This problem could be solved easily using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation used for preparing buffer solutions. The equation is written below:
pH = pKa + log[(salt/acid]
Where salt represents the molarity of salt (sodium lactate), while acid is the molarity of acid (lactic acid).
Moles of salt = 1 mol/L * 25 mL * 1 L/1000 mL = 0.025 moles salt
Moles of acid = 1 mol/L* 60 mL * 1 L/1000 mL = 0.06 moles acid
Total Volume = (25 mL + 60 mL)*(1 L/1000 mL) = 0.085 L
Molarity of salt = 0.025 mol/0.085 L = 0.29412 M
Molarity of acid = 0.06 mol/0.085 L = 0.70588 M
Thus,
pH = 3.86 + log(0.29412/0.70588)
pH = 3.48
Heterotrophic cells must ingest biomass to obtain their energy and nutrition. Heterotrophic microorganisms mostly feed upon dead plants and animals, and are known as decomposers. ... Some animals also specialize on feeding on dead organic matter, and are known as scavengers or detritivores. Hope this was helpful.
Answer:
C₃H₈(g) + 6 H₂O(g) ⇒ + 10 H₂(g) + 3 CO₂(g)
Explanation:
Propane can be turned into hydrogen by the two-step reforming process.
In the first step, propane and water react to form carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The balanced chemical equation is:
C₃H₈(g) + 3 H₂O(g) ⇒ 3 CO(g) + 7 H₂(g)
In the second step, carbon monoxide and water react to form hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The balanced chemical equation is:
CO(g) + H₂O(g) ⇒ H₂(g) + CO₂(g)
In order to get the net chemical equation for the overall process, we have to multiply the second step by 3 and add it to the first step. Then, we cancel what is repeated.
C₃H₈(g) + 3 H₂O(g) + 3 CO(g) + 3 H₂O(g) ⇒ 3 CO(g) + 7 H₂(g) + 3 H₂(g) + 3 CO₂(g)
C₃H₈(g) + 6 H₂O(g) ⇒ + 10 H₂(g) + 3 CO₂(g)
Answer:
Explanation:
Initial burette reading = 1.81 mL
final burette reading = 39.7 mL
volume of NaOH used = 39.7 - 1.81 = 37.89 mL .
37.89 mL of .1029 M NaOH is used to neutralise triprotic acid
No of moles contained by 37.89 mL of .1029 M NaOH
= .03789 x .1029 moles
= 3.89 x 10⁻³ moles
Since acid is triprotic , its equivalent weight = molecular weight / 3
No of moles of triprotic acid = 3.89 x 10⁻³ / 3
= 1.30 x 10⁻³ moles .
