In an isotope, which subatomic particle varies in number ?

A buffer consists of 0.120 M HNO2 and 0.150 M NaNO2 at 25°C. pka of HNO2 is 3.40. a. What is the pH of the buffer? b. What is th

Mashcka [7]

Explanation:

It is known that $K_{a}$ of $HNO_{2}$ = $4.5 \times 10^{-4}$ .

(a) Relation between $K_{a}$ and $pK_{a}$ is as follows.

$pK_{a} = -log (K_{a})$

Putting the values into the above formula as follows.

$pK_{a} = -log (K_{a})$

= $-log(4.5 \times 10^{-4})$

= 3.347

Also, relation between pH and $pK_{a}$ is as follows.

pH = $pK_{a} + log\frac{[conjugate base]}{[acid]}$

= $3.347+ log \frac{0.15}{0.12}$

= 3.44

Therefore, pH of the buffer is 3.44.

(b) No. of moles of HCl added = $Molarity \times volume$

= $11.6 M \times 0.001 L$

= 0.0116 mol

In the given reaction, $NO^{-}_{2}$ will react with $H^{+}$ to form $HNO_{2}$

Hence, before the reaction:

No. of moles of $NO^{-}_{2}$ = $0.15 M \times 1.0 L$

= 0.15 mol

And, no. of moles of $HNO_{2}$ = $0.12 M \times 1.0 L$

= 0.12 mol

On the other hand, after the reaction :

No. of moles of $NO^{-}_{2}$ = moles present initially - moles added

= (0.15 - 0.0116) mol

= 0.1384 mol

Moles of $HNO_{2}$ = moles present initially + moles added

= (0.12 + 0.0116) mol

= 0.1316 mol

As, $K_{a}$ = $4.5 \times 10^{-4}$

$pK_{a} = -log (K_{a})$

= $-log(4.5 \times 10^{-4})$

= 3.347

Since, volume is both in numerator and denominator, we can use mol instead of concentration.

As, pH = $pK_{a} + log \frac{[conjugate base]}{[acid]}$

= 3.347+ log {0.1384/0.1316}

= 3.369

= 3.37 (approx)

Thus, we can conclude that pH after the addition of 1.00 mL of 11.6 M HCl to 1.00 L of the buffer solution is 3.37.

How many moles of water are produced if 5.43 mol PbO2 are consumed

Mariana [72]

It has to be understood that 2 moles of oxygen are there in each mole of PbO2. Then it has to be calculated for 2 moles of oxygen.

Amount of oxygen = 2 * 5.43 moles
= 10.86 moles
Now it is also a fact that each mole of H2O contains 1 mole of oxygen. Then it can be easily concluded that 10.86 moles of water will be produced. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

Why is concentrated sodium hydroxide preferred than water

mariarad [96]

Answer:

Sodium hydroxide is a highly caustic base and alkali that decomposes proteins at ordinary ambient temperatures and may cause severe chemical burns. It is highly soluble in water, and readily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air. It forms a series of hydrates NaOH·nH

2O.[11] The monohydrate NaOH·H

2O crystallizes from water solutions between 12.3 and 61.8 °C. The commercially available "sodium hydroxide" is often this monohydrate, and published data may refer to it instead of the anhydrous compound.

As one of the simplest hydroxides, sodium hydroxide is frequently utilized alongside neutral water and acidic hydrochloric acid to demonstrate the pH scale to chemistry students.[12]

Sodium hydroxide is used in many industries: in the manufacture of pulp and paper, textiles, drinking water, soaps and detergents, and as a drain cleaner. Worldwide production in 2004 was approximately 60 million tons, while demand was 51 million tons.[13]
