A beaker with 155 mL of an acetic acid buffer with a pH of 5.000 is sitting on a benchtop. The total molarity of acid and conjug

ate base in this buffer is 0.100 M. A student adds 5.40 mL of a 0.490 M HCl solution to the beaker. How much will the pH change? The pKa of acetic acid is 4.740.

Answer:

ΔpH = 0.296

Explanation:

The equilibrium of acetic acid (CH₃COOH) in water is:

CH₃COOH ⇄ CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺

Henderson-Hasselbalch formula to find pH in a buffer is:

pH = pKa + log₁₀ [CH₃COO⁻] / [CH₃COOH]

Replacing with known values:

5.000 = 4.740 + log₁₀ [CH₃COO⁻] / [CH₃COOH]

0.260 =  log₁₀ [CH₃COO⁻] / [CH₃COOH]

1.820 = [CH₃COO⁻] / [CH₃COOH] <em>(1)</em>

As total molarity of buffer is 0.100M:

[CH₃COO⁻] + [CH₃COOH] = 0.100M <em>(2)</em>

Replacing (2) in (1):

1.820 = 0.100M - [CH₃COOH] / [CH₃COOH]

1.820[CH₃COOH] = 0.100M - [CH₃COOH]

2.820[CH₃COOH] = 0.100M

[CH₃COOH] = 0.100M / 2.820

[CH₃COOH] = <em>0.035M</em>

Thus: [CH₃COO⁻] = 0.100M - 0.035M = <em>0.065M</em>

5.40 mL of a 0.490 M HCl are:

0.0054L × (0.490mol / L) = 2.646x10⁻³ moles HCl.

Moles of CH₃COO⁻ are: 0.155L × (0.065mol / L) = 0.0101 moles

HCl reacts with CH₃COO⁻ thus:

HCl + CH₃COO⁻ → CH₃COOH

After reaction, moles of CH₃COO⁻ are:

0.0101 moles - 2.646x10⁻³ moles = <em>7.429x10⁻³ moles of CH₃COO⁻</em>

<em />

Moles of CH₃COOH  before reaction are: 0.155L × (0.035mol / L) = 5.425x10⁻³ moles of CH₃COOH. As reaction produce 2.646x10⁻³ moles of CH₃COOH, final moles are:

5.425x10⁻³ moles +  2.646x10⁻³ moles = <em>8.071x10⁻³ moles of CH₃COOH</em>. Replacing these values in Henderson-Hasselbalch formula:

pH = 4.740 + log₁₀ [7.429x10⁻³ moles] / [8.071x10⁻³ moles]

pH = 4.704

As initial pH was 5.000, change in pH is:

ΔpH = 5.000 - 4.740 = <em>0.296</em>

What is not a typical step when performing scientific research
Gelneren [198K]

The six steps of the scientific are:

1. State the question

2. Conduct research

3. Create a hypothesis

4. Perform the experiment

5. Analyze the data

6. Conclusion

So D. would be the correct answer, even though communicating the results could possibly be a step if it's required.

Table Salt or NaCl is composed of sodium and chlorine. While the individual elements of sodium and chlorine are very reactive, t
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Chlorine is more likely to steal a valence electron from sodium.

Explanation:

Sodium is number 11 on the periodic table with one valence electron. Belonging to the first group, it's one of the alkali metal, which are known to be highly reactive. Chlorine is number 17 with seven valence electrons, and it's in the second-to-last group of halogens--also very reactive.

Considering that elements with one valence electron are just about 100% likely to give up electrons to reach a stable state, sodium would be the element that is more likely to lose its valence electron to chlorine. In other words, chlorine would be the electron thief.
