What volumes of 0.200 M HCOOH and 2.00 M NaOH would make 500. mL of a buffer with the same pH as a buffer made from 475 mL of 0.

200 M benzoic acid and 25 mL of 2.00 M NaOH? Look up Ka values on the formula sheet.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

      [HCOOH] = 0.2 M,       [NaOH] = 2.0 M,

         V = 500 ml,   [Benzoic acid] = 0.2 M

First, we will calculate the number of moles of benzoic acid as follows.

   No. of moles of benzoic acid = Molarity × Volume

                         = 2 \times 0.475

                         = 0.095 mol

And, moles of NaOH present in the solution will be as follows.

    No. of moles of NaOH = Molarity × Volume

                          = 2 \times 0.025

                          = 0.05 mol

Hence, the ICE table for the chemical equation will be as follows.

         C_{6}H_{5}COOH + NaOH \rightarrow C_{6}H_{5}COONa + H_{2}O

Initial:        0.095           0.05            0             0

Equlbm:  (0.095 - 0.05)  0            0.05

        pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{Base}{Acid}  

              = 4.2 + log \frac{0.05}{0.045}

              = 4.245

For,  

         HCOOH + NaOH \rightarrow HCOONa + H_{2}O

Initial:       0.2x     2(0.5 - x)               0

Equlbm:   0.2x - 2(0.5 - x)                 0             2(0.5 - x)

As,

           pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{Base}{Acid}  

          4.245 = 3.75 + log \frac{Base}{Acid}

      log \frac{Base}{Acid} = 0.5

    \frac{Base}{Acid} = 3.162

Now,

        \frac{2(0.5 - x)}{0.2x - 2(0.5 - x)} = 3.162

               x = 0.464 L

Volume of NaOH = (0.5 - 0.464) L

                             = 0.036 L

                             = 36 ml               (as 1 L = 1000 mL)

And, volume of formic acid is 464 mL.

Sugar is easily soluble in water and has a molar mass of 342.30 g/mol. What is the molar concentration of a 259.8 mL aqueous sol
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

M=0.822M

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the mathematical definition of molar concentration as the moles of solute divided by the liters of solution:

M=\frac{n}{V}

We can easily compute it by firstly computing the moles of sugar by using its molar mass:

n=73.1g*\frac{1mol}{342.30g} =0.214mol

After that, we compute the concentration by realizing 259.8 mL equals 0.2598 L:

M=\frac{0.214mol}{0.2598L}\\ \\M=0.822mol/L

Or just:

M=0.822M

Considering molar units as mol/L

Best regards.

Ascorbic acid (vitamin
svlad2 [7]

Let us see the structure of ascorbic acid


As shown there is no COOH group however the OH group can lose a proton and forms conjugate base

The conjugate base formed is stabilized due to resonance

More the stability of conjugate base more the strength of acid

Hence ascorbic acid behaves as an acid
