An unknown weak acid with a concentration of 0.530 M has a pH of 5.600. What is the Ka of the weak acid

Chemistry

Aleks [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Ka = 3.45x10⁻⁶

Explanation:

First we <u>calculate [H⁺]</u>, using <em>the given pH</em>:

  • pH = -log[H⁺]
  • [H⁺] = 10^{-pH}=10^{-5.6}
  • [H⁺] = 2.51x10⁻⁶ M

To solve this problem we can use the following formula describing a monoprotic weak acid:

  • [H⁺] = \sqrt{C*Ka}

We <u>input the data that we already know</u>:

  • 2.51x10⁻⁶ = \sqrt{0.530*Ka}

And <u>solve for Ka</u>:

  • Ka = 3.45x10⁻⁶

A 1.25 g sample of aluminum is reacted with 3.28 g of copper (II) sulfate. What is the limiting reactant?
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

d. Copper (II) sulfate

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Al = 1.25 g

Mass of CuSO₄ = 3.28 g

What is limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Al + 3CuSO₄   →   Al₂ (SO₄)₃ + 3Cu

Number of moles of Al:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 1.25 g/ 27 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.05 mol

Number of moles of CuSO₄:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 3.28 g/ 159.6 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.02 mol

now we will compare the moles of reactant with product.

               Al           :           Al₂ (SO₄)₃

                 2          :             1

               0.05       :          1/2×0.05=0.025 mol

                Al           :            Cu

                 2            :              3

               0.05         :            3/2×0.05 = 0.075 mol

         CuSO₄           :           Al₂ (SO₄)₃

                3             :             1

               0.02         :          1/3×0.02=0.007 mol

         CuSO₄           :            Cu

               3               :              3

               0.02         :              0.02

Less number of moles of reactants are produced by CuSO₄ thus it will act as limiting reactant.

You need to produce a buffer solution that has a pH of 5.31. You already have a solution that contains 10. mmol (millimoles) of
Karolina [17]

Answer:

37 mmol of acetate need to add to this solution.

Explanation:

Acetic acid is an weak acid. According to Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for a buffer consist of weak acid (acetic acid) and its conjugate base (acetate)-

pH=pK_{a}(acetic acid)+log[\frac{mmol of CH_{3}COO^{-}}{mmol of CH_{3}COOH }]

Here pH is 5.31, pK_{a} (acetic acid) is 4.74 and number of mmol of acetic acid is 10 mmol.

Plug in all the values in the above equation:

5.31=4.74+log[\frac{mmol of CH_{3}COO^{-}}{10}]

or, mmol of CH_{3}COO^{-} = 37

So 37 mmol of acetate need to add to this solution.

Convert mass to moles for both reactants. (Round to 2 significant figures.)
shepuryov [24]
Mass = mr x moles
Mr of CuCl2 = ( 63.5) + ( 35.5 x 2) = 134.5
2.5 = 134.5 x moles
2.5 / 134.5 = moles
Moles = 0.019 (2DP)

0.25g of Al
Mr of Al = 27
0.25 = 27 x moles
0.25/ 27 = 0.0093 moles (2sf)

Hope this helps :)

An unknown noble gas has a density of 5.84 g dm-3 at STP. Calculate its molar mass, and so identify the gas.
bagirrra123 [75]

The noble gas is Xenon and its molar mass is 131 g/mol.

<h3>What is the molar mass of the noble gas?</h3>

The molar mass of the noble gas is determined as follows;

Let molar mass of unknown gas be M, and mass of gas be m

Density of the noble gas, ρ = 5.8 g/dm³

density = m/V

At STP;

  • temperature, T = 273.15 K
  • pressure, P = 1 atm
  • molar gas constant, R = 0.0821 L.atmK⁻¹mol⁻¹

From ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

where n = m/M

PV = mRT/M

M = mRT/PV

M =  0.0821 * 273.15 * 5.84/1

Molar mass of the noble gas = 131 g/mol

The noble gas is Xenon which has molar mass approximately equal to 131 g/mol.

Lighting a match is an example of what kind of energy conversion?
Alika [10]

Answer:

Mechanical Energy to Thermal Energy

When you strike a match, it moves through the air until it rubs against a surface. The rubbing produces the heat required to light the match. This is a transformation from mechanical energy to thermal (heat) energy.
