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>

When chemicals react with each other which factors decide that a successful reaction has taken place ?
Elodia [21]

The factors that affect the rate of a reaction are:

  • <em>nature of the reactant</em> - when reactants with different chemical composition are exposed to same conditions they would react differently.  For instance, when an acid or base is added on litmus paper, blue litmus paper turns red in presence of acid while red litmus paper turns blue when base is added.
  • <em>surface area</em>- a compound with small pieces spread over a large area will react faster than a big lump of a compound occupying a small area.
  • <em>temperature of reaction</em>- reactants would react faster at high temperatures. this is because they have higher kinetic energy to collide with each other. Hence a plate of food on the table spoils faster than a plate of food in the fridge.
  • <em>concentration</em>- an increase in concentration leads to more molecules available to collide and form products. An example, when you add more of indicator in a solution, the color becomes more clear since more particles react to give more color.
  • <em>presence of a catalyst</em>- a catalyst lowers the activation energy, which means less energy is required to shift reaction in forward direction. In the presence of iron (Fe) a catalyst, nitrogen N₂ and hydrogen H₂ react to produce NH₃

if you want to see how the water molecules are split inside the thylakoid space, how many membranes would you have to cross to g
Feliz [49]

Answer:

4 biological membranes.

Explanation:

So in total, your water molecule has to go through your cell membrane, reach the outer membrane of your chloroplast and then through the inner membrane, and then lastly, it has to go through your thylakoid membrane to reach its final destination of the illumine. So in total 4 biological membranes.
