A buffer is prepared by mixing 204.0 mL of 0.452 M HCl and 0.500 L of 0.400 M sodium acetate (NaC2H3O2):

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>

What are stars and galaxy made of?
goldfiish [28.3K]
What are stars made of? Basically, stars are big exploding balls of gas, mostly hydrogen and helium. Our nearest star, the Sun, is so hot that the huge amount of hydrogen is undergoing a constant star-wide nuclear reaction, like in a hydrogen bomb.

In a spiral galaxy like the Milky Way, the stars, gas, and dust are organized into a "bulge," a "disk" containing "spiral arms," and a "halo." Elliptical galaxies have a "bulge-shape" and a "halo," but do not have a "disk.

Will the ph of a solution of nh4cn be &gt;7, &lt;7, or =7?

PH of a solution will be <span>higher than 7

Ammonium cyanide is a salt formed by hydrogen cyanide and ammonia. Ammonia is a weak base and hydrogen cyanide is a weak acid. 
NH₄CN + H₂O ⇒ NH₃ + HCN 

NH₄⁺ + H₂O -----> H₃O⁺ + NH₃

CN⁻ + H₂O -----> HCN + OH⁻ 

Although both compounds are weak electrolytes, NH₃ is somewhat stronger base than HCN is a strong acid, so the solution reacts alkaline. We can prove this using Ka and Kb values:

Ka(HCN) = 4.9 x × 10⁻¹⁰

Kb(NH₃) = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵<span>
Kw= </span>1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴

Let's first calculate Ka for NH₄⁺: 
Ka(NH₄⁺) x Kb(NH₃<span>) = pKw

</span>Ka(NH₄⁺) = Kw/Kb(NH₃) = 5.6 x 10⁻¹⁰

Then, Kb for CN⁻:

Kb(CN⁻) x Ka(HCN) = pKw

Kb(CN⁻) = Kw/Ka(HCN) = 2 x 10⁻⁵

 
From this, we can see that the acid constant NH4⁺ is much lower than the base constant of CN⁻, which will say that the solution of NH₄CN will react slightly alkaline because of the higher presence of hydroxyl ions in solution.
