Answer: 7.693 L
Explanation:
To calculate the new volume, we use the equation given by Boyle's law. This law states that pressure is directly proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature.
The equation given by this law is:
where,
are initial pressure and volume.
are final pressure and volume.
We are given:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Thus new volume of the gas is 7.693 L
Answer:
A mixture of 100. mL of 0.1 M HC3H5O3 and 50. mL of NaOH
Explanation:
The pH of a buffer solution is calculated using following relation
Thus the pH of buffer solution will be near to the pKa of the acid used in making the buffer solution.
The pKa value of HC₃H₅O₃ acid is more closer to required pH = 4 than CH₃NH₃⁺ acid.
pKa = -log [Ka]
For HC₃H₅O₃
pKa = 3.1
For CH₃NH₃⁺
pKa = 10.64
pKb = 14-10.64 = 3.36 [Thus the pKb of this acid is also near to required pH value)
A mixture of 100. mL of 0.1 M HC3H5O3 and 50. mL of NaOH
Half of the acid will get neutralized by the given base and thus will result in equal concentration of both the weak acid and the salt making the pH just equal to the pKa value.
