You have 100 mL of a solution of benzoic acid in water; the amount of benzoic acid in the solution is estimated to be about 0.30

g. The distribution coefficient of benzoic acid in diethyl ether and water is approximately 10. Calculate the amount of acid that would be left in the water solution after four 20-mL extractions with ether.

Answer:

0.00370 g

Explanation:

From the given information:

To determine the amount of acid remaining using the formula:\dfrac{(final \ mass \ of \ solute)_{water}}{(initial \ mass \ of \ solute )_{water}} = (\dfrac{v_2}{v_1+v_2\times k_d})^n

where;

v_1 = volume of organic solvent = 20-mL

n = numbers of extractions = 4

v_2 = actual volume of water = 100-mL

k_d = distribution coefficient = 10

∴

\dfrac{(final \ mass \ of \ solute)_{water}}{0.30  \ g} = (\dfrac{100 \ ml}{100 \ ml +20 \ ml \times 10})^4

\dfrac{(final \ mass \ of \ solute)_{water}}{0.30  \ g} = (\dfrac{100 \ ml}{100 \ ml +200 \ ml})^4

\dfrac{(final \ mass \ of \ solute)_{water}}{0.30  \ g} = (\dfrac{1}{3})^4

\dfrac{(final \ mass \ of \ solute)_{water}}{0.30  \ g} = 0.012345

Thus, the final amount of acid left in the water = 0.012345 * 0.30

= 0.00370 g

Which of the following statements about trends in solubility is accurate?
Kipish [7]

"The solubility of gases decreases as temperature rises" statements about trends in solubility is accurate.

<u>Option: D</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

A substance's solubility is the quantity of that component that is needed at a defined degree of temperature to produce a saturated solution in any set quantity of solvent. Some compounds like hydrochloric acid, ammonia, etc  have solubility that reduces with rising temperature. They are both standard-pressure gases.

When heating a solvent with a gas absorbed in it, both the solvent and the solute spike in the kinetic energy.When the gaseous solute's kinetic energy rises, the molecules have a higher propensity to overcome the solvent molecules' connection and migrate to the gas phase. Thus, a gas's solubility reduces with rising temperature.

A compound has a pka of 7.4. to 100 ml of a 1.0 m solution of this compound at ph 8.0 is added 30 ml of 1.0 m hydrochloric acid.
Monica [59]
 Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation on the solution before HCl addition: pH = pKa + log([A-]/[HA]) 8.0 = 7.4 + log([A-]/[HA]); [A-]/[HA] = 4.0. (equation 1) Also, 0.1 L * 1.0 mol/L = 0.1 moles total of the compound. Therefore, [A-] + [HA] = 0.1 (equation 2) Solving the simultaneous equations 1 and 2 gives: A- = 0.08 moles AH = 0.02 moles Adding strong acid reduces A- and increases AH by the same amount. 0.03 L * 1 mol/L = 0.03 moles HCl will be added, soA- = 0.08 - 0.03 = 0.05 moles AH = 0.02 + 0.03 = 0.05 moles Therefore, after HCl addition, [A-]/[HA] = 0.05 / 0.05 = 1.0 Resubstituting into the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation: pH = 7.4 + log(1.0) = 7.4, the final pH.
