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

andre [41]

Answer:

Atoms are single neutral particles. Molecules are neutral particles made of two or more atoms bonded together.

Explanation:

Atom refers to the smallest constituent unit of a chemical element. Molecules refer to a group of two or more atoms that are held together due to chemical bonds.

A student observes two strips of magnesium, mg ribbon that are each 3cm long. One strip of magnesium
ankoles [38]

Therefore option c , i.e. The substances in both test tubes are reactive only at high temperatures. is the only statement which is NOT supported by the student's observations.

<h3>What is the reaction between Magnesium and Hydrogen ?</h3>

Magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas

Mg (s) + 2 HCl (aq) → MgCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)

In this reaction, the magnesium and acid are gradually used up , which can be seen in the test tube 2 .

A chemical reaction is taking place in Test tube 2 ,

Hydrogen gas is released in test tube 2 ,

Energy is released in the reaction involving hydrochloric acid and we can see in test tube 2 the reaction is going on

therefore option C i.e. The substances in both test tubes are reactive only at high temperatures. is the only statement which is NOT supported by the student's observation.

To know more about the chemical reaction between Magnesium and Hydrogen and this test.
