Answer:

pH = 4.25

Explanation:

A solution composed of a weak acid and its conjugate base is a <em>buffer solution</em>. To calculate the pH of a buffer solution we use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation:

pH = pKa + log ([conjugate base]/[weak acid]

In this case, we have the following data:

[conjugate base] = [sodium benzoate] = 0.230 M

[weak acid] = [benzoic acid] = 0.205 M

The pKa of benzoic acid is 4.2. So, we introduce the data in the equation:

pH = 4.2 + log (0.230 M/0.205 M) = 4.2 + 0.050 = 4.25

Which suitable reagent distinguishes ketones and aldehydes from carboxylic acids and on observation, gives a white precipitate??
OLga [1]
How does one determine the identity and structure of an unknown compound? This is not a trivial task. Modern x-ray and spectroscopic techniques have made the job much easier, but for some very complex molecules, identification and structure determination remains a challenge. In addition to spectroscopic information and information obtained from other instrumental methods, chemical reactions can provide useful structural information, and physical properties can contribute significantly to confirming the identity of a compound.
In this experiment, you will be asked to identify an unknown liquid, which will be either an alcohol, aldehyde, or ketone. Identification will be accomplished by carrying out chemical tests, called classification tests, preparing a solid derivative of the unknown and determining its melting point (MP), making careful observations, and analyzing the NMR spectrum of the unknown.

What is the charge on an ion that contains 16 protons and 18 electrons?
Alika [10]
16-18= -2 so it has a negative charge. Just subtract the electrons from the protons if you get a positive number it will have a positive charge and vice versa.

20 ML of a gas at 200 K is heated until the new volume is 55ML what is the final temperature of the gas
MrRa [10]

Answer:

T2 = 550K

Explanation:

From Charles law;

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Where;

V1 is initial volume

V2 is final volume

T1 is initial temperature

T2 is final temperature

We are given;

V1 = 20 mL

V2 = 55 mL

T1 = 200 K

Thus from V1/T1 = V2/T2, making T2 the subject;

T2 = (V2 × T1)/V1

T2 = (55 × 200)/20

T2 = 550K
