Answer:

a. pH = 5.22

b. Acidic.

c. pH = 5.14

Explanation:

a. It is possible to find the pH of a buffer using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation (H-H equation):

pH = pKa + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

<em>Where pKa is -log Ka (For acetic acid =  4.74), [A⁻] is molar concentration of conjugate base (Acetate salt) and [HA] concentration of the weak acid (Acetic acid).</em>

Replacing:

pH = 4.74 + log₁₀ [0.600M] / [0.200M]

<em>You use the concentration of the acetic acid and sodium acetate because you're adding equal volumes, doing the ratio of the species the same</em>

<em />

<h3>pH = 5.22</h3><h3 />

b. As the solution has a pH lower that 7.0, it is considered as a <em>acidic solution.</em>

<em></em>

c. When you add HCl to the buffer, the reaction is:

CH₃COO⁻ + HCl → CH₃COOH + Cl⁻

<em>Where acetate ion reacts with the acid producing acetic acid.</em>

As you have 0.200L of the buffer, 0.100L are of the acetate ion and 0.100L of the acetic acid. Initial moles of both compounds and moles of HCl added are:

CH₃COO⁻: 0.100L ₓ (0.600mol / L) = 0.0600 moles

CH₃COOH: 0.100L ₓ (0.200mol / L) = 0.0200 moles

HCl: 3.0mL = 3x10⁻³L ₓ (0.034mol / L) =  0.00010 moles HCl

The moles added of HCl are the same moles you're consuming of acetate ion and producing of acetic acid. Thus, moles after the reaction are:

CH₃COO⁻: 0.0600 moles - 0.0001 moles = 0.0509 moles

CH₃COOH: 0.0200 moles + 0.0001 moles = 0.0201 moles

Replacing in H-H equation:

pH = 4.74 + log₁₀ [0.0509moles] / [0.0201moles]

<h3>pH = 5.14</h3>

What are the products of the following combustion reaction?<br><br> 2C2H2(g) + 5O2(g) →
kakasveta [241]
A combustion reaction of an  will generally produce CO2 and H20 -- carbon dioxide and water and/or an oxide

looking at the combustion material C2H2, you know that the end products will be CO2 and H20, so the question is how much of each will you get

well, look at the total amount of carbon atoms, 2 C2, which means a total of 4 carbon atoms in this reaction, since only CO2 has carbon atoms, that means there must be 4 CO2 as an end product and 4 CO2 will use up 4 of 5 O2 molecule leaving only 1 O2 molecule for the H2 reaction.

now O2 has a total of 2 oxygen molecules whereas H20 has only a single oxygen molecule, hence the end product must have 2 H20

check that the H atoms balance out on both sides

What property of water molecules allows water to dissolve many substances
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Its high polarity

Explanation:

Solvent is the that part of solution which is present in large proportion and have ability to dissolve the solute. In simplest form it is something in which other substance get dissolve. The most widely used solvent is water, other examples are toluene, acetone, ethanol, chloroform etc.

Water is called universal solvent because of high polarity all polar substance are dissolve in it. Hydrogen is less electronegative while oxygen is more electronegative and because of difference in electronegativity hydrogen carry the partial positive charge while oxygen carry partial negative charge.

Water create electrostatic interaction with other polar molecules. The negative end of water attract the positive end of polar molecules and positive end of water attract negative end of polar substance and in this way polar substance get dissolve in it.

Example:

when we stir the sodium chloride into water the cation Na⁺ ions are surrounded by the negative end of water i.e oxygen and anion Cl⁻ is surrounded by the positive end of water i.e hydrogen and in this way all salt is get dissolved.

Gaseous methanol (CH4O) reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas and liquid water. Balanced the equation using the l
NikAS [45]

Answer:

The sum of the coefficients in the balanced equation is 11

Explanation:

A reaction where an organic compound reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water is called combustion.

The balance reaction of combustion for methanol is:

2CH₃OH (l) + 3O₂(g) →  2CO₂(g)  +  4H₂O (g)

Coefficients from stoichiometry are 2, 3, 2 and 4

Sum =  2 + 3 + 2 + 4 = 11

Determine whether the following hydroxide ion concentrations ([OH−]) correspond to acidic, basic, or neutral solutions by estima
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

To do this, we will use the following expression to calculate the [H⁺]:

[H⁺] = Kw / [OH⁻]

[H⁺] is the same as [H₃O⁺]. So we have the [OH⁻] so, let's replace every value into the above expression to calculate the hydronium concentration and say if it's acidic, basic or neutral. This can be known because if the [H⁺] > 1x10⁻⁷ M the solution is acidic. If it's [H⁺] < 1x10⁻⁷ M the solution is basic, and if it's [H⁺] = 1x10⁻⁷ M the solution is neutral.

a) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 6x10⁻¹² = 1.67x10⁻³ M. Acidic.

b) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 9x10⁻⁹ = 1.11x10⁻⁶ M. Acidic.

c) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 8x10⁻¹⁰ = 1.25x10⁻⁵ M. Acidic.

d) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 7x10⁻¹³ = 0.0143 M. Acidic.

e) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 2x10⁻² = 5x10⁻¹³ M. Basic.

f) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 9x10⁻⁴ = 1.11x10⁻¹¹ M. Basic.

g) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 5x10⁻⁵ = 2x10⁻¹⁰ M. Basic.

h) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 1x10⁻⁷ = 1x10⁻⁷ M. Neutral.

Part B.

In this part, we'll use the following expression and replace the given values:

[OH⁻] = Kw / [H⁺]

Replacing the values:

[OH⁻] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 5.2x10⁻⁵

[OH⁻] = 1.92x10⁻¹⁰ M

PArt C:

In this case, we will use expression of part A, and replace the given values:

[H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 2.7x10⁻²

[H⁺] = 3.7x10⁻¹³ M

Will mark brainliest :) how many moles of a solute is present in 4.00 L of an 8.30 M solution?
andreev551 [17]

The answer is 33.2 moles of a solute is present in 4.00 L of an 8.30 M solution , Option A is correct .

<h3>What is Molarity ?</h3>

Molarity is defined as the amount of solute (in moles)in per litre of solution.

It is also known as molar concentration of a solution , It is expressed in mol/l

\rm M =\dfrac{moles \;of\; solute}{Volume \;of \;solution} \\\\\\\rm M = \dfrac{n}{V} \\

We can rearrange this equation to get the number of moles:

n= M * V

The molarity of solution is 8.3 M and the volume given is 4 litres

the moles will be n = 8.30 * 4 = 33.2 moles

Therefore 33.2 moles of a solute is present in 4.00 L of an 8.30 M solution , Option A is correct .
