A quantity of liquid methanol, CH 3OH, is introduced into a rigid 3.00-L vessel, the vessel is sealed, and the temperature is ra

ised to 500K. At this temperature, the methanol vaporizes and decomposes according to the reaction CH 3OH(g) CO(g) + 2 H 2(g), K c= 6.90×10 –2. If the concentration of H 2 in the equilibrium mixture is 0.426M, what mass of methanol was initially introduced into the vessel?

Answer:

74.3g of methanol were introduced into the vessel

Explanation:

In the equilibrium:

CH₃OH(g) ⇄ CO(g) + 2H₂(g)

Kc is defined as the ratio between concentrations in equilibrium of :

Kc = 6.90x10⁻² = [CO] [H₂]² / [CH₃OH]

Some methanol added to the vessel will react producing H₂ and CO. And equilibrium concentrations must be:

[CH₃OH] = ? - X

[CO] = X

[H₂] = 2X

<em>Where ? is the initial concentration of methanol</em>

As [H₂] = 2X = 0.426M; X = 0.213M

<em>[CH₃OH] = ? - 0.213M</em>

[CO] = 0.213M

[H₂] = 0.426M

Replacing in Kc to solve equilibrium concentration of methanol:

6.90x10⁻² = [0.213] [0.426]² / [CH₃OH]

[CH₃OH] = 0.560

As:

[CH₃OH] = ? - 0.213M = 0.560M

? = 0.773M

0.7733M was the initial concentration of methanol. As volume of vessel is 3.00L, moles of methanol are:

3.00L * (0.773 mol / L) = 2.319 moles methanol.

Using molar mass of methanol (32.04g/mol), initial mass of methanol added was:

2.319 moles * (32.04g / mol) =

<h3>74.3g of methanol were introduced into the vessel</h3>

An analytical chemist is titrating of a solution of propionic acid with a solution of 224.9 ml of a 0.6100M solution of propioni
Svetllana [295]

<u>Answer:</u> The pH of acid solution is 4.58

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}    .....(1)

  • <u>For KOH:</u>

Molarity of KOH solution = 1.1000 M

Volume of solution = 41.04 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

1.1000M=\frac{\text{Moles of KOH}\times 1000}{41.04}\\\\\text{Moles of KOH}=\frac{1.1000\times 41.04}{1000}=0.04514mol

  • <u>For propanoic acid:</u>

Molarity of propanoic acid solution = 0.6100 M

Volume of solution = 224.9 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.6100M=\frac{\text{Moles of propanoic acid}\times 1000}{224.9}\\\\\text{Moles of propanoic acid}=\frac{0.6100\times 224.9}{1000}=0.1372mol

The chemical reaction for propanoic acid and KOH follows the equation:

                 C_2H_5COOH+KOH\rightarrow C_2H_5COOK+H_2O

<u>Initial:</u>          0.1372         0.04514  

<u>Final:</u>           0.09206          -                0.04514

Total volume of solution = [224.9 + 41.04] mL = 265.94 mL = 0.26594 L     (Conversion factor:  1 L = 1000 mL)

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{salt}]}{[acid]})

pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[C_2H_5COOK]}{[C_2H_5COOH]})

We are given:  

pK_a = negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of propanoic acid = 4.89

[C_2H_5COOK]=\frac{0.04514}{0.26594}

[C_2H_5COOH]=\frac{0.09206}{0.26594}

pH = ?  

Putting values in above equation, we get:

pH=4.89+\log(\frac{(0.04514/0.26594)}{(0.09206/0.26594)})\\\\pH=4.58

Hence, the pH of acid solution is 4.58
