A chemistry graduate student is given 500. mL of a 0.20 M chloroacetic acid (HCH2ClCO2) solution. Chloroacetic acid is a weak ac

id with Ka= 1.3 x 10^-3. What mass of KCH2ClCO2 should the student dissolve in the HCH2ClCO2 solution to turn it into a buffer with pH = 3.01? You may assume that the volume of the solution doesn't change when the KCH2ClCO2 is dissolved in it. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, and round it to 2 significant digits.

Answer:

12 g of choloracetic acid

Explanation:

The buffer equilibrium is:

HCH₂ClCO₂ ⇄ CH₂ClCO₂⁻ + H⁺

pka= -log ka =

Ka: 1,3x10⁻³ = [CH₂ClCO₂⁻] [H⁺] / [HCH₂ClCO₂]

By Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pka + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

3,01 = 2,89 + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

1,318 = [A⁻] / [HA]

As molar concentration of chloroacetic acid (HA) is 0,20M

[A⁻] = 0,26 mol/L

The volume is 500 mL ≡ 0,5 L

0,26mol/L × 0,5 L = 0,13 moles of chloroacetic acid. In grams:

0,13 mol × (94,5g / 1mol) = <em>12 g of choloracetic acid</em>

<em></em>

The. bond dissociation enthalpies of the H-H bond and the H-Cl bond are 435 kJ mol^-1 and 431 kJ mol^-1, respectively. The ΔHfO
Novay_Z [31]

The bond dissociation energy of the Cl - Cl bond is -958 kJ mol^-1.

<h3>What is the dissociation enthalpy?</h3>

Given that;

H-H bond energy =  435 kJ mol^-1

H-Cl bond energy = 431 kJ mol^-1

ΔHfO of HCL(g) = -92kJ mol^-1

Bond dissociation enthalpy of the Cl-Cl bond = x

-92 = 435  +  431 + x

x = -92 - (435  +  431)

x = -958 kJ mol^-1

My Everest is the highest mountain on earth.its height is 8.848 km. Convert this height to feet. Write your answer in standard n
Vinvika [58]

Answer: 2.9(10)^{7} ft

Explanation:

Firstly we need to know that 1 km=3280.84 ft, then we cam make the conversion:

8848 km \frac{3280.84 ft}{1 km}=29,028,872.32 ft This is the height of Mount Everest in feet

However, we can express it using scientific notation by counting to the left the decimal spaces:

29,028,872.32 ft \approx 2.9(10)^{7} ft
