Answer:

pH = 4.89

0.6171g of KOH must be added

Explanation:

Sodium acetate reacts with HCl producing acetic acid as follows:

NaC2H3O2 + HCl → HC2H3O2 + NaCl

<em>That means the moles added of HCl are moles of acetic acid produced and moles of acetate are initial moles - moles of HCl</em>

<em />

<em>Moles HCl = Moles acetic acid:</em>

0.204L * (0.452mol / L) = 0.0822 moles acetic acid.

<em>Initial moles sodium acetate:</em>

0.500L * (0.400mol / L) = 0.200 moles

<em>Moles sodium acetate:</em>

0.200 moles - 0.0822 moles = 0.1172 moles sodium acetate

The pH of this buffer (Mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base) is obtained using H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [A-] / [HA]

<em>Where pH is pH of the buffer, </em>

<em>pKa is pKa of the buffer (4.74 for acetic acid)</em>

<em>[A-] Moles of sodium acetate -Conjugate base-</em>

<em>And HA moles of acetic acid -Weak acid-</em>

pH = 4.74 + log [0.1172 moles] [0.0822 moles]

<h3>pH = 4.89</h3>

<em />

In 0.500L the moles of the buffer are:

0.500L * (0.200moles / 0.704L) = 0.142 moles of buffer

For a pH of 0.15 units more (4.89 + 0.15 = 5.04):

5.04 = 4.74 + log [Acetate] / [Acetic acid]

0.3 = log [Acetate] / [Acetic acid]

1.9953 = [Acetate] / [Acetic acid] <em>(1)</em>

And as:

0.142 = [Acetate] + [Acetic acid] <em>(2)</em>

Replacing (2) in (1):

1.9953 = 0.142 - [Acetic acid]  / [Acetic acid]

1.9953 [Acetic acid] = 0.142 - [Acetic acid]

2.9953 [Acetic acid] = 0.142 moles

[Acetic acid] = 0.0474 moles of acetic acid must remain after the addition of KOH.

In the beginning, moles of acetic acid are:

0.0822 moles * (0.500L / 0.704L) = 0.0584 moles.

That means moles added of KOH (Equal to moles of acetic acid that react) are:

0.0584 moles - 0.0474 moles = 0.0110 moles of KOH

In grams (Molar mass KOH = 56.1g/mol):

0.0110 moles KOH * (56.1g/mol) =

<h3>0.6171g of KOH must be added</h3>

How do electrons in a metallic bond behave?
igomit [66]

Hello,

In metallic bonds, the valence electrons from the s and p orbitals of the interacting metal atoms delocalize. That is to say, instead of orbiting their respective metal atoms, they form a “sea” of electrons that surrounds the positively charged atomic nuclei of the interacting metal ions.

Hope this helps!!!! Happy Holidays!!!! (:

What is the salt formers group number is?
NeTakaya

The halogens are five non-metallic elements found in group 17 of the periodic table. The term "halogen" means "salt-former" and compounds containing halogens are called "salts". All halogens have 7 electrons in their outer shells, giving them an oxidation number of -1.

Classify each of the following compounds as a strong acid, weak acid, strong base, or weak base, and write the Ka expression for
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

There are several ways to know if an acid or base is strong. One method is calculating the pH. If the pH is really low, is a strong acid, and if it's really high is a strong base.

However we do not have a pH value here.

The other method is using bronsted - lowry theory. If an acid is strong, then his conjugate base is weak. Same thing with the bases.

Now, Looking at the 4 compounds, we can say that only two of them is weak and the other two are strong compounds. Let's see:

LiOH ---> Strong. If you try to dissociate :

LiOH ------> Li⁺ + OH⁻     The Li⁺ is a weak conjugate acid.

HF -----> Weak

HF --------> H⁺ + F⁻   The Fluorine is a relatively strong conjugate base.

HCl -----> Strong

This is actually one of the strongest acid.

NH₃ ------> Weak

Now writting the Ka and Kb expressions:

Ka = [H⁺] [F⁻] / [HF]

Kb = [NH₄⁺] [OH⁻] / [NH₃]

Finally, to calculate the [OH⁻] we need to use the following expression:

Kw = [H⁻] [OH⁻]

Solving for [OH⁻] we have:

[OH⁻] = Kw / [H⁺]

Remember that the value of Kw is 1x10⁻¹⁴. So replacing:

[OH⁻] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 7x10⁻⁶

[OH⁻] = 1.43x10⁻⁹ M

And now, multiplying by 10¹⁰ we have:

[OH⁻] = 1.429x10⁻⁹ * 1x10¹⁰

<h2>[OH⁻] = 14.29 </h2>

Hope this helps
