An unknown compound, X is thought to have a carboxyl group with a pKa of 2.0 and another ionizable group with a pKa between 5 an

d 8. When 75 mL of 0.1 M NaOH was added to 100mL of a 0.1 M solution of X at pH 2.0, the pH increased to 6.72. Calculate the pKa of the second group of X.

Answer:

7.3

Explanation:

By Henderson Hasselbalch equation we can calculate the pH or the pOH of a solution by its pKa. Remember that pH = -log[H^{+}], and pKa = -logKa. Ka is the equilibrium constant of the acid.

Henderson Hasselbalch equation :

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

Where [HA] is the concentration of the acid, and [A^{-}] is the concentration of the anion which forms the acid.

So, acid X, has two ionic forms, the carboxyl group and the other one. First, we have 0.1 mol/L of the acid, in 100 mL, so the number of moles of X

n1 = (0.1 mol/L)x(0.1 L) = 0.01 mol

When it dissociates, it forms 0.005 mol of the carboxyl group and 0.005 mol of the other group. Assuming same  stoichiometry.

Adding NaOH, with 0.1 mol/L and 75 mL, the number of moles of OH^- will be

n2 = (0.1 mol/L)x(0.075 L) = 0.0075 mol

So, the 0.0075 mol of OH^- reacts with 0.005 mol of carboxyl, remaining 0.0025 mol of OH^-, which will react with the 0.005 mol of the other group. So, it will remain 0.0025 mol of the other group.

The final volume of the solution will be 175 mL, but both concentrations (the acid form and ionic form) have the same volume, so we can use the number of mol in the equation.

Note that, the number of moles of the acid form is still 0.01 mol because it doesn't react!

So,

6.72 = pKa - log \frac{0.01}{0.0025}

6.72 = pKa - log 4

pKa - log4 = 6.72

pKa = 6.72 + log4

pKa = 6.72 + 0.6

pKa = 7.3

at a certain pressure the density of superficial carbon dioxide is 0.469. what is the mass of a 25.0 mL sample of supercritical
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{11.7 g}}

Explanation:

\text{Mass} = \text{25.0 mL} \times \dfrac{\text{0.469 g}}{\text{1 mL}} = \textbf{11.7 g}\\\\\text{The mass of the carbon dioxide is $\large \boxed{\textbf{11.7 g}}$}

Answer:

hope this helps :)

Explanation:

for the first one, you can look at the periodic table and look at the atomic number and it will show you how many protons there are giving you the answer because protons and electrons are equal in a pure element

a- carbon

b- neon

c- boron

d- oxygen

e- helium

f- hydrogen

g- lithium

h- beryllium

i- nitrogen

1- sulfur

2- S

3- 16

4- 32.066

5- 16

6- 16

7- 16.066

8- draw circles and put 16 dots like on the other page and in the middle put 16 nuetrons and electrons

How do oil spills affect marine ecosystems?
charle [14.2K]
Oil makes it impossible for fur-bearing mammals to insulate<span>, this leaves them unprotected from the harsh elements out in the water. Birds and mammals will die from hypothermia without the ability to insulate from the freezing water.

When does cortisol get release by the body ?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Normally, cortisol is present in the body at higher levels in the morning, and at it is lowest at night. Although stress isn’t the only reason that cortisol is secreted into the bloodstream, it has been termed “the stress hormone” because it’s also secreted in higher levels during the body’s stress response and is responsible for several stress-related changes in the body.
