Calculate the concentration of acetic acid and acetate ion in a 0.2 M acetate buffer at pH 5. The p K a of acetic acid is 4.76

Chemistry
1 answer:
Levart [38]3 years ago

Answer:

[Acetic acid] = 0.07 M

[Acetate] = 0.13 M

Explanation:

pH of buffer = 5

pKa of acetic acid = 4.76

pH=p_{Ka} + log\frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}

Now using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation

5=4.76 + log\frac{[Acetate]}{[Acetic\;acid]}

log\frac{[Acetate]}{[Acetic\;acid]} = 0.24

\frac{[Acetate]}{[Acetic\;acid]} = 1.74  ....... (1)

It is given that,

[Acetate] + [Acetic acid] = 0.2 M     ....... (2)

Now solving both the above equations

[Acetate] = 1.74[Acetic acid]

Substitute the concentration of acetate ion in equation (2)

1.74[Acetic acid] + [Acetic acid] = 0.2 M

[Acetic acid] = 0.2/2.74 = 0.07 M

[Acetate] = 0.2 - 0.07 = 0.13 M

Explain how low atomspheric oxygen levels affected alligators growth in terms of celluar respiration
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Answer: Hyperoxic alligators show significantly lower breathing rates than their siblings in normoxic and hypoxic groups. Conversely, each breath supports greater oxygen consumption in hyperoxic animals than in other groups. Statistical significance between groups was calculated by ANOVA with post hoc Tukey-Kramer

A 25-mL solution of H2SO4 is completely neutralized by 18 mL of 1.0M NaOH. What is the concentration of the H2SO4?
Charra [1.4K]
There are several information's already given in the question. Based on the information's provided, the answer can be easily deduced.
V1 = 25 ml
     = 25/1000 liter
     = 0.025 liter
V2 = 18 ml
      = 18/1000 liter
      = 0.018 liter
M2 = 1.0 M
M1 = ?
Then
M1V1 = M2V2
M1 = M2V2/V1
      = (1 * 0.018)/0.025
      = 0.72 M
From the above deduction, it can be easily concluded that the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or option "A". I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your help.
