Starting with 0.250L of a buffer solution containing 0.250 M benzoic acid (C 6H 5COOH) and 0.20 M sodium benzoate (C 6H 5COONa),

what will the pH of the solution be after the addition of 25.0 mL of 0.100M HCl? (K a (C 6H 5COOH) = 6.5 x 10 -5)

Answer:

pH = 4.05

Explanation:

The pH of the benzoic buffer can be determined using H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻] / [HA]

<em>Where pKa is -logKa = 4.187</em>

pH = 4.187 + log [Sodium Benzoate] / [Benzoic Acid]

<em>Where [] can be understood as moles of each specie.</em>

Thus, to find pH of the buffer we need to calculate moles of benzoic acid and sodium benzoate.

<em>Initial moles:</em>

<em />

Initial moles of benzoic acid and sodium benzoate are:

Acid: 250mL = 0.250L ₓ (0.250 moles / L) = <em>0.0625 moles of benzoic acid</em>

Benzoate : 250mL = 0.20L ₓ (0.250 moles / L) = <em>0.050 moles of sodium benzoate</em>

<em>Moles after reaction:</em>

Now, 0.0250L×(0.100mol/L) = 0.0025 moles of HCl are added to the buffer reacting with sodium benzoate, C₆H₅COONa, producing more benzoic acid, as follows:

HCl + C₆H₅COONa → C₆H₅COOH + NaCl

That means after reaction moles of both species are:

Benzoic acid: 0.0625 mol + 0.0025mol (Moles produced) = 0.065 moles

Sodium Benzoate: 0.050mol - 0.0025mol (Moles that react) = 0.0475 moles

Replacing in H-H equation:

pH = 4.187 + log [0.0475] / [0.065]

pH = 4.05

When a substance gains or loses energy, it’s _____ changes, or its _____ chafes. Theses two changes do ___happen at the time ; t
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

When a substance gains or loses energy, its <u>temperature</u> or <u>state</u> changes. These two changes do <u>not</u> happen with respect to time; the temperature remains <u>the same</u> until the change of <u>state</u> is complete.

Explanation:

This statement is about energy and change of the state of the matter. By gaining or losing energy, the physical state of the matter can change into one another. Melting, freezing, condensation, evaporation, sublimation, and deposition are the processes that support to change the physical state of the matter. Change in state and change in the matter do not happen at the same time. A substance gains or loses energy to reach a specific temperature and remains constant until the physical change of matter is completed.
