What quantity of potassium phosphate, in grams, is required to prepare 500.0 ml of solution where you the concentration of potas

sium is 0.100 M.
I did this problem and I got 10.6 grams but my computer says I did wrong. what steps am I missing. I'm confused now because I converted potassium to potassium phosphate.

Answer: 3.54

Explanation:

You're forgetting to divide by 3 for the 3 moles of potassium that are in potassium phosphate.

Potassium Phosphate= K3PO4

What is the ph of a buffer prepared by adding 0.809 mol of the weak acid ha to 0.608 mol of naa in 2.00 l of solution? The disso

Anarel [89]

The pH of the buffer is 6.1236.

Explanation:

The strength of any acid solution can be obtained by determining their pH. Even the buffer solution strength of the weak acid can be determined using pH. As the dissociation constant is given, we can determine the pKa value as the negative log of dissociation constant value.

$pKa=-log[H] = - log [ 5.66 * 10^{-7}]\\ \\pka = 7 - log (5.66)=7-0.753=6.247\\\\pka = 6.247$

The pH of the buffer can be known as

$pH = pK_{a} + log[\frac{[A-]}{[HA]}}]$

The concentration of $[A^{-}] = Moles of [A]/Total volume = 0.608/2 = 0.304 M\\$

Similarly, the concentration of [HA] = $\frac{Moles of HA}{Total volume} = \frac{0.809}{2} = 0.404$

Then the pH of the buffer will be

pH = 6.247 + log [ 0.304/0.404]

$pH = 6.247 + log 0.304 - log 0.404=6.247-0.517+0.3936=6.1236$

So, the pH of the buffer is 6.1236.

Use the periodic table to determine the electron configuration for Ca and Pm in noble-gas notation Ca: [Ar]4s2 [Ar]4s1 [Ar]3s2 [

sveta [45]

Answer:

1) Ca: [Ar]4s²
2) Pm: [Xe]6s²4f⁵

Explanation:

1) Ca:

Its atomic number is 20. So it has 20 protons and 20 electrons.

Since it is in the row (period) 4 the noble gas before it is Ar, and the electron configuration is that of Argon whose atomic number is 18.

So, you have two more electrons (20 - 18 = 2) to distribute.

Those two electrons go the the orbital 4s.

Finally, the electron configuration is [Ar] 4s².

2) Pm

The atomic number of Pm is 61, so it has 61 protons and 61 electrons.

Pm is in the row (period) 6. So, the noble gas before Pm is Xe.

The atomic number of Xe is 54.

Therefore, you have to distribute 61 - 54 = 7 electrons on the orbitals 6s and 4f.

The resultant distribution for Pm is: [Xe]6s² 4f⁵.

(a) What is the total volume (in L) of gaseous products, measured at 350°C and 735 torr, when an automobile engine burns 100. g

Anarel [89]

Answer:

Part A

The volume of the gaseous product is $V = 787L$

Part B

The volume of the the engine’s gaseous exhaust is $V_e = 2178 \ L$

Explanation:

Part A

From the question we are told that

The temperature is $T = 350^oC = 350 +273 =623K$

The pressure is $P = 735 \ torr = \frac{735}{760} = 0.967\ atm$

The of $C_8 H_{18} = 100.0g$

The chemical equation for this combustion is

$2 C_8 H_{18}_{(l)} + 25O_2_{(l)} ----> 16CO_2_{(g)} + 18 H_2 O_{(g)}$

The number of moles of $C_8 H_{18}$ that reacted is mathematically represented as

$n = \frac{mass \ of \ C_8H_{18} }{Molar \ mass \ of C_8H_{18} }$

The molar mass of $C_8 H_{18}$ is constant value which is

$M = 114.23 \ g/mole$

So $n = \frac{100 }{114.23} }$

$n = 0.8754 \ moles$

The gaseous product in the reaction is $CO_2_{(g)}$ and water vapour

Now from the reaction

2 moles of $C_8 H_{18}$ will react with 25 moles of $O_2$ to give (16 + 18) moles of $CO_2_{(g)}$ and $H_2 O_{(g)}$

So

1 mole of $C_8 H_{18}$ will react with 12.5 moles of $O_2$ to give 17 moles of $CO_2_{(g)}$ and $H_2 O_{(g)}$

This implies that

0.8754 moles of $C_8 H_{18}$ will react with (12.5 * 0.8754 ) moles of $O_2$ to give (17 * 0.8754) of $CO_2_{(g)}$ and $H_2 O_{(g)}$

So the no of moles of gaseous product is

$N_g = 17 * 0.8754$

$N_g = 14.88 \ moles$

From the ideal gas law

$PV = N_gRT$

making V the subject

$V = \frac{N_gRT}{P}$

Where R is the gas constant with a value $R = 0.08206 \ L\cdot atm /K \cdot mole$

Substituting values

$V = \frac{14.88* 0.08206 *623}{0.967}$

$V = 787L$

Part B

From the reaction the number of moles of oxygen that reacted is

$N_o = 0.8754 * 12.5$

$N_o = 10.94 \ moles$

The volume is

$V_o = \frac{10.94 * 0.08206 *623}{0.967}$

$V_o = 579 \ L$

No this volume is the 21% oxygen that reacted the 79% of air that did not react are the engine gaseous exhaust and this can be mathematically evaluated as

$V_e = V_o * \frac{0.79}{0.21}$

Substituting values

$V_e = 579 * \frac{0.79}{0.21}$

$V_e = 2178 \ L$
