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!

What would be the best product to neutralize battery acid
Anna [14]

Answer:

Baking Soda a base

Explanation:

We know that to neutralize an acid we add base to it. Baking Soda is a type of base so when we add Baking Soda or any other base to battery acid or any other acid we can neutralize it and get salt and water.

Acids are the substance which are sour in taste and can turn blue litmus paper red. For example, Lemon and Orange.

Bases are the substance which are bitter in taste and can turn red litmus paper blue. For example, Baking Soda and Soap.

What is the age of mummified primate skin that contains 8.25% of the original quantity of 14C?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

20619.4793 years

Explanation:

The half life of carbon-14 = 5730 years

The formula for the half life for a first order kinetic reaction is:

t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}

Where,  

t_{1/2} is the half life

k is the rate constant.

Thus rate constant is:

5730 years=ln(2)/k

k = 1.21×10⁻⁴ years ⁻¹

Using integrated rate law as:

ln\ \frac {A_t}{A_0}=-k\times t

Where,

A_t is the concentration at time t

A_0 is the initial concentration

Given that the final concentration contains 8.25 % of the original quantity which means that:

\frac {A_t}{A_0}=0.0825

So,

ln(.0825)= -1.21×10⁻⁴×t

<u> t = 20619.4793 years</u>

<u></u>

The vapor pressure of benzene is 73.03 mm Hg at 25°C. How many grams of estrogen (estradiol), C18H24O2, a nonvolatile, nonelectr
alexira [117]

Answer:

14.9802 grams of estrogen must be added to 216.7 grams of benzene.

Explanation:

The relative lowering of vapor pressure of solution containing non volatile solute is equal to mole fraction of solute.

\frac{p_o-p_s}{p_o}=\frac{n_2}{n_1+n_2}

Where:

p_o = Vapor pressure of pure solvent

p_s = Vapor pressure of the solution

n_1 = Number of moles of solvent

n_2 = Number of moles of solute

p_o = 73.03 mmHg

p_s= 71.61 mmHg

n_1=\frac{216.7 g}{78.12 g/mol}=2.7739 mol

\frac{73.03 mmHg-71.61 mmHg}{73.03 mmHg}=\frac{n_2}{2.7739 mol+n_2}

n_2=0.05499 mol

Mass of 0.05499 moles of estrogen :

= 0.05499 mol × 272.4 g/mol = 14.9802 g

14.9802 grams of estrogen must be added to 216.7 grams of benzene.
