Answer:

The water would act as a base and would produce an undesired product of ethanol (CH3OH) through a dissociation reaction. If doing a titration reaction, it will likely yield inaccurate results.

The reaction A(B) = 2B(g) has an equilibrium constant of K = 0.045. What is the equilibrium constant for the reaction B(g) =1/2A

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The $K_c$ for the reaction $B(g) = \frac{1}{2}A$ will be 4.69.

Explanation:

The given equation is A(B) = 2B(g)

to evaluate equilibrium constant for $B(g) = \frac{1}{2}A$

$K_c=[B]^2[A]$

= 0.045

The reverse will be $2B\leftrightharpoons A$

Then, $K_c = \frac{[A]}{[B]^2}$

= $\frac{1}{0.045}$

= $22m^{-1}$

The equilibrium constant for $B(g) = \frac{1}{2}A$ will be

$K_c = \sqrt{K_c}$

$=\sqrt{22}$

= 4.69

Therefore, $K_c$ for the reaction $B(g) = \frac{1}{2}A$ will be 4.69.

On the basis of the information above, a buffer with a pH = 9 can best be made by using

telo118 [61]

Answer:

D H2PO4– + HPO42–

Explanation:

The acid dissociation constant for $\mathbf{H_3PO_4 , H_2PO^{-}_4 , HPO_4^{2-}}$ are $\mathbf{7\times 10^{-3}, \ \ 8\times 10^{-8} ,\ \ 5\times 10^{-13}}$ respectively.

$\mathbf{pka (H_3PO_4) = -log (7\times 10^{-3} )=2.2}$

$\mathbf{pka (H_2PO_4^-) = -log (8\times 10^{-8} )=7.1}$

$\mathbf{pka (HPO_4^{2-}) = -log (5\times 10^{-13} )=12.3}$

The reason while option D is the best answer is that, the value of pKa for both

$\mathbf{H_2PO^{-}_4 ,\ \& \ HPO_4^{2-}}$ lies on either side of the desired pH of the buffer. This implies that one is slightly over and the other is slightly under.

Using Henderson-Hasselbach equation:

$\mathbf{pH = pKa + log \Big( \dfrac{HPO_4^{2-}}{H_2PO_4^-} \Big)}$

A solution containing aluminium ions forms a white precipitate when a few drops of dilute sodium hydroxide solution are added to

Otrada [13]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A word equation tries to depict a chemical reaction in words. Letters rather than only chemical formulas are used to show the reaction equation.

Now we want to write a word equation that shows the reaction of sodium hydroxide solution and aluminium sulphate solution:

Alumunium sulphate + sodium hydroxide ------>Aluminium hydroxide + sodium sulphate

Describe an experiment to determine the density of a liquid

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Take the measuring cylinder and measure its mass, in grams, as accurately as possible. Take the measuring cylinder off the balance and add the water carefully. Put the measuring cylinder back on the balance. Measure and record the new mass . Repeat the procedure, recording the volume and total mass, until the measuring cylinder is full. Then, for each volume calculate the mass of the liquid alone.Repeat steps 1 to 3 Draw a graph of mass of liquid against volume . Calculate the density of each liquid from the gradient of its graph line.
