Why must the ph ammonia buffer solution be stored and dispensed in the fume exhaust hood?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Vadim26 [7]3 years ago
7 0

On the other hand ammonia is a very dangerous chemical which has a pungent smell and effect the eyes of the user. Thus it kept always in the fume exhaust hood for storing and dispensing function.  

The  pH of ammonia buffer contains ammonium hydroxide (NH₄OH) and a salt of ammonia with a  strong acid like (HCl) which produces, ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) mixture. The evaporation rate of ammonia is so high at room temperature thus on opening of the buffer solution the ammonia get evaporated very fast and the concentration of ammonia decreases which affect the pH of the buffer solution.

Thus the reason to put ammonia buffer in fume hood is explained.

masha68 [24]

Answer:

The pH of the solution will be 7.53.

Explanation:

Dissociation constant of KClO=K_a=2.8\times 10^{-8}

Concentration of acid in 1 l= 0.30 M

Then in 200 ml = 0.30 M\times 0.200 L=0.06 M

The concentration of acid, HClO=[acid]= 0.006 M

Concentration of salt in 1 L = 0.20 M

Then in 300 ml = 0.20 M\times 0.300 L=0.06 M

The concentration of acid, KClO=[salt]= 0.006 M

The pH of the solution will be given by formula :

pH=pK_{a}^o+\log\frac{[salt]}{[acid]}

pH=-\log[2.8\times 10^{-8}]+\frac{[0.06 M]}{[0.06 M]}

The pH of the solution will be 7.53.

Write the complete ionic equations, spectator ions and net ionic equation for the following.
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

1) ZnBr₂ (aq) + AgNO₃ (aq)

Chemical equation:

 ZnBr₂ (aq) + AgNO₃ (aq)  →Zn(NO₃)₂(aq) + AgBr(s)

Balanced chemical equation:

ZnBr₂ (aq) + 2AgNO₃ (aq)  →Zn(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2AgBr(s)

Ionic equation:

Zn²⁺(aq) + Br₂²⁻ (aq) + 2Ag⁺ (aq)+ 2NO⁻₃ (aq)  → Zn²⁺(aq) +(NO₃)₂²⁻(aq) + 2AgBr(s)

Net ionic equation:

Br₂²⁻ (aq) + 2Ag⁺ (aq)   →    2AgBr(s)

The Zn²⁺((aq) and NO⁻₃ (aq) are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The AgBr can not be splitted into ions because it is present in solid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.

2) HgCl₂ (aq) + KI (aq)  →

Chemical equation:

HgCl₂ (aq) + KI (aq)  → KCl + HgI₂

Balanced chemical equation:

HgCl₂ (aq) + 2KI (aq)  → 2KCl(aq) + HgI₂(s)

Ionic equation:

Hg²⁺(aq)  + Cl₂²⁻  (aq) + 2K⁺(aq) + 2I⁻ (aq)  →  HgI₂ (s) + 2K⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻ (aq)

Net ionic equation:

Hg²⁺(aq)  + 2I⁻ (aq) →   HgI₂ (s)

The Cl⁻ ((aq)  and K⁺ (aq) are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The HgI₂ (s) can not be splitted into ions because it is present in solid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.

 

3) Ca(OH)₂ (aq) + Na₂SO₄ (aq)

Chemical equation:

Ca(OH)₂ (aq) + Na₂SO₄ (aq)  →   CaSO₄(s) + NaOH(aq)

Balanced chemical equation:

Ca(OH)₂ (aq) + Na₂SO₄ (aq)  →   CaSO₄(s) + 2NaOH(aq)

Ionic equation:

Ca²⁺(aq)  + OH₂²⁻  (aq) + 2Na⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻ (aq)  →   CaSO₄(s) + 2Na⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻ (aq)

Net ionic equation:

Ca²⁺(aq)   + SO₄²⁻ (aq)  →   CaSO₄(s)

The OH⁻ ((aq)  and Na⁺ (aq) are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The CaSO₄ can not be splitted into ions because it is present in solid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.
