When an ionic compound dissolves in water: When an ionic compound dissolves in water: the solvent-solute attractive forces overc

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

each of the above (A, B, and C) occurs

Explanation:

When an ionic compound dissolves in the water, the following happens :

-- the solvent solute attractive forces tries to overcome the solute solute attractions.

-- the water dipoles' negative end attracts the positive ions

-- the water dipoles' positive end attracts the negative ions

For example,

NaCl which is an ionic compound and also a strong electrolyte, it dissociates into water on the hydrated Na cations as well as Cl anions.

In water, the oxygen has negative charge and thus attracts the positive ions of the sodium, whereas the hydrogen is of positive and it attract the ions of chlorine which is negative.

Benzoic acid is a natural fungicide that naturally occurs in many fruits and berries. The sodium salt of benzoic acid, sodium be

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

a. pH = 2.52

b. pH = 8.67

c. pH = 12.83

Explanation:

The equation of the titration between the benzoic acid and NaOH is:

C₆H₅CO₂H + OH⁻ ⇄ C₆H₅CO₂⁻ + H₂O (1)

a. To find the pH after the addition of 20.0 mL of NaOH we need to find the number of moles of C₆H₅CO₂H and NaOH:

$\eta_{NaOH} = C*V = 0.250 M*0.020 L = 5.00 \cdot 10^{-3} moles$

$\eta_{C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}H}i = C*V = 0.300 M*0.050 L = 0.015 moles$

From the reaction between the benzoic acid and NaOH we have the following number of moles of benzoic acid remaining:

$\eta_{C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}H} = \eta_{C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}H}i - \eta_{NaOH} = 0.015 moles - 5.00 \cdot 10^{-3} moles = 0.01 moles$

The concentration of benzoic acid is:

$C = \frac{\eta}{V} = \frac{0.01 moles}{(0.020 + 0.050) L} = 0.14 M$

Now, from the dissociation equilibrium of benzoic acid we have:

C₆H₅CO₂H + H₂O ⇄ C₆H₅CO₂⁻ + H₃O⁺

0.14 - x x x

$Ka = \frac{[C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}^{-}][H_{3}O^{+}]}{[C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}H]}$

$Ka = \frac{x*x}{0.14 - x}$

$6.5 \cdot 10^{-5}*(0.14 - x) - x^{2} = 0$ (2)

By solving equation (2) for x we have:

x = 0.0030 = [C₆H₅CO₂⁻] = [H₃O⁺]

Finally, the pH is:

$pH = -log([H_{3}O^{+}]) = -log (0.0030) = 2.52$

b. At the equivalence point, the benzoic acid has been converted to its conjugate base for the reaction with NaOH so, the equilibrium equation is:

C₆H₅CO₂⁻ + H₂O ⇄ C₆H₅CO₂H + OH⁻ (3)

The number of moles of C₆H₅CO₂⁻ is:

$\eta_{C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}^{-}} = \eta_{C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}H}i = 0.015 moles$

The volume of NaOH added is:

$V = \frac{\eta}{C} = \frac{0.015 moles}{0.250 M} = 0.060 L$

The concentration of C₆H₅CO₂⁻ is:

$C = \frac{\eta}{V} = \frac{0.015 moles}{(0.060 L + 0.050 L)} = 0.14 M$

From the equilibrium of equation (3) we have:

C₆H₅CO₂⁻ + H₂O ⇄ C₆H₅CO₂H + OH⁻

0.14 - x x x

$Kb = \frac{[C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}H][OH^{-}]}{[C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}^{-}]}$

$(\frac{Kw}{Ka})*(0.14 - x) - x^{2} = 0$

$(\frac{1.00 \cdot 10^{-14}}{6.5 \cdot 10^{-5}})*(0.14 - x) - x^{2} = 0$

By solving the equation above for x, we have:

x = 4.64x10⁻⁶ = [C₆H₅CO₂H] = [OH⁻]

The pH is:

$pOH = -log[OH^{-}] = -log(4.64 \cdot 10^{-6}) = 5.33$

$pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 5.33 = 8.67$

c. To find the pH after the addition of 100 mL of NaOH we need to find the number of moles of NaOH:

$\eta_{NaOH}i = C*V = 0.250 M*0.100 L = 0.025 moles$

From the reaction between the benzoic acid and NaOH we have the following number of moles remaining:

$\eta_{NaOH} = \eta_{NaOH}i - \eta_{C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}H} = 0.025 moles - 0.015 moles = 0.010 moles$

The concentration of NaOH is:

$C = \frac{\eta}{V} = \frac{0.010 moles}{0.100 L + 0.050 L} = 0.067 M$

Therefore, the pH is given by this excess of NaOH:

$pOH = -log([OH^{-}]) = -log(0.067) = 1.17$

$pH = 14 - pOH = 12.83$

I hope it helps you!

How can acids cause chemical weathering

scoray [572]

Acid rain slowly dissolves rocks due to chemical reactions between the acid and the minerals in the rock. Differential Weathering: Softer, less resistant rocks wear away at a faster rate than more weather resistant rocks. More exposure to acid rain results in more rapid weathering.
