A carbon atom can form at max four bonds, for example with Hydrogen. Since carbon has 4 electrons, it needs four more electrons to achieve the noble gas state. Carbon needs four more hydrogens, which has one electron, to bond four bonds

"How much NH4Cl, when present in 2.00 liters of 0.200 M ammonia, will give a solution with pH = 8.20? For NH3, Kb = 1.8 x 10-5"

Andru [333]

Answer:

245.66g of NH₄Cl is the mass we need to add to obtain the desire pH

Explanation:

The mixture of NH3/NH4Cl produce a buffer. We can find the pH of a buffer using H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻] / [HA]

Where [A⁻] is the molar concentration of the base, NH₃, and [HA] molar concentration of the acid, NH₄⁺. This molar concentration can be taken as the moles of each chemical

First, we need to find pKa of NH₃ using Kb. Then, the moles of NH₃ and finally replace these values in H-H equation to solve moles of NH₄Cl we need to obtain the desire pH.

pKa NH₃/NH₄⁺

pKb = - log Kb

pKb = -log 1.8x10⁻⁵ = 4.74

pKa = 14 - pKb

pKa = 14 - 4.74

pKa = 9.26

Moles NH₃

2.00L ₓ (0.200mol NH₃ / L) = 0.400 moles NH₃

H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [NH₃] / [NH₄Cl]

8.20 = 9.26 + log [0.400 moles] / [NH₄Cl]

-1.06 = log [0.400 moles] / [NH₄Cl]

0.0087 = [0.400 moles] / [NH₄Cl]

[NH₄Cl] = 0.400 moles / 0.0087

[NH₄Cl] = 4.59 moles of NH₄Cl we need to add to original solution to obtain a pH of 8.20. In grams (Using molar mass NH₄Cl=53.491g/mol):

4.59 moles NH₄Cl ₓ (53.491g / mol) =

<h3>245.66g of NH₄Cl is the mass we need to add to obtain the desire pH</h3>

Calculate the equilibrium constant at 25 ∘C for the reaction Fe(s)+2Ag+(aq)→Fe2+(aq)+2Ag(s)

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

1.7 × 10 ^42

Explanation:

Using Nernst equation

E°cell = RT/nF Inq

at equilibrium

Q=K

E°cell = 0.0257 /n Ink= 0.0592/n log K

Fe2+(aq)+2e−→Fe(s) E∘= −0.45 V

Ag+aq)+e−→Ag(s) E∘= 0.80 V

Fe(s)+2Ag+(aq)→Fe2+(aq)+2Ag(s)

balance the reaction

Fe → Fe²⁺ + 2e⁻ reversing for oxidation E° = 0.45 v

2 Ag⁺ +2e⁻ → 2Ag

n = 2 moles and K = equilibrium constant

E° cell = 0.80 + 0.45 = 1.25 V

E° cell = (0.0592 / n) log K

substitute the value into the equations and solve for K

(1.25 × 2) / 0.0592 = log K

42.23 = log K

k = 10^ 42.23

K = 1.7 × 10 ^42

Diamond is forever" is one of the most successful advertising slogans of all time. but is it true? for the reaction shown below,

Zielflug [23.3K]

The given reaction is

$C _{(Diamond)}\rightarrow C_{(Graphite)}$

An element can exist in 2 or more different forms which have totally different chemical and physical properties. They are known an allotropes.

Diamond and Graphite are allotropic forms of carbon. In the given reaction, diamond is changing to graphite and we have to find out the standard free energy of this reaction. This will help us to find out whether this reaction is spontaneous at 298 K or not.

The following data is needed for calculations which is taken from standard reference table.

$H_{f}^{0}(diamond)= 1.895 kJ/mol$

$H_{f}^{0}(graphite)= 0$

$S^{0}(diamond)=2.337 J/mol-K$

$S^{0}(graphite)=5.740 J/mol-K$

Step 1: Find ΔH⁰ rxn for the given reaction.

The formula to calculate ΔH⁰ rxn is given below.

$\bigtriangleup H^{0}_{rxn}= H_{f}(product)- H_{f}( reactant)$

We have graphite on product side and diamond on reactant side.

Therefore, $\bigtriangleup H^{0}_{rxn}= H_{f}(graphite)- H_{f}(diamond)$

Let us plug in the values given above.

$\bigtriangleup H^{0}_{rxn}= 0 - 1.895 kJ/mol$

$\bigtriangleup H^{0}_{rxn}= - 1.895 kJ/mol$

ΔH⁰ rxn for the given reaction is -1.895 kJ/mol

Step 2 : Find ΔS⁰ rxn for the given reaction.

The formula to calculate ΔS⁰ rxn is

$\bigtriangleup S^{0}_{rxn}= S^{0}(product)- S^{0}( reactant)$

$\bigtriangleup S^{0}_{rxn}= S^{0}(graphite)- S^{0}(diamond)$

$\bigtriangleup S^{0}_{rxn}= (5.740J/mol.K) - (2.337 J/mol.K)$

$\bigtriangleup S^{0}_{rxn}= 3.403 J/mol.K$

Let us convert this to kJ.

$\frac{3.403J}{mol.K}\times \frac{1 kJ}{1000J}= 3.403\times 10^{-3}kJ/mol.K$

ΔS⁰ rxn for the given reaction is 3.403 x 10⁻³ kJ/mol.K

Step 3: Find standard free energy ΔG⁰ rxn.

ΔG⁰ rxn for the given reaction is calculated as

$\bigtriangleup G^{0}_{rxn}= \bigtriangleup H^{0}_{rxn}- T\times \bigtriangleup S^{0}_{rxn}$

We have T = 298 K. Let us plug in the calculated values of ΔH⁰ rxn and ΔS⁰ rxn.

$\bigtriangleup G^{0}_{rxn}= - 1.895 kJ/mol - [(298K)\times 3.403\times 10^{-3}kJ/mol.K]$

$\bigtriangleup G^{0}_{rxn}= - 1.895 kJ/mol - [1.014 kJ/mol]$

$\bigtriangleup G^{0}_{rxn}= - 2.909 kJ/mol$

The standard free energy change for the given reaction is -2.909 kJ/mol

The negative value of delta G⁰ suggests that the given reaction is spontaneous at room temperature. That means diamond will slowly convert to graphite. The speed of this reaction is extremely slow, but yet the reaction is taking place. So over a period of time diamond will become graphite.

Therefore "Diamond is forever" is not true as it is going to get converted to graphite.
