How many molecules are in

Liquid water is about 800 times denser than dry air under standard conditions. Use kinetic molecular theory to explain this diff

Savatey [412]

<em>Kinetic molecular Theory points:</em>

1. Gases molecules are always in random motion.

2. Gases molecule collide with each other and with the walls of container.

3. Gases molecules total volume is negligible as compare to container.

4. There is no attractive forces between the gases particles

5. K.E is directly proportional to absolute temperature.

<em>Why liquid are denser than gases according to K.M.T:</em>

1. As gases are in random motion, so they have weak forces/ no attractive forces (Acc. to KMT) due to this they are apart as compare to liquid which have stronger forces are closer to each other. So volume of gases will be greater. d= m/v

2. K. E of gases are greater than liquid due to this gases move randomly, apart from each another. Due to this their volume will be greater. d= m/v

3. Gases molecules total volume is negligible as compare to container which show that gases molecules have large spaces between them which causes lower in density.

Calculate the pH of a solution that contains 2.7 M HF and 2.7 M HOC6H5. Also, calculate the concentration of OC6H5- in this solu

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\mathbf{1.36; 3.6 \times 10^{\mathbf{-9}}}\textbf{mol/L}}$

Explanation:

The HF is about five million times as strong as phenol, so it will be by far the major contributor of hydronium ions. We can ignore the contribution from the phenol.

1 .Calculate the hydronium ion concentration

We can use an ICE table to organize the calculations.

HF + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + F⁻

I/mol·L⁻¹: 2.7 0 0

C/mol·L⁻¹: -x +x +x

E/mol·L⁻¹: 2.7 - x x x

$K_{\text{a}} = \dfrac{\text{[H}_{3}\text{O}^{+}] \text{F}^{-}]} {\text{[HF]}} = 7.2 \times 10^{-4}\\\\\dfrac{x^{2}}{2.7 - x} = 7.2 \times 10^{-4}\\\\\text{Check for negligibility of }x\\\\\dfrac{2.7}{7.2 \times 10^{-4}} = 4000 > 400\\\\\therefore x \ll 2.7\\\dfrac{x^{2}}{2.7} = 7.2 \times 10^{-4}\\\\x^{2} = 2.7 \times 7.2 \times 10^{-4} = 1.94 \times 10^{-3}\\x = 0.0441\\\text{[H$_{3}$O$^{+}$]}= \text{x mol$\cdot$L$^{-1}$} = \text{0.0441 mol$\cdot$L$^{-1}$}$

2. Calculate the pH

$\text{pH} = -\log{\rm[H_{3}O^{+}]} = -\log{0.0441} = \large \boxed{\mathbf{1.36}}$

3. Calculate [C₆H₅O⁻]

C₆H₅OH + H₂O ⇌ C₆H₅O⁻ + H₃O⁺

2.7 x 0.0441

$K_{\text{a}} = \dfrac{0.0441x} {2.7} = 1.6 \times 10^{-10}\\\\0.0441x = 1.6 \times 10^{-10}\\x = \dfrac{1.6 \times 10^{-10}}{0.0441} = \mathbf{3.6 \times 10^{\mathbf{-9}}}\textbf{ mol/L}\\\text{The concentration of phenoxide ion is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{3.6 \times 10^{\mathbf{-9}}}\textbf{ mol/L}}$}$
