How many grams of NaF should be added to 500 mL of a 0.100 M solution of HF to make a buffer with a pH of 3.2

Korolek [52]

Answer:

2.25g of NaF are needed to prepare the buffer of pH = 3.2

Explanation:

The mixture of a weak acid (HF) with its conjugate base (NaF), produce a buffer. To find the pH of a buffer we must use H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [A-] / [HA]

<em>Where pH is the pH of the buffer that you want = 3.2, pKa is the pKa of HF = 3.17, and [] could be taken as the moles of A-, the conjugate base (NaF) and the weak acid, HA, (HF). </em>

The moles of HF are:

500mL = 0.500L * (0.100mol/L) = 0.0500 moles HF

Replacing:

3.2 = 3.17 + log [A-] / [0.0500moles]

0.03 = log [A-] / [0.0500moles]

1.017152 = [A-] / [0.0500moles]

[A-] = 0.0500mol * 1.017152

[A-] = 0.0536 moles NaF

The mass could be obtained using the molar mass of NaF (41.99g/mol):

0.0536 moles NaF * (41.99g/mol) =

<h3>2.25g of NaF are needed to prepare the buffer of pH = 3.2</h3>

"acid is responsible for the odor in rancid butter. a solution of 0.25 m butyric acid has a ph of 2.71. what is the ka for"

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:- The Ka for the acid is $1.53*10^-^5$ .

Solution:- In general, monoprotic acid could be represented by HA. The dissociation equation for the ionization of HA is written as:

HA(aq)\rightarrow H^+(aq) + A^-(aq)

Now, we make the ice table for this equation as:

HA(aq)\rightarrow H^+(aq) + A^-(aq)

I 0.25 0 0

C -X +X +X

E (0.25 - X) X X

where, I stands for initial concentration, C stands for change in concentration and E stands for equilibrium concentration.

X is the change in concentration and from ice table it's same as the concentration of hydrogen ion that is calculated from given pH.

$Ka = [H^+][A^-]\frac{1}{HA}$

Where, Ka is the acid ionization constant. Let's plug in the values.

$Ka = \frac{X^2}{0.25-X}$

Let's calculate the value of X first using the equation:

$pH = -log[H^+]$ [/tex]

on taking antilog ob above equation we get:

$[H^+]=10^-^p^H$

$[H^+]=10^-^2^.^7^1$

$[H^+]$ = 0.00195

So, X = 0.001195

Let's plug in this value of X in the equation:-

$Ka=\frac{(0.00195)^2}{0.25-0.00195}$

$Ka=1.53*10^-^5$

So, the value of Ka for butyric acid is $1.53*10^-^5$ .

Classify the four reactions that your group analyzed today as being either endothermic or exothermic

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Chemical reactions are basically divided into two major classes depending on whether the reaction lose energy or gain energy from the environment during the course of the reaction. The two classes of reaction are exothermic and endothermic reaction.
An exothermic reaction is a type of reaction in which the reaction system lose energy to the environment and thus, the energy content of the reactants is more than that of the product formed. Because of this, the enthapyl change of an exothermic reaction is always negative.
An endothermic reaction is a type of reaction in which the reaction system absorb energy from the environment. Thus, the energy contents of the products is always higher than that of the reactants and the enthapyl change of the reaction is always positive. During the course of the reaction, the reaction container is usually cold to the touch because energy is been absorbed from the environment.
