A 0.4021-g sample of a purified organic acid was dissolved in water and titrated potentiometrically. A plot of the data revealed

Archy [21]

Answer:

The molar mass of the acid is 167.5 g/mol

Explanation:

A 0.4021-g sample of a purified organic acid was dissolved in water and titrated potentiometrically. A plot of the data revealed a single end point after 19.31 mL of 0.1243 M NaOH had been introduced. Calculate the molecular mass of the acid.

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the sample of a purified organic acid = 0.4021 grams

Molarity = 0.1243 M

Volume needed to reach the end point = 19.1 mL = 0.01931 L

Step 2: Calculate the number of moles NaOH

Moles NaOH = molarity NaOH * volume

Moles NaOH = 0.1243 M * 0.01931 L

Moles NaOH = 0.00240 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles of the acid

We'll need 0.00240 moles of acid to neutralize 0.00240 moles of NaOH ( it's a single end point)

Moles acid = 0.00240 moles

Step 4: Calculate molar mass of the acid

Molar mass = mass / moles

Molar mass = 0.4021 grams / 0.00240 moles

Molar mass = 167.5 g/mol

The molar mass of the acid is 167.5 g/mol

The combustion reaction described in part (b) occurred in a closed room containing 5.56 10g of air

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Combustion reaction is given below,

C₂H₅OH(l) + 3O₂(g) ⇒ 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(g)

Provided that such a combustion has a normal enthalpy,

ΔH°rxn = -1270 kJ/mol

That would be 1 mol reacting to release of ethanol,

⇒ -1270 kJ of heat

Now,

0.383 Ethanol mol responds to release or unlock,

Given that :

specific heat c = 1.005 J/(g. °C)

m = 5.56 ×10⁴ g

Using the relation:

q = mcΔT

- 486.34 = 5.56 ×10⁴ × 1.005 × ΔT

ΔT= (486.34 × 1000 )/5.56×10⁴ × 1.005

ΔT= 836.88 °C

ΔT= T₂ - T₁

T₂ = ΔT + T₁

T₂ = 836.88 °C + 21.7°C

T₂ = 858.58 °C

Therefore, the final temperature of the air in the room after combustion is 858.58 °C

Describe a method to calculate the average atomic mass of the sample in the previous question using only the atomic masses of li

alexira [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

To calculate their average atomic masses which is otherwise known as the relative atomic mass, we simply multiply the given abundances of the atoms and the given atomic masses.

The abundace is the proportion or percentage or fraction by which each of the isotopes of an element occurs in nature.

This can be expressed below:

RAM = Σmₙαₙ

where mₙ is the mass of isotope n

αₙ is the abundance of isotope n

for this problem:

RAM of Li = m₆α₆ + m₇α₇

m₆ is mass of isotope Li-6

α₆ is the abundance of isotope Li-6

m₇ is mass of isotope Li-7

α₇ is the abundance of isotope Li-7

Describe the formation of ions by electron loss or gain

Ronch [10]

Explanation:

Ions form when atoms gain or lose electrons. This is so that they form a full outer shell of electrons. When an atom gains electrons it becomes a negative ion, because electrons are negatively charged. For example, all halogens (group 7 or 17) form negative ions as they gain an electron forming a 1- charge. When an atom loses electrons it becomes a positive ion, as it is losing some negative charge from the electrons. This would be for example, alkali metals (group 1) which lose an electron to form a positive ion with a 1+ charge, (ALL metals form positive ions).
