour}

                    = 1.1 km/ hr

Time taken by R = 6 hours.

Speed of R = \frac{Distance}{Time taken by R}

                     = \frac{5km}{6hour}

                    = 0.8 km/ hr
