Answer:

The correct answer is 574.59 grams.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the number of moles of NH₃ will be,  

= 2.50 L × 0.800 mol/L

= 2 mol

The given pH of a buffer is 8.53

pH + pOH = 14.00

pOH = 14.00 - pH

pOH = 14.00 - 8.53

pOH = 5.47

The Kb of ammonia given is 1.8 * 10^-5. Now pKb = -logKb,  

= -log (1.8 ×10⁻⁵)

= 5.00 - log 1.8

= 5.00 - 0.26

= 4.74

Based on Henderson equation:  

pOH = pKb + log ([salt]/[base])

pOH = pKb + [NH₄⁺]/[NH₃]

5.47 = 4.74 + log ([NH₄⁺]/[NH₃])

log([NH₄⁺]/[NH₃]) = 5.47-4.74 = 0.73

[NH₄⁺]/[NH₃] = 10^0.73= 5.37

[NH₄⁺ = 5.37 × 2 mol = 10.74 mol

Now the mass of dry ammonium chloride required is,  

mass of NH₄Cl = 10.74 mol × 53.5 g/mol

= 574.59 grams.

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

The impurity which is present in the solution of copper sulphate (CuSO4) is determined by the an instrument known as spectrophotometer.

Explanation:

Spectrophotometer is a device or an instrument which is used to determine the concentration of a chemical by measuring the detection of light intensity that is coming from the solution. If the solution of copper sulphate is checked through spectrophotometer, we can can determined or measure the amount of copper sulphate and the impurity in the solution.

Which of the following has the smallest radius Rb+, K, K+, or Rb+
Stells [14]
The trend of elemental radius increases from top to bottom and from right to left. This means Rb is greater than K. Incorporating the positive charges, K+ is smaller than K and Rb+ is smaller than Rb. Thus, the trend in increasing order is K+,K,Rb+,Rb.

Margarita [4]
Burning of the candle is both physical and chemical change.burning of the candle causes the candle to melt the wax.so the wax has changed it was solid now it is liquid.the wax combines with the atmospheric oxygen and changes to carbon dioxide,heat and light.thus both the changes are accompanied by the burning of the candle.

vichka [17]

Answer:

D +405.0kJ mol-¹

Explanation:

Since bond energy is the energy required to break a bond, the energy of dissociation of X₂H₆ = +2775 kJmol⁻¹.

Since there is one X-X bond and six X-H bonds,

Bond energy of one X-X bond + Bond energy of six X-H bonds = energy of dissociation of X₂H₆.

Since bond energy of one X-H bond = 395 kJ mol⁻¹, then

Bond energy of one X-X bond + Bond energy of six X-H bonds = energy of dissociation of X₂H₆

Bond energy of one X-X bond + 6 × one X-H bond = +2775 kJmol⁻¹.

Bond energy of one X-X bond + 6 × 395 kJ mol⁻¹ = +2775 kJmol⁻¹.

Bond energy of one X-X bond + 2370 kJ mol⁻¹ = 2775 kJmol⁻¹

Bond energy of one X-X bond = 2775 kJmol⁻¹ - 2370 kJ mol⁻¹

Bond energy of one X-X bond = +405 kJmol⁻¹

Why are fossils not found in igneous or metamorphic rocks?
xenn [34]

Answer:

Because the rock underwent lava and heat/pressure transformation. They are cooled and heated by magma, and then under go pressure. No fossils would be found in those.

Hope this helps! :)
