Calculate the ratio of naf to hf required to create a buffer with ph = 4.05.

NARA [144]

PH is the test of acidity or basicity of a solution. it follows the formula:
pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid] where NaF is the salt and HF is the acid in this case.

By literature, Ka of HF is 3.5*10^-4
pKa= -log(Ka)= 3.46 

pH = pKa + log [NaF / [HF] 

4.05 = 3.46 + log [NaF / [HF]

log [NaF / [HF] = 0.59

[NaF / [HF] = 3.89

What cultural differences does Herodotus notice between Greek ways of living and those of Persia and Egypt

Sindrei [870]

The Persian Wars mark an important turning point not only in Greek history but, indeed, in the course of all European civilization. First and foremost, because of its victory Greece was saved from the threat of external rule and could develop on its own. Handed this independence, the Greeks chose to follow a path which forever changed the course of modern life. Without their success in this conflict, they would, no doubt, never have had the liberty, means or conviction to invent, discover or create all they did: not just history but philosophy, science, drama, art, architecture, indeed most of the cornerstones of modern civilization. Another consequence of this victory, less immediate but equally important, was that it prevented the Persians from dominating the lands to the west of Greeceâ€”as noted above, it's likely the fertile fields of Italy and Sicily, not the rough dust of Greece, were the real target of Xerxes' imperial designsâ€”and there a tiny settlement called Rome had just begun to sprout, at that moment hardly a dot on the map, but it would later develop into a crucial player in the history of the West. Rome won freedom, too, in the Persian Wars, without ever fielding a single fighter. It's impossible to imagine how vastly different our world would be if Persia had conquered or exterminated the Romans before they'd ever had a chance to grow. Thus, the Greeks laid the groundwork for later Western culture, and Herodotus the foundation for understanding it. If so many of his facts look suspect or even prove incorrect, if he sometimes seems to set speculation and scandal over sober criticism and science, before condemning him we should recall that he founded this entire enterprise called history, a discipline which still bears the name he gave it. His critics should also bear in mind it's only because Herodotus set us on this path that we can even scorn his methods in the first place. To this most uncommon "common man," we owe an enormous collective debt.

The heats of combustion of ethane (C2H6) and butane (C4H10) are 52 kJ/g and 49 kJ/g, respectively. We need to produce 1.000 x 10

LekaFEV [45]

Answer :

(1) The number of grams needed of each fuel $(C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10})$ are 19.23 g and 20.41 g respectively.

(2) The number of moles of each fuel $(C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10})$ are 0.641 moles and 0.352 moles respectively.

(3) The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the fuels.

$C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O$

$C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O$

(4) The number of moles of $CO_2$ produced by burning each fuel is 1.28 mole and 1.41 mole respectively.

The fuel that emitting least amount of $CO_2$ is $C_2H_6$

Explanation :

Part 1 :

First we have to calculate the number of grams needed of each fuel $(C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10})$ .

As, 52 kJ energy required amount of $C_2H_6$ = 1 g

So, 1000 kJ energy required amount of $C_2H_6$ = $\frac{1000}{52}=19.23g$

and,

As, 49 kJ energy required amount of $C_4H_{10}$ = 1 g

So, 1000 kJ energy required amount of $C_4H_{10}$ = $\frac{1000}{49}=20.41g$

Part 2 :

Now we have to calculate the number of moles of each fuel $(C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10})$ .

Molar mass of $C_2H_6$ = 30 g/mole

Molar mass of $C_4H_{10}$ = 58 g/mole

$\text{ Moles of }C_2H_6=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_2H_6}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_2H_6}=\frac{19.23g}{30g/mole}=0.641moles$

and,

$\text{ Moles of }C_4H_{10}=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_4H_{10}}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_4H_{10}}=\frac{20.41g}{58g/mole}=0.352moles$

Part 3 :

Now we have to write down the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the fuels.

The balanced chemical reaction for combustion of $C_2H_6$ is:

$C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O$

and,

The balanced chemical reaction for combustion of $C_4H_{10}$ is:

$C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O$

Part 4 :

Now we have to calculate the number of moles of $CO_2$ produced by burning each fuel to produce 1000 kJ.

$C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O$

From this we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of $C_2H_6$ react to produce 2 moles of $CO_2$

As, 0.641 mole of $C_2H_6$ react to produce $0.641\times 2=1.28$ moles of $CO_2$

and,

$C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O$

From this we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of $C_4H_{10}$ react to produce 4 moles of $CO_2$

As, 0.352 mole of $C_4H_{10}$ react to produce $0.352\times 4=1.41$ moles of $CO_2$

So, the fuel that emitting least amount of $CO_2$ is $C_2H_6$
