A buffer solution contains 0.240 M ammonium chloride and 0.499 M ammonia. If 0.0565 moles of perchloric acid are added to 250 mL

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The pH of the resulting solution is 9.02.

Explanation:

The initial pH of the buffer solution can be found using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

$pOH = pKb + log(\frac{[NH_{4}Cl]}{[NH_{3}]})$

$pOH = -log(1.78\cdot 10^{-5}) + log(\frac{0.240}{0.499}) = 4.43$

$pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 4.43 = 9.57$

Now, the perchloric acid added will react with ammonia:

$n_{NH_{3}} = 0.499moles/L*0.250 L - 0.0565 moles = 0.0683 moles$

Also, the moles of ammonium chloride will increase in the same quantity according to the following reaction:

NH₃ + H₃O⁺ ⇄ NH₄⁺ + H₂O

$n_{NH_{4}Cl} = 0.240 moles/L*0.250L + 0.0565 moles = 0.1165 moles$

Finally, we can calculate the pH of the resulting solution:

$pOH = pKb + log(\frac{[NH_{4}Cl]}{[NH_{3}]})$

$pOH = -log(1.78\cdot 10^{-5}) + log(\frac{0.1165 moles/0.250 L}{0.0683 moles/0.250 L}) = 4.98$

$pH = 14 - 4.98 = 9.02$

Therefore, the pH of the resulting solution is 9.02.

I hope it helps you!

How many nitrogen atoms are in 2 formula units of magnesium nitrate?

nadya68 [22]

Answer is: 4 atoms of nitrogen.
One formula unit of magnesium nitrate (Mg(NO₃)₂) has two atoms of nitrogen, so two formula units of magnesium nitrate will have four atoms of nitrogen (2·2=4).
Oxidation number of magnesium in magnesium nitrate is +2 and oxidation number of nitrate anion is -1 (2·(-1) = -2).

Consider the reaction for the combustion of benzene: 2 C6H6(g) 15 O2(g) ---> 12 CO2(g) 6 H2O(l) What mass of H2O is produced

irakobra [83]

Answer: Mass of water produced is 17.3 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For benzene:

Given mass of benzene = 25.0 g

Molar mass of benzene= 78 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of benzene}=\frac{25.0g}{78g/mol}=0.32mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction follows:

$2C_6H_6(g)+15O_2(g)\rightarrow 12CO_2(g)+6H_2O(l)$

As, oxygen is an excess reagent. Thus benzene is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of benzene produces 6 moles of water

So, 0.32 moles of benzene will produce = $\frac{6}{2}\times 0.32=0.96moles$ of water

Now, calculating the mass of water from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of water= 18 g/mol

Moles of water = 0.96moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.96mol=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{18g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=17.3g$

Thus mass of water produced is 17.3 grams
