Answer:
pH = 2.69
Explanation:
The complete question is:<em> An analytical chemist is titrating 182.2 mL of a 1.200 M solution of nitrous acid (HNO2) with a solution of 0.8400 M KOH. The pKa of nitrous acid is 3.35. Calculate the pH of the acid solution after the chemist has added 46.44 mL of the KOH solution to it.</em>

The reaction of HNO₂ with KOH is:
HNO₂ + KOH → NO₂⁻ + H₂O + K⁺
Moles of HNO₂ and KOH that react are:
HNO₂ = 0.1822L × (1.200mol / L) = <em>0.21864 moles HNO₂</em>
KOH = 0.04644L × (0.8400mol / L) = <em>0.0390 moles KOH</em>
That means after the reaction, moles of HNO₂ and NO₂⁻ after the reaction are:
NO₂⁻ = 0.03900 moles KOH = moles NO₂⁻
HNO₂ = 0.21864 moles HNO₂ - 0.03900 moles = 0.17964 moles HNO₂
It is possible to find the pH of this buffer (<em>Mixture of a weak acid, HNO₂ with the conjugate base, NO₂⁻), </em>using H-H equation for this system:
pH = pKa + log₁₀ [NO₂⁻] / [HNO₂]
pH = 3.35 + log₁₀ [0.03900mol] / [0.17964mol]
<h3>pH = 2.69</h3>
K because parent atoms are always larger than their cations(positively charged atoms)
Answer:
Explanation:
For the reaction
C2H5OH (l) + 3 O2(g) = 2CO2(g) + 3 H2O
We can calculate the standard molar enthalpy of combustion using the standard enthalpies of formation of the species involved in the reaction according to Hess law:
ΔHºc = 2ΔHºf CO2 (g) + 3ΔHºfH2O(l) - ( ΔHºf C2H5OH (l) - 3ΔHºfO2 (g) )
( we were not give the water state but we know we are at standard conditions so it is in its liquid state )
The ΔHºfs can be found in appropiate reference or texts.
ΔHºc = 2ΔHºf CO2 (g)+ 3ΔHºfH2O(l) - ( ΔHºf C2H5OH (l) -+3ΔHºfO2 (g) )
= [ 2 ( -393.52 ) + 3 ( -285.83 ) ] - [( -276.2 + 0 ) ] kJ
ΔHºc = -1368.33 kJ
