Tris is a molecule that can be used to prepare buffers for biochemical experiments. It exists in two forms: Tris (a base) and Tr

isH (an acid). The MW of Tris base is 121.14 g/mol; the MW of TrisH is 157.6 g/mol (the extra weight is due to the Cl- counterion that is present in the acid). The Ka of the acid is 8.32 X 10-9. Assume that you have TrisH in solid form (a powder), unlimited 1M HCl, 1 M NaOH and distilled water. How would you prepare 1 L of a 0.02 M Tris Buffer, pH?

Solution :

For the reaction :

$\text{TrisH}^+ + H_2O \rightarrow \text{Trish}^- + H_3O^+$

we have

$Ka = \frac{[\text{Tris}^- \times H_3O]}{\text{Tris}^+}$

   $=\frac{x^2}{0.02 -x}$

  $=8.32 \times 10^{-9}$

Clearing $x$, we have $x = 1.29 \times 10^{-5} \text{ moles of acid}$

So to reach $\text{pH} = 7.8 (\text{pOH}= 14-7.8=6.2)$, one must have the $\text{OH}^-$ concentration of the :

$\text{[OH}^-]=10^{-pOH} = 6.31 \times 10^{-7} \text{ moles of base}$

So we can add enough of 1 M NaOH in order to neutralize the acid that is calculated above and also adding the calculated base.

$\text {n NaOH}=1.29 \times 10^{-5}+6.31 \times 10^{-7}$

            $= 1.35 \times 10^{-5} \text{ moles}$

Volume NaOH $= 1.35 \times 10^{-5} \text{ moles} \times \frac{1000 \text{ mL}}{1 \text{ mol}} = 0.0135 \text{ mL}$

Tris mass $H^+ = 0.02 \text{ mol} \times 157.6 \text{ g/mol}=3.152 \text{ g}$

Now to prepare the said solution we must mix:

$3.152 \text{ g Tris H} + 0.0135 \text{ mL NaOH} \ 1 M$ gauge to 1000 mL with water.

If 3.5 grams of NaN3 decomposed, how many grams of N2 would be produced?
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

5.25 moles.

Explanation:

The decomposition reaction of NaN₃ is as follows :

2NaN_3(s)\rightarrow 2Na(s)+3N_2(g)

We need to find how many grams of N₂ produced in the process.

From the above balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that the ratio of moles of sodium azide and nitrogen gas are 2 : 3.

2 moles of sodium azide decomposes to give 3 moles of nitrogen gas. So,

3.5 moles of sodium azide decomposes to give \dfrac{3}{2}\times 3.5=5.25 moles of nitrogen gas.

Hence, the number of moles produced is 5.25 moles.

The equilibrium constant Kp for the reaction (CH3),CCI (g) = (CH3),C=CH, (g) + HCl (g) is 3.45 at 500. K. (5.00 x 10K) Calculate
Karolina [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The value of K_p for the reaction is 6.32 and concentrations of (CH_3)_2C=CH,HCl\text{ and }(CH_3)_3CCl is 0.094 M, 0.094 M and 0.106 M respectively.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Relation of K_p with K_c is given by the formula:

K_p=K_c(RT)^{\Delta ng}

where,

K_p = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = 3.45

K_c = equilibrium constant in terms of concentration = ?

R = Gas constant = 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

T = temperature = 500 K

\Delta n_g = change in number of moles of gas particles = n_{products}-n_{reactants}=2-1=1

Putting values in above equation, we get:

3.45=K_c\times (0.0821\times 500)^{1}\\\\K_c=\frac{3.45}{0.0821\times 500}=0.084

The equation used to calculate concentration of a solution is:

\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Moles}}{\text{Volume (in L)}}

Initial moles of (CH_3)_3CCl(g) = 1.00 mol

Volume of the flask = 5.00 L

So, \text{Concentration of }(CH_3)_3CCl=\frac{1.00mol}{5.00L}=0.2M

For the given chemical reaction:

                (CH_3)_3CCl(g)\rightarrow (CH_3)_2C=CH(g)+HCl(g)

Initial:               0.2                    -                        -

At Eqllm:          0.2 - x               x                       x

The expression of K_c for above reaction follows:

K_c=\frac{[(CH_3)_2C=CH]\times [HCl]}{[(CH_3)_3CCl]}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.084=\frac{x\times x}{0.2-x}\\\\x^2+0.084x-0.0168=0\\\\x=0.094,-0.178

Negative value of 'x' is neglected because initial concentration cannot be more than the given concentration

Calculating the concentration of reactants and products:

[(CH_3)_2C=CH]=x=0.094M

[HCl]=x=0.094M

[(CH_3)_3CCl]=(0.2-x)=(0.2-0.094)=0.106M

Hence, the value of K_p for the reaction is 6.32 and concentrations of (CH_3)_2C=CH,HCl\text{ and }(CH_3)_3CCl is 0.094 M, 0.094 M and 0.106 M respectively.
