How many grams of sodium formate, NaCHO2, would have to be dissolved in 3.0 L of 0.12 M formic acid (pKa 3.74) to make the solut
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Mass_{sodium\ formate}= 889.57\ g

Explanation:

Considering the Henderson- Hasselbalch equation for the calculation of the pH of the acidic buffer solution as:

pH=pK_a+log\frac{[salt]}{[acid]}

Given that:-

[Acid] = 0.12 M

Volume = 3.0 L

pKa = 3.74

pH = 5.30

So,  

5.30=3.74+log\frac{[sodium\ formate]}{0.12}

Solving, we get that:-

[Sodium formate] = 4.36 M

Considering:

Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

So,

Moles =Molarity \times {Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

So, Moles of sodium formate = 4.36*3.0 moles = 13.08 moles

Molar mass of sodium formate = 68.01 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

13.08\ mole= \frac{Mass}{68.01\ g/mol}

Mass_{sodium\ formate}= 889.57\ g

what happens to change the solubility when you added 6.0 M HCl to the second test tube with benzoic acid
shusha [124]

Answer:

It becomes insoluble again.

Explanation:

The chemical equation showing the reaction between benzoic acid, and sodium hydroxide,NaOH is given below;

C6H5COOH + NaOH ------------------------> C6H5COO^- Na^+ + H2O.

The Benzoic acid, C6H5COOH is insoluble but when it reacted with 1M Sodium hydroxide, NaOH it changes to sodium benzoate, C6H5COO^- Na^+ which is more soluble than the benzoic acid.

C6H5COO^- Na^+ + HCl -------------------> C6H5COOH + NaCl.

When the sodium benzoate, C6H5COO^- Na^+ reacts with 6M HCl, it is converted back to benzoic acid which is insoluble. Hence, precipitation is observed.

Why can the grasses now grow when they couldn’t earlier?
andrew-mc [135]

Grasses can grow where they could not earlier because the soil conditions, water volume, or rate of sunlight have evolved.

Each species of plant requires specific conditions to thrive. These conditions include:

  • Nutrients from the soil.
  • Sunlight
  • Specific amount of water.

This implies that if the conditions for a specific species are not provided in terms of sunlight, radiation, and water, the plant will not grow in that specific zone. In the same way, if the conditions of a zone change and they are not suitable for a plant species the plant will grow even if this was not possible before.

This key idea is the reason why some plants including grasses can now grow in zones where they did not exist before. Some of the factors that have contributed to this are:

  • Fertilization: This provides soils with necessary nutrients.
  • Climate change: This has affected climate patterns, and therefore it can increase or decrease radiation.
  • Irrigation: This increases the amount of water available for plants.

A sugar that has the chemical formula C5H10O5 would be characterized as _____.
Tanya [424]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: a. pentose

Explanation:

a) a pentose  is a monosaccharide that has 5 carbons in its structure, if we look at the question the chemical formula only has 5 carbons, then this is the right answer.

b) an oligosaccharide  is a group of 2 or more monosaccharides (till 5 or 6) then, it will have 10 or more carbons, this is not the right answer

c) a triose  is a monosaccharide that has only three carbons, this is not the right answer.

d) a hexose   is a monosaccharide that has 6 carbons, of course this answer is wrong.

e) a polysaccharide is a group of 6 or more monosaccharides, it will have 20 or more carbons, this answer is wrong.
