Answer:

a. pH = 2.04

b. pH = 3.85

c. pH = 8.06

d. pH = 11.56

Explanation:

The nitrous acid is a weak acid (Ka = 5.6x10⁻⁴) that reacts with NaOH as follows:

HNO₂ + NaOH → NaNO₂(aq) + H₂O(l)

a. At the beginning there is just a solution of 0.12M HNO₂. As Ka is:

Ka = [H⁺] [NO₂⁻] / [HNO₂]

Where [H⁺] and [NO₂⁻] ions comes from the same equilibrium ([H⁺] = [NO₂⁻] = X):

5.6x10⁻⁴ = X² / 0.15M

8.4x10⁻⁵ = X²

X = [H⁺] = 9.165x10⁻³M

As pH = -log [H⁺]

<h3>pH = 2.04</h3><h3 />

b. At this point we have HNO₂ and NaNO₂ (The weak acid and the conjugate base), a buffer. The pH of a buffer is obtained using H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [NaNO₂] / [HNO₂]

<em>Where pH is the pH of the buffer,</em>

<em>pKa is -log Ka = 3.25</em>

<em>And [NaNO₂] [HNO₂] could be taken as the moles of each compound.</em>

<em />

The initial moles of HNO₂ are:

0.100L * (0.15mol / L) = 0.015moles

The moles of base added are:

0.0800L * (0.15mol / L) = 0.012moles

The moles of base added = Moles of NaNO₂ produced = 0.012moles.

And the moles of HNO₂ that remains are:

0.015moles - 0.012moles = 0.003moles

Replacing in H-H equation:

pH = 3.25 + log [0.012moles] / [0.003moles]

<h3>pH = 3.85</h3><h3 />

c. At equivalence point all HNO2 reacts producing NaNO₂. The volume added of NaOH must be 100mL. That means the concentration of the NaNO₂ is:

0.15M / 2 = 0.075M

The NaNO₂ is in equilibrium with water as follows:

NaNO₂(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HNO₂(aq) + OH⁻(aq) + Na⁺

The equilibrium constant, kb, is:

Kb = Kw/Ka = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 5.6x10⁻⁴ = 1.79x10⁻¹¹ = [OH⁻] [HNO₂] / [NaNO₂]

<em>Where [OH⁻] = [HNO₂] = x</em>

<em>[NaNO₂] = 0.075M</em>

<em />

1.79x10⁻¹¹ = [X] [X] / [0.075M]

1.34x10⁻¹² = X²

X = 1.16x10⁻⁶M = [OH⁻]

pOH = -log [OH-] = 5.94

pH = 14-pOH

<h3>pH = 8.06</h3><h3 />

d. At this point, 5mL of NaOH are added in excess, the moles are:

5mL = 5x10⁻³L * (0.15mol / L) =7.5x10⁻⁴moles NaOH

In 100mL + 105mL = 205mL = 0.205L. [NaOH] = 7.5x10⁻⁴moles NaOH / 0.205L =

3.66x10⁻³M = [OH⁻]

pOH = 2.44

pH = 14 - pOH

<h3>pH = 11.56</h3>

Moving molecules make things? heat up or cool down
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Heat up.

Explanation:

The faster molecules move the warmer an object becomes.

For example boiling water, when you boil water the water molecules will be moving extremely fast.

The slower molecules move, the colder an object is. For example an ice cube. All the molecules are only vibrating.

Hope this helps:)

Suppose you could watch radioactive atoms decay. It would probably get quite boring as time went by. Why?
kari74 [83]

Answer: the answer should and most definitely be D.

Explanation: I mean think about it after a while only a few radioactive nuclei are left which means it will dye down after a while which also makes it very boring hope this helps :)
