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>

I hope it helps!

How many grams of material is lost in the aqueous phase if two extractions are carried out on 100 mL of a 5% (m/v) aqueous solut
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

4.94g of material

Explanation:

Partition coefficient (Kp) of a substance is defined as the ratio between concentration of organic solution and aqueous solution, that is:

Kp = <em>8 = Concentration in Ethyl acetate / Concentration in water</em>

100mL of a 5% solution contains 5g of material in 100mL of water. Thus:

8 = X / 100mL / (5g-X) / 100mL

<em>Where X is the amount of material in grams that comes to the organic phase.</em>

8 = X / 100mL / (5g-X) / 100mL

8 = 100X / (500-100X)

4000 - 800X = 100X

4000 = 900X

4.44g = X

<em>Thus, in the first extraction you will lost 4.44g of material from the aqueous phase.</em>

And will remain 5g-4.44g = 0.56g.

In the second extraction:

8 = X / 100mL / (0.56g-X) / 100mL

8 = 100X / (56-100X)

448 - 800X = 100X

448 = 900X

0.50g = X

<em>In the second extraction, you will extract 0.50g of material</em>

Thus, after the two extraction you will lost:

4.44g + 0.50g = <em>4.94g of material</em>

Which sequence represents the relationship between pressure and volume of an ideal gas as explained by the kinetic-molecular the
Svetlanka [38]
<h2>Answer : Option C) Smaller volume - crowded particles - more collisions - high pressure</h2><h3>Explanation : </h3>

The kinetic molecular theory of gases explains that if there is small volume of gas there will be more crowding of the gas molecules inside the container. The crowded gas molecules will collide with each other and also with the walls of container as a result, exchange of energies will take place. Which will increase the pressure inside the container, and will raise the pressure than the initial pressure.

How can I balance this equation? TELL ME HOW you did it and all the steps and you will be the brainliest.
lianna [129]

Answer:

3 CH3CH2OH + 4 H2CrO4 + 6 H2SO4 --> 3 CH3COOH + 2 Cr2(SO4)3 + 13 H2O

Explanation:

To balance, start of with the groups that are common on both sides of the reaction equation;

In this case, these are the SO4 groups treating them as single units;

There are 3 on the right side and 1 on the left side, so we put 3 in front of the H2SO4 to balance this first;

Next, deal with the Cr, there are 2 Cr on the right side and 1 on the other side, so we put a 2 in front of the H2CrO4 to balance that;

Thirdly, we notice the C are already balanced as there are 2 on each side so this is fine;

Lastly, we can deal with the O and H;

Bearing in mind the numbers that are in front of the molecules now from prior balancing, there are 9 O and 16 H on the left side and 3 O and 5 H on the right;

7 H2O on the right side would balance the O, but gives us 18 H, which is 2 too many H;

If we were to put 2 in front of the two organic molecules (the ones with C) on either side, we would balance the O by having 6 H2O, but this gives 2 fewer H than necessary;

In order for the H to balance, we need to have 13/2 (or 6.5) H2O, which means we need 3/2 (or 1.5) in front of each organic molecule;

Since, it is not sensible to have 13/2 water molecules or 3/2 organic molecules, we can just multiply everything by 2;

Thus we end up with:

3 CH3CH2OH + 4 H2CrO4 + 6 H2SO4 --> 3 CH3COOH + 2 Cr2(SO4)3 + 13 H2O

Rules of thumb:

- When there are common chemical groups (e.g. SO4) on both sides of a reaction equation, treat them as single units

- Start of with balancing these common groups

- Thereafter, balance the atoms that appear in only one reactant and one product

- Proceed to balance the atoms that appear in more than one reactant or product

- Typically, you should deal with the O and H last
