Answer:

pH = 3.95

Explanation:

It is possible to calculate the pH of a buffer using H-H equation.

pH = pka + log₁₀ [HCOONa] / [HCOOH]

If concentration of [HCOONa] = [HCOOH] = 0.50M and pH = 3.77:

3.77 = pka + log₁₀ [0.50] / [0.50]

<em>3.77 = pka</em>

<em />

Knowing pKa, the NaOH reacts with HCOOH, thus:

HCOOH + NaOH → HCOONa + H₂O

That means the NaOH you add reacts with HCOOH producing more HCOONa.

Initial moles of 100.0mL = 0.1000L:

[HCOOH] = (0.50mol / L) ₓ 0.1000L = 0.0500moles HCOOH

[HCOONa] = (0.50mol / L) ₓ 0.1000L = 0.0500moles HCOONa

After the reaction, moles of each species is:

0.0500moles HCOOH - 0.010 moles NaOH (Moles added of NaOH) = 0.0400 moles HCOOH

0.0500moles HCOONa + 0.010 moles NaOH (Moles added of NaOH) = 0.0600 moles HCOONa

With these moles of the buffer, you can calculate pH:

pH = 3.77 + log₁₀ [0.0600] / [0.0400]

<h3>pH = 3.95</h3>

0.785 moles of N2,fill a balloon at 1.5 atm and 301 K.<br> What is the volume of the balloon?
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

V = 12.93 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles = 0.785 mol

Pressure of balloon = 1.5 atm

Temperature = 301 K

Volume of balloon = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

Now we will put the values.

V = nRT/P

V = 0.785 mol × 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K × 301 K / 1.5 atm

V = 19.4 L /1.5

V = 12.93 L

Alkaline Earth Metals are the elements located in the second period from the left of the periodic table. These elements lose two electrons to form the stable octet when forming an ionic bond, resulting in a net charge of +2. Because they’re trying to get rid of those electrons to get to the stable octet, it’s easy to remove them - this means that the ionization energy of these elements is relatively low. Finally, since they’re looking to get rid of electrons, they certainly aren’t trying to gain any, meaning that their electronegativity is relatively low.

The correct answers are A and D.
