Answer:

$pH=4.63$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the ionization of ammonia, which is a weak base, is written as:

$NH_3+H_2O\rightleftharpoons NH_4^++OH^-$

We can see that the ammonium ion is the conjugate acid whereas the hydroxide ions the conjugate base; that is why we use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation to compute the pH, given the pKb of ammonia 4.75:

$pH=pKb+log(\frac{[conj\ acid]}{[base]} )$

In such a way, for the given moles of ammonia, base, and those of ammonium chloride, conjugate acid form, we obtain:

$pH=4.75+log(\frac{0.15}{0.2} )\\\\pH=4.63$

Best regards!

What is happening to the temperature/pressure during the Deposition Change of State?

jeka94

A material will change from one state or phase to another at specific combinations of temperature and surrounding pressure. Typically, the pressure is atmospheric pressure, so temperature is the determining factor to the change in state in those cases.

Names such as boiling and freezing are given to the various changes in states of matter. The temperature of a material will increase until it reaches the point where the change takes place. It will stay at that temperature until that change is completed.

The combustion of propane may be described by the chemical equation C 3 H 8 ( g ) + 5 O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 3 CO 2 ( g ) + 4 H 2 O ( g ) C

Kipish [7]

Answer: 72 grams of $O_2(g)$ are needed to completely burn 19.7 g $C_3H_8(g)$

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to molecular mass and contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles.

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Putting in the values we get:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{19.7g}{44g/mol}=0.45moles$

$C_3H_8(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)$

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of $C_3H_8$ requires 5 moles of oxygen

0.45 moles of $C_3H_8$ require= $\frac{5}{1}\times 0.45=2.25$ moles of oxygen

Mass of $O_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=2.25\times 32=72g$

72 grams of $O_2(g)$ are needed to completely burn 19.7 g $C_3H_8(g)$

For the following reaction, KcKc = 255 at 1000 KK.

bonufazy [111]

Answer :

The equilibrium concentration of CO is, 0.016 M

The equilibrium concentration of Cl₂ is, 0.034 M

The equilibrium concentration of COCl₂ is, 0.139 M

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction is:

$CO(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons COCl_2(g)$

Initial conc. 0.1550 0.173 0

At eqm. (0.1550-x) (0.173-x) x

As we are given:

$K_c=255$

The expression for equilibrium constant is:

$K_c=\frac{[COCl_2]}{[CO][Cl_2]}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$255=\frac{(x)}{(0.1550-x)\times (0.173-x)}$

x = 0.139 and x = 0.193

We are neglecting value of x = 0.193 because equilibrium concentration can not be more than initial concentration.

Thus, we are taking value of x = 0.139

The equilibrium concentration of CO = (0.1550-x) = (0.1550-0.139) = 0.016 M

The equilibrium concentration of Cl₂ = (0.173-x) = (0.173-0.139) = 0.034 M

The equilibrium concentration of COCl₂ = x = 0.139 M

Given the balanced equation representing a reaction:

sleet_krkn [62]

4Al(s) + 3O2(g) --> 2Al2O3(s) This is the balanced.
From the equation:

4 moles of Al required 3 moles of O2 to produce 2 moles of Al2O3

3 moles of O2 reacted with 4 moles of Al to produce 2 moles of Al2O3
1 mole of O2 reacted with 4/3 moles of Al to produce 2/3 moles of Al2O3 (Divide by 3)
4.5 moles of O2 reacted with (4/3 *4.5) moles of Al to produce (2/3*4.5) moles of Al2O3

4.5 moles of O2 reacted with 6moles of Al to produce 3moles of Al2O3

(3) is the answer. 6 mol of Al.
