Answer: During a chemical reaction, matter cannot be created nor destroyed, matter can change form through physical and chemical changes, but through any of these changes, matter is conserved; even though the matter may change from one form to another, the same number of atoms exists before and after the change takes place.

A weak monoprotic acid is titrated with 0.100 MNaOH. It requires 50.0 mL of the NaOH solution to reach the equivalence point. Af
larisa86 [58]

Explanation:

The given reaction is as follows.

        HA(aq) + NaOH (aq) \rightleftharpoons NaA(aq) + H_{2}O(l)

Hence, number of moles of NaOH are as follows.

        n = 0.05 L \times 0.1 M

           = 0.005 mol

After the addition of 25 ml of base, the pH of a solution is 3.62. Hence, moles of NaOH is 25 ml base are as follows.

             n = 0.025 L \times 0.1 M

                = 0.0025 mol

According to ICE table,

         HA(aq) + NaOH (aq) \rightleftharpoons NaA(aq) + H_{2}O(l)

Initial:     0.005 mol   0.0025 mol              0                  0

Change: -0.0025 mol  -0.0025 mol        +0.0025 mol

Equibm:   0.0025 mol    0                         0.0025 mol

Hence, concentrations of HA and NaA are calculated as follows.

          [HA] = \frac{0.0025 mol}{V}

        [NaA] = \frac{0.0025 mol}{V}

       [A^{-}] = [NaA] = \frac{0.0025 mol}{V}

Now, we will calculate the pK_{a} value as follows.

          pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{A^{-}}{HA}

       pK_{a} = pH - log \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}

                  = 3.42 - log \frac{\frac{0.0025 mol}{V}}{\frac{0.0025}{V}}

                  = 3.42

Thus, we can conclude that pK_{a} of the weak acid is 3.42.

Particles of gas are more scarcely placed  as compared to that of liquid.

the intermolecular forces will be less in gaseous state and hence is less stable

In terms of Inorganic chemistry:

                 (i) <u>Removal of Electrons: </u>

                            Example:  Mg  →  Mg²⁺  +  2 e⁻

                (ii) <u>Addition of Oxygen:</u>

                            Example:  2 Mg  + O₂  →  2 MgO

In terms of Organic chemistry:

                (i) <u>Addition of Electrons: </u>

                            Example:  Cl₂  +  2 e⁻   →   2 Cl⁻

                (ii) <u>Addition of Hydrogen:</u>
