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

CaCO3(s)⇄CaO(s)+CO2(g) When heated strongly, solid calcium carbonate decomposes to produce solid calcium oxide and carbon dioxid
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

1.04 mol

Explanation:

CO₂ is produced in a closed 100 L vessel according to the following equation.

CaCO₃(s) ⇄ CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

At equilibrium, the pressure of carbon dioxide remains constant at 1.00 atm.

First, we need to conver the temperature to the absolute scale (Kelvin scale) using the following expression.

K = °C + 273.15

K = 898°C + 273.15

K = 1171 K

Now, we can find the moles of carbon dioxide using the ideal gas equation.

P \times V = n \times R \times T\\n = \frac{P \times V}{R \times T} = \frac{1.00atm \times 100L}{\frac{0.0821atm.L}{mol.K}  \times 1171K} = 1.04 mol

What happens when a gas gets hot
Maurinko [17]

Heating a gas increases the kinetic energy of the particles, causing the gas to expand. In order to keep the pressure constant, the volume of the container must be increased when a gas is heated.

Different solutions of salt X are made up. What volume of: a) a 4 mol/dm³ solution contains 2 moles of X? b) a 6 mol/dm³ solutio
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

a. 0.5dm³

b. 5x10⁻³dm³

Explanation:

a. A solution that is 4mol/dm³ contains 4 moles in 1dm³. The volume that contains 2 moles is:

2 moles * (1dm³ / 4mol) =

<h3>0.5dm³</h3><h3 />

b. And for the 6 mol/dm³ containing 0.03moles:

0.03 moles * (1dm³ / 6mol) =

<h3>5x10⁻³dm³</h3>

A hot air balloonist puts 52000 L of air into their balloon at 500 Celsius and 975 atm. When they heat
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Explanation:

During the seventeenth and especially eighteenth centuries, driven both by a desire to understand nature and a quest to make balloons in which they could fly (Figure 1), a number of scientists established the relationships between the macroscopic physical properties of gases, that is, pressure, volume, temperature, and amount of gas. Although their measurements were not precise by today’s standards, they were able to determine the mathematical relationships between pairs of these variables (e.g., pressure and temperature, pressure and volume) that hold for an ideal gas—a hypothetical construct that real gases approximate under certain conditions. Eventually, these individual laws were combined into a single equation—the ideal gas law—that relates gas quantities for gases and is quite accurate for low pressures and moderate temperatures. We will consider the key developments in individual relationships (for pedagogical reasons not quite in historical order), then put them together in the ideal gas law
