Using only sodium carbonate, Na2CO3, sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3, and distilled water determine how you could prepare 50.0 mL of

a 0.20 M solution that is buffered to a pH of 10.3. The total molarity of the ions should be 0.20 M. The Ka of the hydrogen carbonate ion, HCO3 - , is 4.7 x 10-11 .

Answer:

Weight 0.4326 g of sodium bicarbonate and 0.5141 g of sodium carbonate, dissolve it in distilled water and then bring the solution to a final volume of 50.0 mL using distilled water.

Explanation:

The pH of a buffered solution can be calculated using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pKa + log(\frac{[Na_{2}CO_{3}]}{[NaHCO_{3}]})  

We have that pH = 10.3 and the Ka is 4.7x10⁻¹¹, so:

10.3 = -log(4.7 \cdot 10^{-11}) + log(\frac{[Na_{2}CO_{3}]}{[NaHCO_{3}]})  

\frac{[Na_{2}CO_{3}]}{[NaHCO_{3}]} = 0.94  (1)

Also, we know that:

[Na_{2}CO_{3}] + [NaHCO_{3}] = 0.20 M    (2)

From equation (2) we have:

[Na_{2}CO_{3}] = 0.20 - [NaHCO_{3}]   (3)

By entering (3) into (1):

\frac{0.20 - [NaHCO_{3}]}{[NaHCO_{3}]} = 0.94

0.94*[NaHCO_{3}] + [NaHCO_{3}] = 0.20

[NaHCO_{3}] = 0.103 M  

Hence, the [Na_{2}CO_{3}] is:

[Na_{2}CO_{3}] = 0.20 - [NaHCO_{3}] = 0.20 M - 0.103 M = 0.097 M  

Now, having the concentrations and knowing the volume of the buffer solution we can find the mass of the sodium carbonate and the sodium bicarbonate, as follows:

m_{Na_{2}CO_{3}} = C*V*M = 0.097 mol/L*0.050 L*105.99 g/mol = 0.5141 g

m_{NaHCO_{3}} = C*V*M = 0.103 mol/L*0.050 L*84.007 g/mol = 0.4326 g

Therefore, to prepare 50.0 mL of a 0.20 M solution that is buffered to a pH of 10.3 we need to weight 0.4326 g of sodium bicarbonate and 0.5141 g of sodium carbonate, dissolve it in distilled water and then bring the solution to a final volume of 50.0 mL using distilled water.      

   

I hope it helps you!

Camphor, a white solid with a pleasant odor, is extracted from the roots, branches, and trunk of the camphor tree. Assume you di
katrin [286]

<u>Answer:</u> The molarity of solution is 0.799 M , molality of solution is 1.02 m, mole fraction of camphor is 0.045 and mass percent of camphor in solution is 13.43 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>Calculating the molarity of solution:</u>

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}

Given mass of camphor = 70.0 g

Molar mass of camphor = 152.2 g/mol

Volume of solution = 575 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molarity of camphor}=\frac{70\times 1000}{152.2\times 575}\\\\\text{Molarity of camphor}=0.799M

  • <u>Calculating the molarity of solution:</u>

To calculate the mass of ethanol, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Density of ethanol = 0.785 g/mL

Volume of ethanol = 575 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.785g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of ethanol}}{575mL}\\\\\text{Mass of ethanol}=(0.785g/mL\times 575mL)=451.38g

To calculate the molality of solution, we use the equation:

\text{Molality of solution}=\frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}

where,

m_{solute} = Given mass of solute (camphor) = 70 g

M_{solute} = Molar mass of solute (camphor) = 152.2  g/mol

W_{solvent} = Mass of solvent (ethanol) = 451.38 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molality of camphor}=\frac{70\times 1000}{152.2\times 451.38}\\\\\text{Molality of camphor}=1.02m

  • <u>Calculating the mole fraction of camphor:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(1)

<u>For camphor:</u>

Given mass of camphor = 70 g

Molar mass of camphor = 152.2 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of camphor}=\frac{70g}{152.2g/mol}=0.459mol

<u>For ethanol:</u>

Given mass of ethanol = 451.38 g

Molar mass of ethanol = 46 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of ethanol}=\frac{451.38g}{46g/mol}=9.813mol

Mole fraction of a substance is given by:

\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}

Moles of camphor = 0.459 moles

Total moles = [0.459 + 9.813] = 10.272 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\chi_{(camphor)}=\frac{0.459}{10.272}=0.045\

  • <u>Calculating the mass percent of camphor:</u>

To calculate the mass percentage of camphor in solution, we use the equation:

\text{Mass percent of camphor}=\frac{\text{Mass of camphor}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 100

Mass of camphor = 70 g

Mass of solution = [70 + 451.38] = 521.38 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Mass percent of camphor}=\frac{70g}{521.38g}\times 100=13.43\%

Hence, the molarity of solution is 0.799 M , molality of solution is 1.02 m, mole fraction of camphor is 0.045 and mass percent of camphor in solution is 13.43 %
