Answer:

5.86

Explanation:

The equation of reaction is between methylamine and hydrochloric acid

CH₃NH₂   +   HCl -------> CH₃NH⁺₃     +      Cl⁻

At equivalence point, there is a mixture of equal volume of acid and base. As such, the concentration of CH₃NH⁺₃ will be half the initial starting concentration of the reactant.

i.e [CH₃NH⁺₃] = \frac{0.190}{2}

= 0.095 M

Now, the dissociation of CH₃NH⁺₃ yields

CH₃NH⁺₃       ⇄      CH₃NH₂      +      H⁺

The ICE Table can be constructed as follows:

                      CH₃NH⁺₃       ⇄      CH₃NH₂      +      H⁺

Initial                0.095                        0                      0

Change            -x                                x                      x

Equilibrium    (0.095 - x)                     x                     x

K_a =\frac{[CH_3NH_2][H^+]}{[CH_3NH^+_3]}

K_a =  \frac{[x][x]}{[0.095-x]}

K_a =  \frac{[x^2]}{[0.095-x]}     ------ equation (1)

We all know that:

K_a = \frac{K_w}{K_b}

and we are given K_b = 5.0*10^{-4;  and K_w = 10^{-14 ;

Then;

K_a= \frac{10^{-14}}{5*10^{-4}}

K_a = 2*10^{-11}

We can now re-write the equation (1) to be :

2*10^{-11} = \frac{x^2}{0.095-x}

x^2 = 2*10^{-11} (0.095 -x)

x^2 = 1.9*10^{-12} - 2*10^{-11}x

x^2 + (2*10^{-11})x - (1.9*10^{-12})  = 0

where a = 1; b = 2×10⁻¹¹; c = 1.9×10⁻¹²

Using the quadratic formula; \frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} ; we have

= \frac{-(2*10^{-11})+\sqrt{(-(2*10^{-11})^2-4(1)(1.9*10^{-12})} }{2*1}  OR \frac{-(2*10^{-11})-\sqrt{(-(2*10^{-11})^2-4(1)(1.9*10^{-12})} }{2*1}

x = 1.38*10^{-6}M

[CH₃NH₂] = [H⁺] =  1.38*10^{-6}M

∴ pH = -log [H⁺]

pH = -log 1.38*10^{-6}M

pH = 5.86

Hence, the  pH at the equivalence point for the titration  = 5.86

How would you prepare 500 mL of 0.360 M solution of CaCl2 from<br> solid CaCl2?
LenKa [72]

We need to measure 20.0 grams of CaCl₂ to prepare 500 mL of 0.360 M solution.

First, we need to determine the required moles of CaCl₂. We have 500 mL (0.500 L) of a 0.360 M solution (0.360 moles of CaCl₂ per liter of solution).

0.500 L \times \frac{0.360mol}{L} = 0.180 mol

Then, we will convert 0.180 moles to grams using the molar mass of CaCl₂ (110.98 g/mol).

0.180 mol \times \frac{110.98g}{mol} = 20.0 g

To prepare the solution, we weigh 20.0 g of CaCl₂ and add it to a beaker with enough distilled water to dissolve it. We stir it, heat it if necessary, and when we have a solution, we transfer it to a 500 mL flask and complete it to the mark with distilled water.

We need to measure 20.0 grams of CaCl₂ to prepare 500 mL of 0.360 M solution.

The following reaction is exothermic. C6H12O6(s)+6O2(g)⇌6CO2(g)+6H2O(g)C6H12O6(s)+6O2(g)⇌6CO2(g)+6H2O(g) Predict the effect (shi
elena55 [62]

Answer:

According to Le Chatelier's principle, increasing the reaction temperature of an exothermic reaction causes a shift to the left and decreasing the reaction temperature causes a shift to the right.

Explanation:

C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) ⇌6CO2(g) + 6H2O(g)

We are told that the forward reaction is exothermic, meaning heat is removed from the reacting substance to the surroundings.

According to Le Chatelier's principle,

1. for an exothermic reaction, on increasing the temperature, there is a shift in equilibrium to the left and formation of the product is favoured.

2. if the temperature of the system is decreased, the equilibrium shifts to right and the formation of the reactants is favoured.

3. if the reaction temperature is kept constant, the system is at equilibrium and there is no shift to the right nor to the left.
