A student wishes to calculate the experimental value of Ksp for AgI. S/he follows the procedure in Part 3 and finds Ecell to be

0.839 V. S/he does not perform Part 2; instead, s/he uses the theoretical slope of the Nernst plot for an Ag/Ag+ concentration cell, as instructed by her/his TA; this value is −0.0591 V. (a) What is the concentration of Ag+(aq) in the saturated solution of AgI (i.e., [Ag+ ]dilute)? ([Ag+ ]conc = 1.0 ✕ 10−1 M.) M (b) Using [I− ] = 0.20 M, calculate the experimental Ksp. (c) Suppose s/he mistakenly uses 1.039 V as Ecell. How does this affect [Ag+ ]dilute? Will it be too high, too low, or unaffected?

Answer:

a)    [Ag+]dilute = 6.363  × 10⁻¹⁶ M  

b)    1.273 × 10⁻¹⁶

c)    2.629×10⁻¹⁹ M Thus; the value for  [Ag+ ]dilute will be too low

Explanation:

In an Ag | Ag+ concentration cell ,

The  anode reaction can be written as :

Ag ----> Ag+(dilute) + e-    &:

The  cathode reaction can be written as:

Ag+(concentrated) + e- ----> Ag

The  Overall Reaction : is

Ag+(concentrated) -----> Ag+(dilute)

However, the Standard Reduction potential of cell = E°cell = 0

( since both cathode and anode have same Ag+║Ag )

Also , given that the theoretical slope is - 0.0591 V

Therefore; the reduction potential of cell ; i.e

Ecell = E°cell - 0.0591 V × log ( [Ag+]dilute / [Ag+]concentrated )

0.839 V = 0 - 0.0591 V × log ( [Ag+]dilute / ( 1.0 × 10⁻¹ M ) )  

log ( [Ag+]dilute / ( 1.0 × 10⁻¹ M ) ) = - 14.1963  

[Ag+]dilute = \mathbf{10^{-14.1963} } × 1.0 × 10⁻¹ M

[Ag+]dilute = 6.363  × 10⁻¹⁶ M  

b)

AgI ----> Ag + (dilute) + I⁻

So , Solubility product = Ksp = [Ag⁺]dilute × [I⁻]  

= 6.363 × 10⁻¹⁶ M × 0.20 M  

= 1.273 × 10⁻¹⁶

c) If s/he mistakenly uses 1.039 V as Ecell; then the value for [Ag+]dilute will be :

Ecell = E°cell - 0.0591 V × log ( [Ag+]dilute / [Ag+]concentrated )

1.039 V = 0 - 0.0591 V × log ( [Ag+]dilute / ( 1.0 × 10⁻¹ M ) )  

log ( [Ag+]dilute / ( 1.0 × 10⁻¹ M ) ) = - 17.5804  

[Ag+]dilute = \mathbf{10^{-17.5804} } × 1.0 × 10⁻¹ M

[Ag+]dilute = 2.629×10⁻¹⁹ M

Thus, the value for  [Ag+ ]dilute will be too low

Anomalous data shows on a graph as a
KiRa [710]
Anomalous data on a graph would show up as say a very high or very low value which does not fit in with the normal values which may be background values.If it was a straight line graph then the anomalous point would plot well above or below the line or if it was a bar graph ie a histogram it would be much higher or lower than the surrounding data. In mineral exploration, anomalies are looked for in say geophysics or geochemistry data values for high or low magnetism or conductivity or high chemical values indicating the presence of valuable minerals at that point.

An aqueous solution contains 0.29 M of benzoic acid (HA) and 0.16 M of sodium benzoate (A-). If the pH of this solution was meas
Inga [223]

Answer:

pKa = 4.89.

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the <em>Henderson-Hasselbach equation</em>, which states:

pH = pKa + log \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

In this case [A⁻] is the concentration of sodium benzoate and [HA] is the concentration of benzoic acid.

We <u>input the given data</u>:

4.63 = pKa + log \frac{0.16}{0.29}

And <u>solve for pKa</u>:

pKa = 4.89
