You have to prepare a pH 5.00 buffer, and you have the following 0.10 M solutions available: HCOOH (pka=3.74), HCOONa, CH3COOH (

pka=4.74), CH3COONa, HCN (pka=9.31), and NaCN. Which solutions would you use?

Answer:

CH3COOH - CH3COONa since its pKa is closest to the required pH.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, in agreement with the theory of buffers as solutions able to withstand severe pH changes due to the addition of acidic or basic substances, it is possible to set up a generation equilibrium expression for the acids herein given:

Ka=\frac{[A^-][H_3O^+]}{[HA]}

Which leads to the Henderson-Hasselbach equation:

pH=pKa+log(\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]} )

Thus, since all the buffers have [A-]=[HA]=0.10M, the log part becomes 0 and therefore the best buffer will have the closest pKa to the required pH, which is CH3COOH - CH3COONa since its pKa is 4.74.

Best regards!

Explain the importance of carbon's ability to form covalent bonds in straight chains, branched chains, or rings.
viktelen [127]
Carbon is the element at the heart of all organic compounds, and it is such a versatile element because of its ability to form straight chains, branched chains, and rings. Because these chains and rings can have all sorts of different functional groups in all sorts of different ways (giving the compond all sorts of different physical and chemical properties), carbon's ability to form the backbone of these large structures is critial to the existence of most chemical compounds known to man. Above all, the organic molecules crucial to the biochemical systems that govern living organisms depend on carbon compounds.

Consider a situation in which 211 g
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

3.00 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of P₄ = 211 g

Mass of oxygen = 240 g

Moles of P₂O₅ = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

P₄ + 5O₂       →     2P₂O₅

Number of moles of P₄:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 211 g / 123.88 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.7 mol

Number of moles of O₂ :

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 240 g / 32g/mol

Number of moles = 7.5 mol

Now we will compare the moles of product with reactant.

                       O₂         :         P₂O₅

                        5          :           2

                        7.5       :        2/5×7.5 = 3.00

                       P₄          :         P₂O₅

                        1           :           2

                       1.7         :       2×1.7 = 3.4 mol

Oxygen is limiting reactant so the number of moles of P₂O₅ are 3.00 mol.

Mass of P₂O₅:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 3 mol ×283.9 g/mol

Mass = 852 g

Which of the following laws is NOT explained by Dalton's atomic theory? A.the law of conservation of mass B. the periodic law C.
zysi [14]

B. the periodic law

Explanation:

The periodic law was not explained by the Dalton's atomic theory.

The periodic law was first postulated by Dimitry Mendeleef and Lothar Meyer around 1869 where they independently arrived at the periodic table or chart.

  • The table was based on the periodic law which states that "chemical properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic weights".
  • The modern periodic law was restated by Henry Moseley in the early 1900s. He changed the basis of the law to atomic number.
  • The present periodic law is stated as "the properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic number".

The laws of conservation of mass, multiple proportions and definite proportions are all explained by the Dalton's atomic theory.
