For each of the following compounds, indicate the pH at which 50% of the compound will be in a form that possesses a charge and at which pH more than 99% of the compound will be in a form that possesses a charge.
ClCH2COOH (pKa = 2.86)
CH3CH2NH+3 (pKa = 10.7)
Express your answer using two decimal places
a. Determine a pH at which 50% of ClCH2COOH will be in a form that possesses a charge.
b. Determine a pH at which pH more than 99% of ClCH2COOH will be in a form that possesses a charge.
c. Determine a pH at which 50% of CH3CH2NH+3 will be in a form that possesses a charge.
d. Determine a pH at which pH more than 99% of CH3CH2NH+3 will be in a form that possesses a charge.
Answer:
a. 2..86 b. 4.86 c. 10.7 d. 8.7
Explanation:
a. Determine a pH at which 50% of ClCH2COOH will be in a form that possesses a charge.
Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,
pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]
where [A⁻] = concentration of conjugate base (or charged form) and [HA] = concentration of acid.
At 50% concentration, [A⁻] = [HA] ⇒ [A⁻]/[HA] = 1
So, pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]
pH = pKa + log1
pH = pKa = 2.86
b. Determine a pH at which pH more than 99% of ClCH2COOH will be in a form that possesses a charge.
Let x be the concentration of the acid. Since 99% of it should possess a charge, the basic concentration is 0.99x while the acidic concentration is remaining 1 % (1 - 0.99)x = 0.01x
Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,
pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA] where [A⁻] = concentration of conjugate base (or charged form) = 0.99x and [HA] = concentration of acid = 0.01x.
pH = pKa + log0.99x/0.01x
pH = pKa + log0.99/0.01
pH = 2.86 + log99
pH = 2.86 + 1.996
pH = 4.856
pH ≅ 4.86
c. Determine a pH at which 50% of CH3CH2NH+3 will be in a form that possesses a charge.
Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,
pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]
where [A⁻] = concentration of conjugate base and [HA] = concentration of acid.
At 50% concentration, [A⁻] = [HA] ⇒ [A⁻]/[HA] = 1
So, pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]
pH = pKa + log1
pH = pKa = 10.7
d. Determine a pH at which pH more than 99% of CH3CH2NH+3 will be in a form that possesses a charge.
Let x be the concentration of the acid. Since 99% of it should possess a charge, the basic concentration is 0.01x while the acidic concentration is remaining 99 % (1 - 0.01)x = 0.99x (which possesses the charge).
Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,
pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA] where [A⁻] = concentration of conjugate base = 0.01x and [HA] = concentration of acid = 0.99x.
pH = pKa + log0.01x/0.99x
pH = pKa + log1/99
pH = 10.7 - log99
pH = 10.7 - 1.996
pH = 8.704
pH ≅ 8.7
A rectangular piece of plastic has a width of 4.2 cm, a height of 1.9 cm and a length of 8.8 cm. If the mass of the plastic rectangle is 64.6 g, what is its density in g/mL?
Answer:
0.92g/mL
Explanation:
Density of a substance is calculated as follows:
Density = mass (m) ÷ volume (V)
According to this question, a rectangular piece of plastic has a width of 4.2 cm, a height of 1.9 cm and a length of 8.8 cm. Using the formula; L × W × H, the volume of the plastic can be calculated
V = L × W × H
V = 8.8 × 4.2 × 1.9
V = 70.2cm³
The mass of the plastic is 64.6g, hence, its density is:
Density = 64.6g ÷ 70.2cm³
Density of the rectangular plastic = 0.92g/cm³ or 0.92g/mL
A uniform plastic block floats in water with 50.0 % of its volume above the surface of the water. The block is placed in a second liquid and floats with 23.0 % of its volume above the surface of the liquid.
