You wish to prepare a buffer consisting of acetic acid and sodium acetate with a total acetic acetate plus acetate concentration

of 250 mm and a ph of 5. what concentrations of acetic acid and sodium acetate should you use
Chemistry

<u>Ans: Acetic acid = 90.3 mM and Sodium acetate = 160 mM</u>

Given:

Acetic Acid/Sodium Acetate buffer of pH = 5.0

Let HA = acetic acid

A- = sodium acetate

Total concentration [HA] + [A-] = 250 mM ------(1)

pKa(acetic acid) = 4.75

Based on Henderson-Hasselbalch equation

pH = pKa + log[A-]/[HA]

[A-]/[HA] = 10^(pH-pKa) = 10^(5-4.75) = 10^0.25 = 1.77

[A-] = 1.77[HA] -----(2)

From (1) and (2)

[HA] + 1.77[HA] = 250 mM

[HA] = 250/2.77 = 90.25 mM

[A-] = 1.77(90.25) = 159.74 mM

2C6H14 + 19O2 → 12CO2 + 14H2O How many atoms, total, are reacting in this equation?
marin [14]
Answer is: seventy eight (78) atoms in this reaction.
In this balanced chemical reaction there are twelve carbon atoms (from two molecules of C₆H₁₄), twenty eight atoms of hydrogen (from two molecules of C₆H₁₄) and thirty eight atoms of oxygen (from nineteen molecules of oxygen):
12C + 28H + 38O = 78 atoms total.

The air in a living room has a mass of 60 Kg and a specific heat of 1,020 J/kg°C. What is the change in thermal energy of the ai
arlik [135]

Answer:

Q = 306 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 60 kg

Specific heat, c = 1020 J/kg°C

The temperature changes from 20°C to 25°C.

Let Q be the change in thermal energy. The formula for the heat released is given by :

Q=mc\Delta T

Put all the values,

Q=60\times 1020\times (25-20)\\\\Q=306000\ J\\\\or\\\\Q=306\ kJ

So, 306 kJ is the change in thermal energy.
