Answer:
b) 3.10
Explanation:
HF ⇄ H
+ + F
Using Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation:
pH = pKa + log [A-]/[HA].
Where;
pKa = Dissociation constant = -log Ka
Hence, pKa of HF = -log 7.2 x 10^-4 = 3.14266
[A-] = concentration of conjugate base after dissociation = moles of base/total volume
= 0.15 x 0.3/0.8
= 0.05625 M
[HA] = concentration of the acid = moles of acid/total volume
= 0.10 x 0.5/0.8
= 0.0625 M
Note: <em>Total volume = 500 + 300 = 800 mL = 0.8 dm3</em>
pH = 3.14266 + log [0.05625/0.0625]
= 3.14267 + (-0.04575749056)
= 3.09691250944
<em>From all the available options below:</em>
<em>a) 2.97
</em>
<em>b) 3.10
</em>
<em>c) 3.19
</em>
<em>d) 3.22
</em>
<em>e) 3.32</em>
The correct option is b.
Answer:
The correct answer is 574.59 grams.
Explanation:
Based on the given information, the number of moles of NH₃ will be,
= 2.50 L × 0.800 mol/L
= 2 mol
The given pH of a buffer is 8.53
pH + pOH = 14.00
pOH = 14.00 - pH
pOH = 14.00 - 8.53
pOH = 5.47
The Kb of ammonia given is 1.8 * 10^-5. Now pKb = -logKb,
= -log (1.8 ×10⁻⁵)
= 5.00 - log 1.8
= 5.00 - 0.26
= 4.74
Based on Henderson equation:
pOH = pKb + log ([salt]/[base])
pOH = pKb + [NH₄⁺]/[NH₃]
5.47 = 4.74 + log ([NH₄⁺]/[NH₃])
log([NH₄⁺]/[NH₃]) = 5.47-4.74 = 0.73
[NH₄⁺]/[NH₃] = 10^0.73= 5.37
[NH₄⁺ = 5.37 × 2 mol = 10.74 mol
Now the mass of dry ammonium chloride required is,
mass of NH₄Cl = 10.74 mol × 53.5 g/mol
= 574.59 grams.
