Answer:

Concept: Chemical Analysis

  1. Start by taking inventory of the elements that you have
  2. Make a list, one for the right side and another for the left side
  3. Then add coefficients to the elements to the right or left side to balance out the equation

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

A solution is prepared by mixing 250 mL of 1.00 M

CH3COOH with 500 mL of 1.00 M NaCH3COO.

What is the pH of this solution?

(Ka for CH3COOH = 1.8 × 10−5 )

Explanation:

This is a case of a neutralization reaction that takes place between acetic acid,     CH 3 COOH ,   a weak acid, and sodium hydroxide,   NaOH , a strong base.

The resulting solution pH, depends if the neutralization is complete or not.  If not, that is, if the acid is not completely neutralized, a buffer solution containing acetic acid will be gotten, and its conjugate base, the acetate anion.

It's important to note that at complete neutralization, the pH of the solution will not equal  7 . Even if the weak acid is neutralized completely, the solution will be left with its conjugate base, this is the reason why the expectations of its pH is to be over  7 .

So, the balanced chemical equation for this reaction is the ionic equation:

CH 3 COOH (aq]  +  OH − (aq]  →  CH 3 COO − (aq]  +  H 2 O (l]

Notice that:  

1  mole of acetic acid will react with:  1  mole of sodium hydroxide, shown here as hydroxide anions,  OH − , to produce   1   mole of acetate anions:

CH 3 COO −

To determine how many moles of each you're adding , the molarities and volumes of the two solutions are used:

     c  =  n /  V    ⇒     n   =   c  ⋅  V

n  acetic   =   0.20 M   ⋅   25.00   ⋅   10  − 3 L   =   0.0050 moles CH3 COOH

and

n  hydroxide   =   0.10 M   ⋅   40.00   ⋅   10 − 3 L   =   0.0040 moles OH −

There are fewer moles of hydroxide anions, so the added base will be completely consumed by the reaction.

As a result, the number of moles of acetic acid that remain in solution is:

    n  acetic remaining   =   0.0050  −   0.0040   =    0.0010 moles

The reaction will also produce  0.0040   moles of acetate anions.

This is, then a buffer and the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is applied to find its pH :

pH  =  p K a  +  log  ( [ conjugate base ]  / [ weak acid ] )

Use the total volume of the solution to find the new concentrations of the acid and of its conjugate base .

V total  =  V acetic  +  V hydroxide

V total  =  25.00 mL  +  40.00 mL  =  65.00 mL

Thus the concentrations will be :

[ CH 3 COOH ]  =  0.0010 moles  / 65.00  ⋅  10 − 3 L  =  0.015385 M

and

[ CH 3 COO − ]  =  0.0040 moles  / 65  ⋅  10 − 3 L  =  0.061538 M

The    p K a     of acetic acid is equal to    4.75

Thus the pH of the solution will be:

pH   =   4.75  +  log ( 0.061538 M  /    0.015385 M )

pH   =   5.35

At sea level, where the pressure was 104 kPa and temperature 21.1 ºC, a certain mass of air occupies 2.0 m3 . To what volume wil
Romashka [77]

Answer:

The volume of air at where the pressure and temperature are  52 kPa, -5.0 ºC is 3.64 m^3.

Explanation:

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 104 kPa

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 52 kPa

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 2.0m^3

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 21.1^oC=273+21.1=294.1K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = -5.0^oC=273+(-5.0)=268 K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{104 kPa\times 2.0m^3}{294.1 K}=\frac{52 kPa\times V_2}{268 K}

V_2=3.64 m^3

The volume of air at where the pressure and temperature are  52 kPa, -5.0 ºC is 3.64 m^3.
