Answer:

[H₂A] = 0.2M

[HA⁻] = 0.8M

Explanation:

A compound with 2 ionizable groups has as equilbriums:

H₂A ⇄ HA⁻ + H⁺ ⇄ A²⁻ + H⁺

A pH of 6.8 is near to the first equilibrium:

H₂A ⇄ HA⁻ + H pKa = 6.2

To determine concentrations of the acid H₂A and conjugate base HA⁻ we use H-H equation:

pH = pKA + log [HA⁻] / [H₂A]

6.8 = 6.2 + log [HA⁻] / [H₂A]

0.6 = log [HA⁻] / [H₂A]

3.981 = [HA⁻] / [H₂A] <em>(1)</em>

As concentration of the buffer is 1.0M:

1M = [HA⁻] + [H₂A] <em>(2)</em>

Replacing (2) in (1):

3.981 = 1- [H₂A] / [H₂A]

3.981[H₂A] = 1 - [H₂A]

4.981 [H₂A] = 1

[H₂A] = 0.2M

And [HA] = 1M - 0.2M = 0.8M

Mercury chloride is a commercial fungicide. If the molar mass is 470 g/mol and the percent composition is 85.0% Hg and 15.0% Cl,
ElenaW [278]
Data: molar mass 470 g/mol

Percent composition:

Hg = 85.0%
Cl = 15.0%

Solution:

1)  Convert % to molar ratios

A. Base: 100 g

=> Hg = 85.0 g / 200.59 g/mol = 0.4235 mol

     Cl = 15.0 g / 35.45 g/mol = 0.4231 mol

B. divide by the higher number and round to whole number

Hg = 0.4325 / 0.4231 = 1.00

Cl = 0.4231 / 0.4231 = 1.00

=> Empirical formula = Hg Cl

2) Find the mass of the empirical formula:

HgCl: 200.59 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol = 236.04

3) Determine how many times is the empirical mass contained in the molecular mass:

470 g/mol / 236.04 = 1.99 ≈ 2

=> Molecular formula = Hg2 Cl2.

Empirical formula HgCl

A compound is found to have a molar mass of 598 g/mol. if 35.8 mg of the compound is dissolved in enough water to make 175 ml of
TiliK225 [7]
The computation for molarity is: 
(x) (0.175 L) = 0.0358 g / 598 g/mol 
x = 0.000342093 M 
Whereas the osmotic pressure calculation: 
pi = iMRT 
pi = (1) (0.000342093 mol/L) (0.08206 L atm / mol K) (298 K) 
pi = 0.0083655 atm 
Converting the answer to torr, will give us:
0.0083655 atm times (760 torr/atm) = 6.35778 torr 
which rounds off to 6.36 torr
