a. 1,4332 g
b. 7.54~g
<h3>Further explanation</h3>Given
Reaction
MgCl2 (s) + 2 AgNO3 (aq) → Mg(NO3)2 (aq) + 2 AgCl (s)
20 cm of 2.5 mol/dm^3 of MgCl2
20 cm of 2.5 g/dm^3 of MgCl2
Required
the mass of silver chloride - AgCl
Solution
a. mol MgCl2 :
From equation, mol AgCl = 2 x mol MgCl2=2 x 0.05=0.1
mass AgCl(MW=143,32 g/mol)= 0.1 x 143,32=1,4332 g
b. mol MgCl2 (MW=95.211 /mol):
From equation, mol AgCl = 2 x mol MgCl2=2 x 0.0263=0.0526
mass AgCl(MW=143,32 g/mol)= 0.0526 x 143,32=7.54~g
Answer : The fraction of carbonic acid present in the blood is 5.95%
Explanation :
The mixture consists of carbonic acid ( H₂CO₃) and bicarbonate ion ( HCO₃⁻). This represents a mixture of weak acid and its conjugate which is a buffer.
The pH of a buffer is calculated using Henderson equation which is given below.
We have been given,
pH = 7.5
pKa of carbonic acid = 6.3
Let us plug in the values in Henderson equation to find the ratio Base/Acid.
The total of mole fraction of acid and base is 1. Therefore we have,
But Base = 15.8 x [Acid]. Let us plug in this value in above equation.
[Acid] = 0.0595 x 100 = 5.95 %
The fraction of carbonic acid present in the blood is 5.95%
