Use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation:
pH = pKa + log[base]/[acid]
pH = -log(1.7 x 10^-5) + log(0.590/0.130) = 5.43

Calculate the maximum volume in ml of 0.15M HCl that each of the following antacid formulations would be expected to neutralize.
vlada-n [284]

a. 34 mL; b. 110 mL

a. A tablet containing 150 Mg(OH)₂


Mg(OH)₂ + 2HCl ⟶ MgCl₂ + 2H₂O


<em>Moles of Mg(OH)₂</em> = 150 mg Mg(OH)₂ × [1 mmol Mg(OH)₂/58.32 mg Mg(OH)₂

= 2.572 mmol Mg(OH)₂


<em>Moles of HCl</em> = 2.572 mmol Mg(OH)₂ × [2 mmol HCl/1 mmol Mg(OH)₂]

= 5.144 mmol HCl


Volume of HCl = 5.144 mmol HCl × (1 mmol HCl/0.15 mmol HCl) = 34 mL HCl


b. A tablet containing 850 mg CaCO₃


CaCO₃ + 2HCl ⟶ CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O


<em>Moles of CaCO₃</em> = 850 mg CaCO₃ × [1 mmol CaCO₃/100.09 mg CaCO₃

= 8.492 mmol CaCO₃


<em>Moles of HCl</em> = 8.492 mmol CaCO₃ × [2 mmol HCl/1 mmol CaCO₃]

= 16.98 mmol HCl


Volume of HCl = 16.98 mmol HCl × (1 mL HCl/0.15 mmol HCl) = 110 mL HCl

Consider the following reaction, equilibrium concentrations, and equilibrium constant at
REY [17]

Answer:

Equilibrium concentration of H_{2}O is 12.5 M

Explanation:

Given reaction: C_{2}H_{4}+H_{2}O\rightleftharpoons C_{2}H_{5}OH

Here, K_{c}=\frac{[C_{2}H_{5}OH]}{[C_{2}H_{4}][H_{2}O]}

where K_{c} represents equilibrium constant in terms of concentration and species inside third bracket represent equilibrium concentrations

Here, [C_{2}H_{4}]=0.015M , [C_{2}H_{5}OH]=1.69M and K_{c}=9.0

So, [H_{2}O]=\frac{[C_{2}H_{5}OH]}{[C_{2}H_{4}]\times K_{c}}=\frac{1.69}{0.015\times 9.0}=12.5M

Hence equilibrium concentration of H_{2}O is 12.5 M
