) Do you think the pH of 1,0 M tri-methyl ammonium (CH3)3NH+, pKa = 9.80, will be higher or lower than that of 1.0 M phenol, C6H

Elanso [62]

Answer:

1. The pH of 1.0 M trimethyl ammonium (pH = 1.01) is lower than the pH of 0.1 M phenol (5.00).

2. The difference in pH values is 4.95.

Explanation:

1. The pH of a compound can be found using the following equation:

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

First, we need to find [H₃O⁺] for trimethyl ammonium and for phenol.

Trimethyl ammonium:

We can calculate [H₃O⁺] using the Ka as follows:

(CH₃)₃NH⁺ + H₂O → (CH₃)₃N + H₃O⁺

1.0 - x x x

$Ka = \frac{[(CH_{3})_{3}N][H_{3}O^{+}]}{[(CH_{3})_{3}NH^{+}]}$

$10^{-pKa} = \frac{x*x}{1.0 - x}$

$10^{-9.80}(1.0 - x) - x^{2} = 0$

By solving the above equation for x we have:

x = 0.097 = [H₃O⁺]

$pH = -log([H_{3}O^{+}]) = -log(0.097) = 1.01$

Phenol:

C₆H₅OH + H₂O → C₆H₅O⁻ + H₃O⁺

1.0 - x x x

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

$10^{-10} = \frac{x^{2}}{1.0 - x}$

$1.0 \cdot 10^{-10}(1.0 - x) - x^{2} = 0$

Solving the above equation for x we have:

x = 9.96x10⁻⁶ = [H₃O⁺]

$pH = -log([H_{3}O^{+}]) = -log(9.99 \cdot 10^{-6}) = 5.00$

Hence, the pH of 1.0 M trimethyl ammonium is lower than the pH of 0.1 M phenol.

2. The difference in pH values for the two acids is:

$\Delta pH = pH_{C_{6}H_{5}OH} - pH_{(CH_{3})_{3}NH^{+}} = 5.00 - 1.01 = 4.95$

Therefore, the difference in pH values is 4.95.

I hope it helps you!

LIMITING REACTANT!! Please help I’m very confused.

alexira [117]

Answer:

We'll have 1 mol Al2O3 and 3 moles H2

Explanation:

Step 1: data given

Numer of moles of aluminium = 2 moles

Number of moles of H2O = 6 moles

Step 2: The balanced equation

2Al + 3H2O → Al2O3 + 3H2

Step 3: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 2 moles Al we need 3 moles H2O to produce 1 mol Al2O3 and 3 moles H2

Aluminium is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (2 moles).

H2O is in excess. There will react 3/2 * 2 = 3 moles

There will remain 6 - 3 = 3 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles products

For 2 moles Al we need 3 moles H2O to produce 1 mol Al2O3 and 3 moles H2

For 2 moles Al we'll have 2/1 = 1 mol Al2O3

For 2 moles Al We'll have 3/2 * 2 = 3 moles H2

We'll have 1 mol Al2O3 and 3 moles H2

How many grams of oxygen are required to react with 13.0 grams of octane (C8H18) in the combustion of octane in gasoline?

egoroff_w [7]

Grams of oxygen are required to react with 13.0 grams of octane (C8H18) in the combustion of octane in gasoline is 45.5g

Octane is a hydrocarbon which burns in gasoline in presence of oxygen according to the given balanced chemical equation,

2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂------> 16CO₂ + 18H₂0

Molar mass of octane = 114.23g/mol

Molar mass of Oxygen = 32g/mol

According to the stiochiometry of the balanced equation the mole ratio of Octane and Oxygen is 2:25

2 mole of octane needs 25 mole of oxygen

1 mole of octane needs 12.5 moleof oxygen

114.23g of octane needs 400g of oxygen

13g of octane needs 45.5g of oxygen

Mass of oxygen needed =45.5g

Hence, the Mass of oxygen needed is 45.5g for the combustion of octane in gasoline.
