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

The reactions are a bit poorly written. While it's true that aqueous H₂CO₃ is produced in this neutralization reaction, the H₂CO₃ rapidly decomposes to yield CO₂(g) and H₂O(l). Writing the product as H₂CO₃(aq) in the net ionic equation is unnecessarily confusing since it portrays the substance as nonionizing yet water-soluble.

In any case, the Na⁺ and the Cl⁻ are the spectator ions here.

The mole fraction of CO2 in a certain solution with H2O as the solvent is 3.6 × 10−4. What is the approximate molality of CO2 in
nataly862011 [7]

Answer: C) 0.020 m

Explanation:

Molality of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per kg of the solvent.

Molality=\frac{n\times 1000}{W_s}

where,

n = moles of solute  

W_s = weight of solvent in g  

Mole fraction of CO_2 is = 3.6\times 10^{-4} i.e.3.6\times 10^{-4}  moles of CO_2 is present in 1 mole of solution.

Moles of solute (CO_2) = 3.6\times 10^{-4}

moles of solvent (water) = 1 - 3.6\times 10^{-4} = 0.99

weight of solvent =moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.99\times 18=17.82g

Molality =\frac{3.6\times 10^{-4}\times 1000}{17.82g}=0.020

Thus  approximate molality of CO_2 in this solution is 0.020 m

How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 100g of an iron from 25°C to
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

382.5J

Explanation:

<em>Use the formula:</em>

E = mcΔθ or Q = mcΔT

m = 100g

c = 0.45 J/g°C

ΔT or Δθ = 110 - 25 = 85°

<em>Sub in the values:</em>

E = 100 × 0.45 × 85

= 382.5J
