First, we will get the average pH of the two given values:
average pH = (6.4+8) / (2) = 7.2
At this average pH, the concentration of the acid from the phenol red is equal to the concentration of the base.
pH = 7.2
[H+] = 10^(-7.2) = 6.3 * 10^-8

Phenol red has the general formula HA, this gives us:
HA <.......> H+ + A- 
At pH = 7.2, [H+] = [A-]
<span>Ka = [H+][A-]/ [HA]
</span>Ka = [H+] = <span>6.3 x 10^-8</span>

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

A compound is 42.9% C, 2.4% H, 16.7% N and 38.1% O by mass. Addition of 6.45 g of this compound to 50.0 mL benzene, C₆H₆ (d= 0.879 g/mL; Kf= 5.12 degrees Celsius/m), lowers the freezing point from 5.53 to 1.37 degrees Celsius. What is the molecular formula of this compound?

Answer : The molecular of the compound is, C_6H_4N_2O_4

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the mass of benzene.

\text{Mass of benzene}=\text{Density of benzene}\times \text{Volume of benzene}

\text{Mass of benzene}=0.879g/mL\times 50.0mL=43.95g

Now we have to calculate the molar mass of unknown compound.

Given:

Mass of unknown compound (solute) = 6.45 g

Mass of benzene (solvent) = 43.95 g  = 0.04395 kg

Formula used :  

\Delta T_f=K_f\times m\\\\\Delta T_f=K_f\times\frac{\text{Mass of unknown compound}}{\text{Molar mass of unknown compound}\times \text{Mass of benzene in Kg}}

where,

\Delta T_f = change in freezing point  = 5.53-1.37=4.16^oC

\Delta T_s = freezing point of solution

\Delta T^o = freezing point of benzene

Molal-freezing-point-depression constant (K_f) for benzene = 5.12^oC/m

m = molality

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

4.16^oC=(5.12^oC/m)\times \frac{6.45g}{\text{Molar mass of unknown compound}\times 0.04395kg}

\text{Molar mass of unknown compound}=180.6g/mol

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of C = 42.9 g

Mass of H = 2.4 g

Mass of N = 16.7 g

Mass of O = 38.1 g

Molar mass of C = 12 g/mole

Molar mass of H = 1 g/mole

Molar mass of N = 14 g/mole

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mole

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = \frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{42.9g}{12g/mole}=3.575moles

Moles of H = \frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{2.4g}{1g/mole}=2.4moles

Moles of N = \frac{\text{ given mass of N}}{\text{ molar mass of N}}= \frac{16.7g}{14g/mole}=1.193moles

Moles of O = \frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{38.1g}{16g/mole}=2.381moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = \frac{3.575}{1.193}=2.99\approx 3

For H = \frac{2.4}{1.193}=2.01\approx 2

For N = \frac{1.193}{1.193}=1

For O = \frac{2.381}{1.193}=1.99\approx 2

The ratio of C : H : N : O = 3 : 2 : 1 : 2

The mole ratio of the element is represented by subscripts in empirical formula.

The Empirical formula = C_3H_2N_1O_2

The empirical formula weight = 3(12) + 2(1) + 1(14) + 2(16) = 84 gram/eq

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula of the compound.

Formula used :

n=\frac{\text{Molecular formula}}{\text{Empirical formula weight}}

n=\frac{180.6}{84}=2

Molecular formula = (C_3H_2N_1O_2)_n=(C_3H_2N_1O_2)_2=C_6H_4N_2O_4

Therefore, the molecular of the compound is, C_6H_4N_2O_4

20.00 g of aluminum (Al) reacts with 78.78 grams of molecular chlorine (Cl2), all of each reaction is completely consumed and as
shepuryov [24]

The reaction forms 98.76 g AlCl_3.  

We have the masses of two reactants, so this is a <em>limiting reactant problem</em>.

We know that we will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses of the compounds involved.  

<em>Step 1. Gather all the information</em> in one place with molar masses above the formulas and everything else below them.  

M_r: ___26.98 _70.91 __133.34

________2Al + 3Cl_2 → 2AlCl_3

Mass/g: 20.00 _78.78

<em>Step 2</em>. Calculate the <em>moles of each reactant</em>  

Moles of Al = 20.00 g Al × (1 mol Al /26.98 g Al) = 0.741 29 mol Al

Moles of Cl_2 = 78.78 g Cl_2 × (1 mol Cl_2 /70.91 g Cl_2) = 1.11 10 mol Cl_2

Step 3. Identify the <em>limiting reactant</em>  

Calculate the moles of AlCl_3 we can obtain from each reactant.  

<em>From Al</em>: Moles of AlCl_3 = 0.741 29 mol Al × (2 mol AlCl_3/2 mol Al) = 0.741 29 mol AlCl_3

<em>From Cl_2</em>: Moles of AlCl_3 = 1.11 10 mol Cl_2 × (2 mol AlCl_3/3 mol Cl_2) = 0.740 66 mol AlCl_3

<em>Cl_2 is the limiting reactant</em> because it gives the smaller amount of AlCl_3.

<em>Step 4</em>. Calculate the <em>mass of AlCl_3</em>.

Mass = 0.740 66 mol AlCl_3 × 133.34 g/1 mol AlCl_3 = 98.76 g AlCl_3

The reaction produces 98.76 g AlCl_3.
