Answer: P2O5 is the empirical formula.
Explanation: When given percentages you can assume that many grams of each atom are in the compound. Then you divide grams by the molar mass of each element, giving you moles. Once you have moles, divide by the smaller molar amount, which should give you 1 mol of Phosphorus and 2.5 mol of Oxygen. Then multiply by 2 in order for both moles to be a whole number. This gets you 2 and 5.
a) before addition of any KOH :
when we use the Ka equation & Ka = 4 x 10^-8 :
Ka = [H+]^2 / [ HCIO]
by substitution:
4 x 10^-8 = [H+]^2 / 0.21
[H+]^2 = (4 x 10^-8) * 0.21
= 8.4 x 10^-9
[H+] = √(8.4 x 10^-9)
= 9.2 x 10^-5 M
when PH = -㏒[H+]
PH = -㏒(9.2 x 10^-5)
= 4
b)After addition of 25 mL of KOH: this produces a buffer solution
So, we will use Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to get PH:
PH = Pka +㏒[Salt]/[acid]
first, we have to get moles of HCIO= molarity * volume
=0.21M * 0.05L
= 0.0105 moles
then, moles of KOH = molarity * volume
= 0.21 * 0.025
=0.00525 moles
∴moles HCIO remaining = 0.0105 - 0.00525 = 0.00525
and when the total volume is = 0.05 L + 0.025 L = 0.075 L
So the molarity of HCIO = moles HCIO remaining / total volume
= 0.00525 / 0.075
=0.07 M
and molarity of KCIO = moles KCIO / total volume
= 0.00525 / 0.075
= 0.07 M
and when Ka = 4 x 10^-8
∴Pka =-㏒Ka
= -㏒(4 x 10^-8)
= 7.4
by substitution in H-H equation:
PH = 7.4 + ㏒(0.07/0.07)
∴PH = 7.4
c) after addition of 35 mL of KOH:
we will use the H-H equation again as we have a buffer solution:
PH = Pka + ㏒[salt/acid]
first, we have to get moles HCIO = molarity * volume
= 0.21 M * 0.05L
= 0.0105 moles
then moles KOH = molarity * volume
= 0.22 M* 0.035 L
=0.0077 moles
∴ moles of HCIO remaining = 0.0105 - 0.0077= 8 x 10^-5
when the total volume = 0.05L + 0.035L = 0.085 L
∴ the molarity of HCIO = moles HCIO remaining / total volume
= 8 x 10^-5 / 0.085
= 9.4 x 10^-4 M
and the molarity of KCIO = moles KCIO / total volume
= 0.0077M / 0.085L
= 0.09 M
by substitution:
PH = 7.4 + ㏒( 0.09 /9.4 x 10^-4)
∴PH = 8.38
D)After addition of 50 mL:
from the above solutions, we can see that 0.0105 mol HCIO reacting with 0.0105 mol KOH to produce 0.0105 mol KCIO which dissolve in 0.1 L (0.5L+0.5L) of the solution.
the molarity of KCIO = moles KCIO / total volume
= 0.0105mol / 0.1 L
= 0.105 M
when Ka = KW / Kb
∴Kb = 1 x 10^-14 / 4 x 10^-8
= 2.5 x 10^-7
by using Kb expression:
Kb = [CIO-] [OH-] / [KCIO]
when [CIO-] =[OH-] so we can substitute by [OH-] instead of [CIO-]
Kb = [OH-]^2 / [KCIO]
2.5 x 10^-7 = [OH-]^2 /0.105
∴[OH-] = 0.00016 M
POH = -㏒[OH-]
∴POH = -㏒0.00016
= 3.8
∴PH = 14- POH
=14 - 3.8
PH = 10.2
e) after addition 60 mL of KOH:
when KOH neutralized all the HCIO so, to get the molarity of KOH solution
M1*V1= M2*V2
when M1 is the molarity of KOH solution
V1 is the total volume = 0.05 + 0.06 = 0.11 L
M2 = 0.21 M
V2 is the excess volume added of KOH = 0.01L
so by substitution:
M1 * 0.11L = 0.21*0.01L
∴M1 =0.02 M
∴[KOH] = [OH-] = 0.02 M
∴POH = -㏒[OH-]
= -㏒0.02
= 1.7
∴PH = 14- POH
= 14- 1.7
= 12.3
173.99cm multiply 68.5 x 2.54 always use that number when converting inches to cm
Every 2 million years the amount is halved
0 million = 200g
2 million = 200g/2 = 100g
4 million = 100g/2 = 50g
