A new potential heart medicine, code-named X-281, is being tested by a pharmaceutical company, Pharma-pill. As a research techni

cian at Pharma-pill, you are told that X-281 is a monoprotic weak acid, but because of security concerns, the actual chemical formula must remain top secret. The company is interested in the drug's Ka value because only the dissociated form of the chemical is active in preventing cholesterol buildup in arteries.
To find the pKa of X-281, you prepare a 0.089 M test solution of X-281 at 25.0 ∘C. The pH of the solution is determined to be 2.40.
a. What is the pKa of X-281? Express your answer numerically.
At 25∘C, for any conjugate acid-base pair
pKa + pKb = 14.00
b. What is pKb of the conjugate base of X-281? (Assume 25 ∘C.) Express your answer numerically.

Answer:

a. pka = 3,73.

b. pkb = 10,27.

Explanation:

a. Supposing the chemical formula of X-281 is HX, the dissociation in water is:

HX + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + X⁻

Where ka is defined as:

ka = \frac{[H_3O^+][X^-]}{[HX]}

In equilibrium, molar concentrations are:

[HX] = 0,089M - x

[H₃O⁺] = x

[X⁻] = x

pH is defined as -log[H₃O⁺]], thus, [H₃O⁺] is:

[H_3O^+]} = 10^{-2,40}

[H₃O⁺] = <em>0,004M</em>

Thus:

[X⁻] = 0,004M

And:

[HX] = 0,089M - 0,004M = <em>0,085M</em>

ka = \frac{[0,004][0,004]}{[0,085]}

ka = 1,88x10⁻⁴

And <em>pka = 3,73</em>

b. As pka + pkb = 14,00

pkb = 14,00 - 3,73

<em>pkb = 10,27</em>

I hope it helps!

What volume of 1.10 M SrCl2 is needed to prepare 525 mL of 5.00 mM SrCl2?
grigory [225]

Answer:- 2.39 mL are required.

Solution:- It's a dilution problem and to solve this type of problems we use the dilution equation:

M_1V_1=M_2V_2

Where, M_1 and M_2 are molarities of concentrated and diluted solutions and V_1 and V_2 are their respective volumes.

M_1 = 1.10M

M_2 = 5.00mM = 0.005M    (since, mM stands for milli molar and M stands for molar. 1M = 1000mM)

V_1 = ?

V_2 = 525 mL

Let's plug in the given values in the formula:

1.10M(V_1)=0.005M(525mL)

V_1=(\frac{0.005M*525mL}{1.10M})

V_1=2.39mL

So, 2.39 mL of 1.10M are needed to make 525 mL of 5.00mM solution.

One mole of an ideal gas with a volume of 1.0 L and a pressure of 5.0 atm is allowed to expand isothermally into an evacuated bu
Deffense [45]

Answer:

w= - 1.7173 kJ, q= 1.7173 kJ, q(rev) = 1717.3 J = 1.7173 kJ.

Explanation:

Okay, from the question we are given the information below;

Number of moles, n= 1 mole; initial volume, v(1) = 1.0 litres (L); pressure (p) = 5atm, final volume(v2) = 2.0 Litres(L) ; the workdone, w= not given; the heat, q and q(rev)= not given and the gas was said to expand isothermally.

So, this question is a question from the part of chemistry known as thermodynamics. Therefore, grip yourself we are delving into thermodynamics 'waters' now.

For expansion isothermally; the workdone, w= -nRT ln v2/v1.

Where T= temperature= 25° C = 298 k and R= gas constant.

Therefore; workdone, w = - 1 × 8.314 × 298 × ln(2/1).

Workdone,w= - 1717.32204643. =

- 1717.3 Joules (J).

==> Workdone,w= - 1.7173 kJ.

Then, we are to find q. q can be solved by using the first law of thermodynamics, which by mathematical representation is:

∆U= q + w. Where ∆U= change in internal enegy. Since the question is dealing with isothermal expansion, there is this rule that says for an isothermal expansion ∆U = 0.

Hence, 0 =q + [- 1717.3 Joules (J)].

q=1717.3 J = 1.7173 kJ.

Finally, the q(rev) which is= nRT ln (v2/V1).

q(rev) = 1 × 8.314 × 298 ln (2/1).

q(rev) = 1717.3 J = 1.7173 kJ.

PS: please note the negative signs in the workdone and the positive sign in the q(rev).
