Answer:

75mL

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

C6H8O7 + 3NaHCO3 → Na3C6H5O7 + 3CO2 + 3H2O

Step 2:

Conversion of 15g of baking soda (NaHCO3) to mole.

This is illustrated below:

Mass of NaHCO3 = 15g

Molar Mass of NaHCO3 = 23 + 1 + 12 + (16x3) = 23 + 1 + 12 + 48 = 84g/mol

Number of mole = Mass/Molar Mass

Number of mole of NaHCO3 = 15/84 = 0.179 mole

Step 3:

Determination of the number of mole of citric acid (C6H8O7) produced by the reaction. This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of C6H8O7 reacted with 3 moles of NaHCO3.

Therefore, Xmol of C6H8O7 will react with 0.179 mole of NaHCO3 i.e

Xmol of C6H8O7 = 0.179/3

Xmol of C6H8O7 = 0.06 mole.

Step 4:

Determination of the volume of C6H8O7 needed for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

Molarity of C6H8O7 = 0.8 M

Mole of C6H8O7 = 0.06

Volume =..?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Volume = mole /Molarity

Volume = 0.06/0.8

Volume = 0.075L

Converting 0.075L to mL, we have:

1L = 1000mL

Therefore 0.075L = 0.075 x 1000 = 75mL.

Therefore, 75mL of citric acid (C6H8O7) is needed for the reaction.

A student balanced the chemical equation Mg + O2 →MgO by writing Mg + O2 → MgO2. Was the equation balanced correctly? Explain yo
Amanda [17]

Explanation:

Charges on both magnesium and oxygen is 2. Though opposite in sign, they have equal charges so, both of them will be cancelled by each other.

As a result, formula of magnesium oxide is MgO and not MgO_{2}.

The student write the equation as Mg + O_2 \rightarrow MgO_2, it is not correct.

Therefore, given equation will be balanced as follows.

          2Mg + O_{2} \rightarrow 2MgO

Since, number of atoms on both reactant and product side are equal. Hence, this equation is completely balanced.

You wish to construct a buffer of pH=7.0. Which of the following weak acids (w/ corresponding conjugate base) would you select?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

C.) HOCl Ka=3.5x10^-8

Explanation:

In order to a construct a buffer of pH= 7.0 we need to find the pKa values of all the acids given below

we Know that

pKa= -log(Ka)

therefore

A) pKa of  HClO2 = -log(1.2 x 10^-2)

=1.9208

B) similarly PKa of HF= -log(7.2 x 1 0^-4)= 2.7644

C)  pKa of HOCl= -log(3.5 x 1 0^-8)= 7.45

D) pKa of HCN = -log(4 x 1 0^-10)=  9.3979

If we consider the  Henderson- Hasselbalch equation for the calculation of the pH of the buffer solution

The weak acid for making the buffer must have a pKa value near to the desired pH of the weak acid.

So, near to value, pH=7.0. , the only option is HOCl whose pKa value is 7.45.

Hence, HOCl will be chosen for buffer construction.

How much sucrose (g) do you need to weight in order to prepare 19.16 g of a 13.1 % (weight percent) solution?
Nonamiya [84]
<span>2.51 grams
   You want to prepare 19.16 g of some solution which will have 13.1% of it's mass being sucrose. So we just need to perform some simple multiplication: 19.16g * 0.131 = 2.50996g
   Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 2.51 g.</span>
