Calculate the ph of the solution resulting from the addition of 85.0 ml of 0.35 m hcl to 30.0 ml of 0.40 m aniline (c6h5nh2). kb
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

pH = 0.81

Explanation:

HCl reacts with aniline, thus:

C₆H₅NH₂ + HCl → C₆H₅NH₃⁺ + Cl⁻

Moles of HCl are:

0.085L × (0.35mol HCl / L) = <em>0.02975mol HCl</em>

Moles of aniline are:

0.030L × (0.40mol HCl / L) = <em>0.012mol aniline</em>

Thus, after reaction, will remain:

0.02975mol - 0.012mol = <em>0.01775mol HCl</em>

Moles of HCl in solution are equal to moles of H⁺, thus, moles of H⁺ are: <em>0.01775mol H⁺</em>

As total volume is 85.0mL + 30.0mL = 115.0mL ≡ <em>0.115L</em>

0.01775mol / 0.115L = 0.1543M

pH of solution = -log[H⁺]

pH = -log 0.1543M

<em>pH = 0.81</em>

At a certain temperature the rate of this reaction is second order in with a rate constant of Suppose a vessel contains at a con
grigory [225]

Answer: The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

At a certain temperature the rate of this reaction is second order in NH_4OH with a rate constant of 34.1M^{-1}s^{-1} . NH_4OH(aq)\rightarrow NH_3(aq)+H_2O(aq)

Suppose a vessel contains NH_4OH at a concentration of 0.100 M Calculate how long it takes for the concentration of NH_4OH  to decrease to 0.0240 M. You may assume no other reaction is important. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer: It takes 0.93 seconds  for the concentration  NH_4OH  to decrease to 0.0240 M.

Explanation:

Integrated rate law for second order kinetics is given by:

\frac{1}{a}=kt+\frac{1}{a_0}

a_0 = initial concentration = 0.100 M

a= concentration left after time t = 0.0240 M

k = rate constant = 34.1M^{-1}s^{-1}

t = time taken for decomposition = ?

\frac{1}{0.0240}=34.1\times t+\frac{1}{0.100}

t=0.93s

Thus it takes 0.93 seconds  for the concentration  NH_4OH  to decrease to 0.0240 M.

What is the temperature, in degrees celsius, of a substance with a temperature of 49k?–322°c–224°c224°c322°c
Marat540 [252]
To convert temperature in terms of kelvin to celsius, we subtract 273 to the given temperature in kelvin. In this problem, the given is 49 kelvin, thus, 49 - 273 is equal to -224 degrees celsius. The asnswer is <span>-224 degrees celsius. Kelvin is the SI unit for temperature.</span>

When potassium reacts with arsenic to form an ionic compound, each metal atom loses ____ electron(s) and each nonmetal atom gain
klasskru [66]

Answer:

When potassium reacts with arsenic to form an ionic compound, each metal atom loses 1 electron(s) and each nonmetal atom gains 3 electron(s). There must be 3 potassium atom(s) for every 1 arsenic atom(s) in the reaction.

Explanation:

We need to consider the octet rule: each atom will gain or lose electrons to have 8 electrons in its valence shell.

  • Potassium is in Group 1, so it has 1 valence electron, which will lose to form K⁺.
  • Arsenic is in Group 15, so it has 5 valence electrons. Then, it will gain 3 electrons to form As³⁻.

To have an electrical molecule between K⁺ and As³⁻, we require 3 K⁺ and 1 As³⁻, and the resulting formula is K₃As.
