Answer:

pH = 10.9

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to say that the undergoing reaction between this buffer and OH⁻ promotes the formation of more CO₃²⁻ because it acts as the base, we can do the following:

n_{CO_3^{2-}}=0.34mol/L*0.250L+0.0585mol=0.1435mol\\\\n_{HCO_3^{-}}=0.34mol/L*0.250L-0.0585mol=0.0265mol

The resulting concentrations are:

[CO_3^{2-}]=\frac{0.1435mol}{0.25L}=0.574M \\

[HCO_3^{-}]=\frac{0.0265mol}{0.25L}=0.106M

Thus, since the pKa of this buffer system is 10.2, the change in the pH would be:

pH=10.2+log(\frac{0.574M}{0.106M} )\\\\pH=10.9

Which makes sense since basic OH⁻ ions were added.

Regards!

The combustion of 3.795 mg of liquid B, which contains only C, H, and O, with excess oxygen gave 9.708 mg of CO2 and 3.969 mg of
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Explanation:

9.708 mg of CO₂ will contain 12 x 9.708 / 44 = 2.64 g of C .

3.969 mg of H₂O will contain 2 x 3.969 / 18 = .441 g of H .

mg of O in given liquid B = 3.795 - ( 2.64 + .441 ) = .714 mg

ratio of mg of C , H , O in the compound = 2.64 : .441 : .714

ratio of no of atoms  of C , H , O in the compound

= 2.64 / 12 : .441 /1 : .714 / 16

= .22 : .44 : .0446

= .22 / .22 : .44 / .22 : .044 / .22

= 1 : 2 : .2

1 x 5 : 2 x 5 : .2 x 5

= 5 : 10 : 1

empirical formula of the compound = C₅H₁₀O

Volume of 89.8 mL at 1 .00 atm at 200⁰C

volume of gas at 1 atm and 0⁰C = 89.8 x 273 / 473 mL

= 51.83 mL

51.83 mL weighs .205 g

22400 mL will weigh .205 x 22400 / 51.83 g

= 88.6 g

So molecular weight = 88.6

Let molecular formula be (C₅H₁₀O)ₙ

molecular weight = n ( 5 x 12 + 10 + 16 )

= 86 n

86 n = 88.6

n = 1 approx

So molecular formula is same as empirical formula

C₅H₁₀O is molecular formula .
