Calculate the percent ionization of a 0.18 M benzoic acid solution in a solution containing 0.10 M sodium benzoate.
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

% I = 0.083 %

Explanation:

  • C6H5COOH  +  NaOH ↔ NaC6H5CO2 + H2O

∴ M C6H5COOH = 0.18 mol/L

∴ M NaC6H5CO2 = 0.10 mo/L

  • % ion = ( { H3O+ ] / initial acid concentration ) * 100

⇒ C6H5COOH ↔ H3O+  +  C6H5COO-

⇒ NaC6H5CO2 ↔ Na+  +  C6H5COO-

∴ Ka = 6.4 E-5 = ( [ H3O+ ] * [ C6H5COO- ] ) / [ C6H5COOH ]  

Ka value taken from the literature

mass balance

⇒ 0.18 + 0.1 = [ C6H5COOH ] + [ C6H5COO- ]

⇒ [ C6H5COOH ] = 0.28 - [ C6H5COO- ]  ........(1)

charge balance:

⇒ [ H3O+ ] + [ Na+ ] = [ C6H5COO- ]

∴ [ Na+ ] ≅ M NaC6H5CO2 = 0.1 M

⇒ [ C6H5COO- ] = [ H3O+ ] + 0.1..............(2)

(1) and (2) in Ka:

⇒ 6.4 E-5 = ( [ H3O+ ] * ( [ H3O+ ] + 0.1 ) / ( 0.28 - ( [ H3O+ ] + 0.1 ) )

⇒ 6.4 E-5 = [ H3O+ ]² + 0.1 [H3O+ ] / ( 0.18 - [ H3O+ ] )

⇒ 1.17 E-5 - 6.5 E-5 [ H3O+ ] = [ H3O+ ]² + 0.1 [ H3O+ ]

⇒ [ H3O+ ]² + 0.1 [ H3O+ ] - 1.17 E-5 = 0

⇒ [ H3O+ ] = 1.493 E-4 M

⇒ % I = ( 1.493 E-4 / 0.18 ) * 100 = 0.083 %

How many sulfur atoms are present in 25.6 g of Al2(S2O3)3
IgorC [24]

Given the mass of Al_{2}(S_{2}O_{3})_{3}=25.6 g

The molar mass of Al_{2}(S_{2}O_{3})_{3}=390.35g/mol

Converting mass of Al_{2}(S_{2}O_{3})_{3}to moles:

25.6 g Al_{2}(S_{2}O_{3})_{3}*\frac{1molAl_{2}(S_{2}O_{3}}{390.35 gAl_{2}(S_{2}O_{3}} =0.0656molAl_{2}(S_{2}O_{3}

Converting mol Al_{2}(S_{2}O_{3})_{3}to mol S:

0.0656mol Al_{2}(S_{2}O_{3})_{3}*\frac{6molS}{1mol Al_{2}(S_{2}O_{3})_{3}}=0.3936 molS

Converting mol S to atoms of S using Avogadro's number:

1 mol = 6.022*10^{23}atoms

0.3936mol S *\frac{6.022*10^{23}atoms S}{1 mol S}=2.37*10^{23} S atoms

Hi, please I need help

The mass of ethanol (alcohol) = 538.016 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁(aq)+H₂O(I) = CH₃CH₂OH(aq)+CO₂(g)

1 kg of sugar = 1000 g

Required

The mass of ethanol

Solution

Balanced equation

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁(aq)+H₂O(I) = 4CH₃CH₂OH(aq)+4CO₂(g)

mol of sugar (MW = 12.12+22.1+11.16=342 g/mol) :

mol = mass : MW

mol = 1000 g : 342 g/mol

mol = 2.924

From the equation, mol ratio of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ : CH₃CH₂OH = 1 : 4, so mol ethanol =

= 4 x mol sugar

= 4 x 2.924

= 11.696

Mass of ethanol(MW=46 g/mol) :

mass = mol x MW

mass = 11.696 x 46

mass = 538.016 g

Calculate the ph of a 0.005 m solution of potassium oxide k2o
Alecsey [184]
First, we have to see how K2O behaves when it is dissolved in water:

K2O + H20 = 2 KOH

According to reaction K2O has base properties, so it forms a hydroxide in water.
For the reaction next relation follows:

c(KOH) : c(K2O) = 1 : 2

So,

c(KOH)= 2 x c(K2O)= 2 x 0.005 = 0.01 M = c(OH⁻)

Now we can calculate pH:

pOH= -log c(OH⁻) = -log 0.01 = 2

pH= 14-2 = 12
