An aqueous solution contains 0.29 M of benzoic acid (HA) and 0.16 M of sodium benzoate (A-). If the pH of this solution was meas
1 answer:
Answer:
pKa = 4.89.
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by using the <em>Henderson-Hasselbach equation</em>, which states:
pH = pKa + log
In this case [A⁻] is the concentration of sodium benzoate and [HA] is the concentration of benzoic acid.
We <u>input the given data</u>:
4.63 = pKa + log
And <u>solve for pKa</u>:
pKa = 4.89

Answer:
What mass (g) of barium iodide is contained in 188 mL of a barium iodide solution that has an iodide ion concentration of 0.532 M?
A) 19.6
B) 39.1
C) 19,600
D) 39,100
E) 276
The correct answer to the question is
B) 39.1 grams
Explanation:
To solve the question
The molarity ratio is given by
188 ml of 0.532 M solution of iodide.
Therefore we have number of moles = 0.188 × 0.532 M = 0.100016 Moles
To find the mass, we note that the Number of moles = from which we have
Mass = Number of moles × molar mass
Where the molar mass of Barium Iodide = 391.136 g/mol
= 0.100016 moles ×391.136 g/mol = 39.12 g
