Which of the pairs below would be the best choice for a pH 5 buffer? HF/NaF, K a (HF) = 3.5 × 10-4 HC2H3O2/KC2H3O2, K a (HC2H3O2

) = 1.8 × 10-5 NH3/NH4Cl, K b (NH3) = 1.8 × 10-5

Answer:

HC₂H₃O₂/KC₂H₃O₂

Explanation:

Considering the Henderson- Hasselbalch equation for the calculation of the pH of the basic buffer solution as:


pH=pK_b+log\frac{[salt]}{[acid]}


For a best pair, the pKa value must be equal to pH.

NH₃/NH₄Cl forms a basic buffer and cannot account for pH = 5

out of the acidic buffer given,

So, HF , Ka = 3.5 × 10⁻⁴ , So pKa = 3.46

HC₂H₃O₂ , Ka = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵ , So pKa = 4.77

<u>The best pair to show pH = 5 is HC₂H₃O₂/KC₂H₃O₂</u>

Which formula represents an ionic compound?<br> a. NaCl<br> b. N2O<br> c. HCl<br> d.H2O
icang [17]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. It is NaCl the formula that represents an ionic compound. An ionic compound is held my oppositely charged atoms. Therefore, this would mean that one is a positive and another is a negative held together. NaCl is held by these forces.

Construct a three-step synthesis of 1,2-epoxycyclopentane from cyclopentanol by dragging the appropriate formulas into the bins.
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

(1) Bromination, (2) E2 elimination and (3) epoxidation

Explanation:

  • In the first step, -OH group in cyclopentanol is replaced by more facile leaving group Br by treating cyclopentanol with PBr_{3}
  • In the second step, E2 elimination in presence of strong base e.g. NaOEt/EtOH produce cyclopentene
  • In the third step, treatment of cyclopentene with mCPBA produces 1,2-epoxycyclopentane
  • Full reaction scheme has been shown below

How many grams of NaOH are produced from 20.0 grams of Na2CO3?
natita [175]

Answer:

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

Ans: 15.1 grams

Given reaction:

Na2CO3 + Ca(OH)2 → 2NaOH + CaCO3

Mass of Na2CO3 = 20.0 g

Molar mass of Na2CO3 = 105.985 g/mol

# moles of Na2CO3 = 20/105.985 = 0.1887 moles

Based on the reaction stoichiometry: 1 mole of Na2CO3 produces 2 moles of NaOH

# moles of NaOH produced = 0.1887*2 = 0.3774 moles

Molar mass of NaOH = 22.989 + 15.999 + 1.008 = 39.996 g/mol

Mass of NaOH produced = 0.3774*39.996 = 15.09 grams
