The Henderson-Hasselbalch approximation is for conjugate acid-base pairs in a buffered solution. We're going to call HA a weak acid, and A- its conjugate base. The equation is as follows:
pH = pKa + log([base]/[acid]), where the brackets imply concentrations
Plugging in our symbols and the pKa value, the equation becomes:
pH = 4.874 + log([A-]/[HA])
Answer: B or C
Explanation: The question does not include the variable or steps Brian is using so either one could be correct. It has to be the one that he is controlling though. This is because a control group is used to rule out any alternate explanations. Therefore the answer should be the one that he is trying to test out.
Answer:
The correct answer is 0.67 g H₂
Explanation:
Isopropyl alcohol (C₃H₇OH) can decompose to give acetone (C₂H₆OH) and hydrogen gas (H₂) according to the following chemical equation:
C₃H₇OH (g) ⇒ C₂H₆CO(g) + H₂(g)
We can calculate the initial mass of isopropyl alcohol from the density and volume data:
density = m/V = 0.785 g/mL
⇒ m = density x V = 0.785 g/mL x 25.6 mL = 20.096 g C₃H₇OH
According to the chemical equation 1 mol of C₃H₇OH gives 1 mol H₂. The molar mass of C₃H₇OH is:
molar mass C₃H₇OH = (12 g/mol x 3) + (1 g/mol x 7) + 16 g/mol + 1 g/mol = 60 g/mol
molar mass H₂ = 1 g/mol x 2 = 2 g/mol
So, we obtain: 2 g H₂ from 60 g C₃H₇OH. We multiply this stoichiometric ratio (2 g H₂/60 g C₃H₇OH) by the initial mass of C₃H₇OH to obtain the mass of H₂ is formed:
20.096 g C₃H₇OH x (2 g H₂/60 g C₃H₇OH) = 0.6698 g ≅ 0.67 g H₂
