An analytical chemist weighs out 0.055g of an unknown triprotic acid into a 250mL volumetric flask and dilutes to the mark with

distilled water. She then titrates this solution with 0.1300M NaOH solution. When the titration reaches the equivalence point, the chemist finds she has added 6.6mL of NaOH solution. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown acid. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

Mass of the unknown acid is 4.0g

Explanation:

The determine the molar mass of the unknown acid, the steps below can be followed

Firstly, determine the concentration of the acid, the formula below can be used;

ConcA × Va/ConcB × Vb = Na/Nb

Where ConcA is the concentration of the unknown acid

ConcB is the concentration of the NaOH base

Va is the volume of acid and Vb is the volume of base

Since, the titration was said to have reached an equivalent point, it means the number of moles of the acid (Na) was equal to the number of moles of the base (Nb) and thus both will be assumed to be 1

Thus

ConcA × 250/0.13 × 6.6 = 1/1

ConcA = 0.13 × 6.6/250

ConcA = 0.003432M

Then, determine the actual number of moles (n) of the unknown acid used,

ConcA = no of moles of acid/volume of acid (in dm³ or L)

To convert mL to L, we divide by 1000

Hence, 250ml = 0.25L

0.003432 = n/0.25

n = 0.003432 × 0.25

n = 0.01373 moles

To determine the molar mass;

n = mass/molar mass

The mass was given in the question to be 0.055g

Thus

0.01373 = 0.055/molar mass

molar mass = 0.055/0.01373

molar mass = 4.0g

Explain what will happen to the organisms that is affected by human activities.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Human activity is by far the biggest cause of habitat loss.

Humans are now responsible for causing changes in the environment that hurt animals and plant species. We take up more space on Earth for our homes and cities. We pollute habitats. ... Human activity often changes or destroys the habitats that plants and animals need to survive.

Explanation:

Human activities are the various actions for recreation, living, or necessity done by people. For instance it includes leisure, entertainment, industry, recreation, war, and exercise.

Over time, destruction of such habitats leads to reduced biodiversity, weakening the Earth's ecosystems, and ultimately posing a major threat to human life. While, significant tracts of habitat have been lost, and along with them many species of plant and animal, steps can be taken to slow and even reverse the process.

One of the most significant ways in which humans have impacted on the lives of other species is by causing climate change. Many animals, including birds and frogs, now breed much earlier in spring in Britain than they did 20 years ago. Whether or not this is having a harmful effect on them has yet to be determined.

As part of a soil analysis on a plot of land, a scientist wants to determine the ammonium content using gravimetric analysis wit

Answer:

Mass percentage of NH₄Cl = 3.54%

Mass percentage of K₂CO₃ = 1.01%

Explanation:

If a 200.0 mL aliquot produced  0.105 g of KB(C₆H₅)₄, then a 100.0 mL aliquot would produce 1/2 * 0.105 g = 0.0525 g of KB(C₆H₅)₄.

Therefore, mass of NH₄B(C₆H₅)₄ in the 100.0 ml aliquot = (0.277 - 0.0525)g = 0.2245 g

Number of moles of NH₄B(C₆H₅)₄ in 0.2245 g = 0.2245 g/ 337.27 g/mol = 0.0006656 moles

In 500 ml solution, number of moles present = 0.0006656 * 500/100 = 0.003328 moles.

From equation of the reaction; mole ratio of  NH₄⁺ and NH₄B(C₆H₅)₄ = 1:1

Similarly, mole ratio of  NH₄⁺ and NH₄Cl = 1:1

Therefore, moles of NH₄Cl in 500 ml sample = 0.003328 moles

Mass of NH₄Cl  = 0.003328 mol * 53.492 g/mol = 0.178 g

Mass percentage of NH₄Cl = (0.178/5.025) * 100% = 3.54%

Number of moles of KB(C₆H₅)₄ in 0.105 g (precipitated from 200.0 ml aliquot) = 0.105 g/ 358.33 g/mol = 0.000293 moles

In 500 ml solution, number of moles present = 0.000293 * 500/200 = 0.0007326 moles.

From equation of the reaction; mole ratio of  K⁺ and KB(C₆H₅)₄ = 1:1

Similarly, mole ratio of  K⁺ and K₂CO₃ = 2:1

Therefore, moles of K₂CO₃ in 500 ml sample = 0.0007326/2 moles =  0.0003663 moles

Mass of  K₂CO₃ = 0.0003663 mol * 138.21 g/mol = 0.05063 g

Mass percentage of K₂CO₃ = (0.05063/5.025) * 100% = 1.01%
