Answer:
41 g
Explanation:
We have a buffer formed by a weak acid (C₆H₅COOH) and its conjugate base (C₆H₅COO⁻ coming from NaC₆H₅COO). We can find the concentration of C₆H₅COO⁻ (and therefore of NaC₆H₅COO) using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation.
pH = pKa + log [C₆H₅COO⁻]/[C₆H₅COOH]
pH - pKa = log [C₆H₅COO⁻] - log [C₆H₅COOH]
log [C₆H₅COO⁻] = pH - pKa + log [C₆H₅COOH]
log [C₆H₅COO⁻] = 3.87 - (-log 6.5 × 10⁻⁵) + log 0.40
[C₆H₅COO⁻] = [NaC₆H₅COO] = 0.19 M
We can find the mass of NaC₆H₅COO using the following expression.
M = mass NaC₆H₅COO / molar mass NaC₆H₅COO × liters of solution
mass NaC₆H₅COO = M × molar mass NaC₆H₅COO × liters of solution
mass NaC₆H₅COO = 0.19 mol/L × 144.1032 g/mol × 1.5 L
mass NaC₆H₅COO = 41 g
The most common way of preventing bumping is by adding one or two boiling chips to the reaction vessel. However, these alone may not prevent bumping and for this reason it is advisable to boil liquids in a boiling tube, a boiling flask, or an Erlenmeyer flask.
Answer is: The atomic size of the chlorine ion is larger than the size of the chlorine atom.
Covalent radii of chlorine atom (Cl) is 0.099 nm and ionic radii of chlorine anion (Cl⁻) is 0.181 nm.
Difference between an chlorine atom and chlorine anion is the number of electrons that surround the nucleus.
Chlorine atom has 17 electrons and chlorine anion has 18 electrons.
