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>

Why does a catalyst work for a long time before it needs replacing?
DedPeter [7]
Because the catalyst is not really part of the reaction. it is something that speed up a reaction by lowering the energy need for the reaction to take place. however, in the end the catalyst is brought back to its initial state. that's why it is long lasting

The density of mercury is 13.5g/mL. What is the volume of this liquid if the sample weighs 12.5 pounds?
Mama L [17]

Answer : The volume of liquid is 420 mL.

Explanation :

Density : The mass per unit volume of a substance is known as density.

Formula used:

\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}

As we are given:

Density of mercury = 13.5 g/mL

Mass = 12.5 pounds

First we have to convert mass of sample from pound to gram.

Conversion used:

As, 1 pound = 453.6 g

So, 12.5 pounds = 453.6 × 12.5 g = 5670 g

Now we have to calculate the volume of liquid.

\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}

Now putting all the given values in this formula, we get:

13.5g/mL=\frac{5670g}{\text{Volume}}

Volume = 420 mL

Therefore, the volume of liquid is 420 mL.

Which of the following pairs of elements could possibly be in the same group? X has a 1+ ion; Y has a 1- ion. X tends to form a
exis [7]
Let's eliminate these one by one.
The first pair would not be the same, as X would most likely be in group IA, and Y would be in group VIIA, because of their tendency to gain and lose electrons.
The second pair would also violate the same rule, but X would most likely be in group IIA, and Y would most likely be in group VIA.
The third pair would not be the same, as X is most likely in group VIIA, and since Y has eight valence electrons, it is most likely a noble gas.
The final pair has X with atomic number 15, making it phosphorous. Phosphorous wants to gain 3 electrons to have a full octet of 8 outer "valence" electrons, and Y would also like to gain 3 electrons. This means it is possible that the final pair would be in the same group.
