A buffer solution contains 0.345 M acetic acid and 0.377 M sodium acetate . If 0.0613 moles of potassium hydroxide are added to

250 mL of this buffer, what is the pH of the resulting solution ? (Assume that the volume does not change upon adding potassium hydroxide. )

Answer:

pH = 5.54

Explanation:

The pH of a buffer solution is given by the <em>Henderson-Hasselbach (H-H) equation</em>:

  • pH = pKa + log\frac{[CH_3COO^-]}{[CH_3COOH]}

For acetic acid, pKa = 4.75.

We <u>calculate the original number of moles for acetic acid and acetate</u>, using the <em>given concentrations and volume</em>:

  • CH₃COO⁻ ⇒ 0.377 M * 0.250 L = 0.0942 mol CH₃COO⁻
  • CH₃COOH ⇒ 0.345 M * 0.250 L = 0.0862 mol CH₃COOH

The number of CH₃COO⁻ moles will increase with the added moles of KOH while the number of CH₃COOH moles will decrease by the same amount.

Now we use the H-H equation to <u>calculate the new pH</u>, by using the <em>new concentrations</em>:

  • pH = 4.75 + log\frac{(0.0942+0.0613)mol/0.250L}{(0.0862-0.0613)mol/0.250L} = 5.54

Weak noncovalent interactions:__________ a. do not include ionic interactions b. always involve water. c. can have a large cumul
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

c. can have a large cumulative effect

Explanation:

Noncovalent interactions between molecules are weaker than covalent interactions. Noncovalent interactions between molecules are of various types which  include van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic interactions or ionic bonding.

van der Waals forces  are weak interactions found in all molecules. They include dipole-dipole interactions - formed due to the differences in the electronegativity of atoms - and the London dispersion forces.

Hydrogen Bonds  results when electrons are shared between hydrogen and a strongly electronegative atoms like fluorine, nitrogen, oxygen. The hydrogen acquires a partial positive charge while the electronegative atom acquires a partial negative. This results in attraction between hydrogen and neighboring electronegative molecules.

Ionic bonds result due to the attraction between groups with opposite electrical charges, for example in common salt between sodium and chloride ions.

Even though these noncovalent interactions are weak, cumulatively, they exert strong effect. For example, the high boiling point of water and the crystal structure of ice are due to hydrogen bonding.
