Answer:

Explanation:

Oxidation number of neutral compound is 0

Oxidation number of hydrogen in methane is -1

C + (-1×4) = 0

C - 4 = 0

C = 4

"How much NH4Cl, when present in 2.00 liters of 0.200 M ammonia, will give a solution with pH = 8.20? For NH3, Kb = 1.8 x 10-5"

Andru [333]

Answer:

245.66g of NH₄Cl is the mass we need to add to obtain the desire pH

Explanation:

The mixture of NH3/NH4Cl produce a buffer. We can find the pH of a buffer using H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻] / [HA]

<em>Where [A⁻] is the molar concentration of the base, NH₃, and [HA] molar concentration of the acid, NH₄⁺. This molar concentration can be taken as the moles of each chemical</em>

<em />

First, we need to find pKa of NH₃ using Kb. Then, the moles of NH₃ and finally replace these values in H-H equation to solve moles of NH₄Cl we need to obtain the desire pH.

<em>pKa NH₃/NH₄⁺</em>

pKb = - log Kb

pKb = -log 1.8x10⁻⁵ = <em>4.74</em>

pKa = 14 - pKb

pKa = 14 - 4.74

pKa = 9.26

<em>Moles NH₃</em>

<em>2.00L ₓ (0.200mol NH₃ / L) = 0.400 moles NH₃</em>

<em>H-H equation:</em>

pH = pKa + log [NH₃] / [NH₄Cl]

8.20 = 9.26 + log [0.400 moles] / [NH₄Cl]

-1.06 = log [0.400 moles] / [NH₄Cl]

0.0087 = [0.400 moles] / [NH₄Cl]

[NH₄Cl] = 0.400 moles / 0.0087

[NH₄Cl] = 4.59 moles of NH₄Cl we need to add to original solution to obtain a pH of 8.20. In grams (Using molar mass NH₄Cl=53.491g/mol):

4.59 moles NH₄Cl ₓ (53.491g / mol) =

If 9.85 grams of copper metal react with 31.0 grams of silver nitrate, how many grams of copper nitrate can be formed and how ma

goldfiish [28.3K]

The balanced chemical reaction:

<span>Cu + 2AgNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag
</span>
We are given the amount of the reactants to be used for the reaction. These values will be the starting point of our calculations.

9.85 g Cu ( 1 mol Cu / 63.55 g Cu ) = 0.15 mol Cu
31.0 g AgNO3 ( 1 mol AgNO3 / 169.87 g AgNO3 ) = 0.18 mol AgNO3

The limiting reactant is AgNO3.

0.18 mol AgNO3 ( 1 mol Cu(NO3)2 / 2 mol AgNO3 ) (187.56 g / 1 mol) =16.88 g Cu(NO3)2

0.15 mol Cu - 0.18 mol AgNO3 ( 1 mol Cu / 2 mol AgNo3) = 0.06 mol Cu excess

<span>0.06 mol Cu ( 63.55 g Cu / 1 mol Cu ) = 3.81 g Cu excess</span>

vitfil [10]

The boiling point of hydrocarbons generally increases as the size of the molecules increases because more bonds are needs to be broken in larger organic molecules.

<h3>What are hydrocarbons?</h3>

Hydrocarbons are organic compounds which here composed of hydrogen and carbon alone.

Hydrocarbons are grouped into families or homologous series based on a reactive group known as the gincyiial group

The homologous series include

alkanes
alkenes
alkynes

The boiling point generally increases as the size of the molecules increases because more bonds are needs to be broken in larger organic molecules.
