A mixture is prepared using 27.00 mL of a 0.0758 M weak base (pKa=4.594) , 27.00 mL of a 0.0553 M weak acid (pKa=3.235) and 1.00

mL of 1.25×10−4 M HIn and then diluting to 100.0 mL, where HIn is the protonated indicator. The absorbance measured at 550 nm in a 5.000 cm cell was 0.1102 . The molar absorptivity (????) values for HIn and its deprotonated form In− at 550 nm are 2.26×104 M−1cm−1 and 1.53×104 M−1cm−1 , respectively. What is the pH of the solution?

Answer:

pH = 4.164

Explanation:

The first process is to find the initial moles for the base (B) & the acid (HA)

i.e.

= \dfrac{27 mL \times 0.0758 \ moles \ \ of \ B}{1000 \ mL}

=0.0020466

\simeq 2.047\times 10^{-3} \ moles \ of \ B

= \dfrac{27 mL \times 0.0553 \ moles \ \ of \ HA}{1000 \ mL}

=0.0014931

\simeq 1.493\times 10^{-3} \ moles \ of \ HA

The acid with base reaction is expressed as;

          HA              +      B         →             A⁻            +         HB⁺

to    1.493 × 10⁻³       2.047 × 10⁻³             -                         -

    -  1.493 × 10⁻³       1.493 × 10⁻³         1.493 × 10⁻³         1.493 × 10⁻³

            0                    5.54 × 10⁻⁴         1.493 × 10⁻³         1.493 × 10⁻³

From observation; both the acid & base weak

Given that:

The pKa for base = 4.594

The pKa for acid = 3.235

Recall that;

pKa = -log Ka

So; Ka = \mathbf{10^{-Ka}}

By applying this:

For Base; Ka = 10^{-4.594} = 2.5468 × 10⁻⁵

For Acid:  Ka = 10^{ -3.235} = 5.821 × 10⁻⁴

After the reaction; we have the base with its conjugate acid & conjugate base of acid; Thus, since the conjugate acid of the base possesses a higher value of K, it is likely it would be the one to define the pH of the solution.

By analyzing the system, we have:

              HB⁺         + H₂O           ↔           B          +            H₃O⁺

     \dfrac{1.493\times 10^{-3}}{0.1 \ L}                                 \dfrac{5.54\times 10^{-4}}{0.1 \ L}

to   0.01493 M                                 0.00554   M

  -      x                                                   x                                x

    0.01493 - x                                 0.00554 - x                     x

Thus;

2.5468 \times 10^{-5} = \dfrac{(0.00554 -x)\times x}{(0.01493-x)}

Using the common ion effect;

0.00554 - x   \simeq  0.00554   &

0.01493 -  x   \simeq   0.01493

∴

x = \dfrac{2.5468 \times 10^{-5} \times 0.01493}{0.00554}

x =  [H₃O⁺] = 6.8635  × 10⁻⁵

∴

pH = -log(6.8635  × 10⁻⁵)

pH = 4.164

2CO(g) + O2(g) = 2CO2(g)
Finger [1]

Answer:

3.0 L O₂

Explanation:

If CO reacts at STP, it means that there are 1.0 moles of CO. To find the moles of O₂, you need to use the mole-to-mole ratio from the given equation.

1.0 moles CO            1 mole O₂
----------------------  x  ---------------------  =  0.5 moles O₂
                                2 moles CO

To calculate the liters of oxygen, you need to use Avogadro's Law:

V₁ / N₁ = V₂ / N₂

In this equation, "V₁" and "N₁" represent the volume and moles of the first molecule. "V₂" and "N₂" represent the volume and moles of the second molecule. You can plug the given and calculated values into the equation and simplify to isolate V₂.

V₁ = 6.0 L                     V₂ = ? L

N₁ = 1.0 moles              N₂ = 0.5 moles

V₁ / N₁ = V₂ / N₂                                            <----- Avogadro's Law

(6.0 L) / (1.0 moles) = V₂ / (0.5 moles)         <----- Insert values

6.0 = V₂ / (0.5 moles)                                   <----- Simplify left side

3.0 = V₂                                                         <----- Multiply both sides by 0.5

A mixture of 0.682 mol of H2 and 0.440 mol of Br2 is combined in a reaction vessel with a volume of 2.00 L. At equilibrium at 70
ahrayia [7]

Answer: 0.294 mol of Br_2 present in the reaction vessel.

Explanation:

Initial moles of  H_2 = 0.682 mole

Initial moles of  Br_2 = 0.440 mole

Volume of container = 2.00 L

Initial concentration of H_2=\frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{0.682moles}{2.00L}=0.341M

Initial concentration of Br_2=\frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{0.440moles}{2.00L}=0.220M

equilibrium concentration of H_2=\frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{0.536mole}{2.00L}=0.268M

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

                            H_2(g)+Br_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2HBr(g)

Initial conc.              0.341 M     0.220 M         0  M

At eqm. conc.    (0.341-x) M      (0.220-x) M     (2x) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

K_c=\frac{[HBr]^2}{[Br_2]\times [H_2]}

we are given : (0.341-x) = 0.268 M

x= 0.073 M

Thus equilibrium concentration of Br_2 = (0.220-x) M = (0.220-0.073) M = 0.147 M

[Br_2]=\frac{moles}{volume}\\0.147=\frac{xmole}{2.00L}\\\\x=0.294 mole

Thus there are 0.294  mol of Br_2 present in the reaction vessel.

A piston confines 0.200 mol Ne(g) in 1.20 at 25 degree C. Two experiments are performed. (a) The gas is allowed to expand throug
djyliett [7]

Answer:

The second experiment (reversible path) does more work

Explanation:

Step 1:

A piston confines 0.200 mol Ne(g) in 1.20L at 25 degree °C

<em>(a) The gas is allowed to expand through an additional 1.20 L against a constant of 1.00atm</em>

<em></em>

Irreversible path: w =-Pex*ΔV

⇒ with Pex = 1.00 atm

⇒ with ΔV = 1.20 L

W = -(1.00 atm) * 1.20 L

W = -1.20L*atm *101.325 J /1 L*atm = -121.59 J

<em>(b) The gas is allowed to expand reversibly and isothermally to the same final volume.</em>

<em></em>

W = -nRTln(Vfinal/Vinitial)

⇒ with n = the number of moles = 0.200

⇒ with R = gas constant = 8.3145 J/K*mol

⇒ with T = 298 Kelvin

⇒ with Vfinal/Vinitial  = 2.40/1.20 = 2

W = -(0.200mol) * 8.3145 J/K*mol *298K *ln(2.4/1.2)

W = -343.5 J

The second experiment (reversible path) does more work
