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

Given:

K = 0.71 = Kp

The reaction of sulphur with oxygen is

                            S(s)   + O2(g)  ---> SO2(g)

initial Pressure                   6.90         0

Change                                -x            +x

Equilibrium                     6.90-x          x

Kp = pSO2 / pO2 = 0.71 = x / (6.90-x)

4.899 - 0.71x  = x

4.899 = 1.71x

x = 2.86 atm = pressure of SO2 formed

temperature = 950 C = 950 + 273.15 K = 1223.15 K

Volume = 50 L

Let us calculate moles of SO2 formed using ideal gas equation as

PV = nRT

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm / mol K

putting other values

n = PV / RT = 2.86 X 50 / 1223.15 X 0.0821 = 1.42 moles

Moles of Sulphur required = 1.42 moles

Mass of sulphur required or consumed = moles X atomic mass of sulphur

mass of S = 1.42 X 32 = 45.57 grams or 0.04557 Kg  of sulphur

What is the definition of DNA in meiosis
mario62 [17]
Like mitosis, meiosis is a form of eukaryotic cell division. However, these two processes distribute genetic material among the resulting daughter cells in very different ways. meiosis gives rise to four unique daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Because meiosis creates cells that are destined to become gametes (or reproductive cells), this reduction in chromosome number is critical — without it, the union of two gametes during fertilization would result in offspring with twice the normal number of chromosomes!

8. Why do we see water droplets on the outer surface of a glass containing ice cold water?
baherus [9]

Answer:

8. We see water droplets on the outer surface of a glass containing ice cold water because condensation is happening! This happens when warm water vapour from the surroundings come into contact with a cool surface (in this case the cool glass) and loses heat and condenses, forming water droplets on the surface of the glass.

b) 99.85 celcius

10. by using 2 syringes, one filled with water and one filled with air. when you compress it, you will find that the one with water barely compresses and the one filled with air should be able to be compressed quite a bit. and to the extent that the syringe is unable to be pushed down further, that is the maximum compressibility of air.