What is the density of the second liquid?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Answer:
density of second liquid = 650 kg/m³
Explanation:
Given that:
The volume of the plastic block submerged inside the water = 0.5 V
The force on the plastic block = [tex]\rho_1V_1g[/tex]
[tex]= 0.5p_1 V_g[/tex]
when the block is floating, the weight supporting the force (buoyancy force) is:
W [tex]= 0.5p_1 V_g[/tex]
[tex]\rho Vg = 0.5p_1 V_g[/tex]
[tex]\rho = 0.5 \rho _1[/tex]
where;
water density [tex]\rho _1[/tex] = 1000
[tex]\rho = 0.5 (1000)[/tex]
[tex]\rho = 500 kg/m^3[/tex]
In the second liquid, the volume of plastic block in the water = (100-23)%
= 77% = 0.7 V
The force on the plastic block is:
[tex]= 0.77p_2 V_g[/tex]
when the block is floating, the weight supporting the force (buoyancy force) is:
[tex]W = 0.77p_2 V_g[/tex]
[tex]\rho Vg = 0.77 \rho_2 V_g \\ \\ \rho = 0.77 \rho_2 \\ \\ 500 = 0.77 \rho_2 \\ \\ \rho_2 = 500/0.77[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{ \rho_2 \simeq 650 \ kg/m^3}[/tex]
A sample of oxygen occupies 1.00 L. If the temperature remains constant, and the pressure on the oxygen is decreased to one third the original pressure, what is the new volume
Answer:
3.00 L
Explanation:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
V₁ = 1.00 L
P₁ = (x) atm
P₂ = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] · (P₁) = [tex]\frac{x}{3}[/tex]
V₂ = unknown
(x atm)(1.00 L) = ( [tex]\frac{x}{3}[/tex] atm)(V₂)
divide both sides by ( [tex]\frac{x}{3}[/tex] atm)
( 1.00x )( [tex]\frac{3}{x}[/tex] ) = V₂
x cancels out
(1.00)(3) = V₂
V₂ = 3.00 L
Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), which has glass transition (Tg) and crystalline melting (Tm) temperature of 69 and 267 °C, respectively, can exist in a number of different states depending upon temperature and thermal history. Thus, it is possible to prepare materials that are semicrystalline with amorphous regions that are either glassy or rubbery and amorphous materials that are glassy, rubbery or melts. Consider a sample of PET cooled rapidly from 300 °C (state A) to room temperature. The resulting material is rigid and perfectly transparent (state B). The sample is then heated to 100 °C and maintained at this temperature, during which time is gradually becomes translucent (state C). It is then cooled to room temperature, where it is again observed to be translucent (state D).
Answer:
Following are the solution to the given points:
Explanation:
For point A:
The sample cooking (PET) is between 300°C and room temperature.Now in nature, the substance is exceedingly stiff.Samples of PET up to 100°C were heated and stayed on equal footing.Now it has cooled off the same sample below 100° C and we may see how it is again TRASNEPARENT in nature.For point B:
In point 3, the mixture was added to 100°C, which implies that the granular material flows and deforms, enabling it to become elongated. This is termed solid-state crystalline such that grains are flexible, but this material contaminates numerous little crystalline that has spheres when we cool down in point 4 polymers. It forms therefore an unstructured solid, which then in point 4 is higher in particles and less pliable in orderly atoms.
For point C:
In point 2, the specimen gets forced at room temperature to organize a huge molecule in an ordinary and crystal fashion and therefore is transparent due to highly crystalline atoms in point 2 of the PET sample.
In point 4, however, we notice how amorphous, firm but not crystalline develops. It's why light tends to disperse over many cereal limits, since many microscopic crystallines, therefore dispersion, PET in point 4 is translucent.
How can a Bose-Einstein condensate be formed? A. B super-heating a gas. B. By super-cooling certain types of solid. C. By super-cooling certain types of plasma. D. By super-heating a plasma
Answer:
C. By super-cooling certain types of plasma.
Explanation:
Bose-Einstein condensate is a state of matter whereby atoms or particles become cooled to a very low energy state leading to their condensation to give a single quantum state.
Note that plasma refers to atoms that have had some or even all of its electrons stripped away leaving only positively charged ions. Simply put, plasma is ionized matter.
When certain types of plasma are super cooled, Bose-Einstein condensate are formed.

Calculate the molarity of a 17.5% (by mass) aqueous solution of nitric acid. Select one: a. 2.74 m b. 4.33 m c. 0.274 m d. 3.04 m e. The density of the solution is needed to solve the problem.
Answer:
Option e.
Explanation:
Molarity is the concentration that indicates moles of solute in 1 L of solution.
We have another concentration, percent by mass.
Percent by mass indicates mass of solute in 100 g of solution.
Our solute is HNO₃, our solvent is water.
17.5 g of nitric acid is the mass of solute. We can convert them to moles:
17.5 g . 1mol / 63g = 0.278 moles
We do not have volume of solution. We assume the mass is 100 g because the percent by mass but we need density to state the volume.
Density = Mass / Volume
Mass / Density = Volume
Once we have the volume, we need to be sure the units is in L, to determine molarity
M = mol /L

How many electrons are shown in the following electron
configuration: 1s22s22p63s 23p64s23d104p65s24d105p66s2 ?
Express your answer numerically as an integer.
Answer:
1s22s22p6
Explanation:
Neon is an element in the periodic table and has an atomic number of 10, which means it has 10 protons in its nucleus and thus since the number of protons and electrons is the same then it has 10 electrons.
Therefore, it has 2 electrons in the first energy shell and 8 electrons in the second energy shell. To elaborate further, the first shell has a single s-sub shell that contains a single s-orbital that can hold two electrons. The second energy shell has a single s-sub-shell whose s-orbital will occupy 2 electrons, and also has a p-orbital which can hold 6 electrons, making the second shell to have 8 electrons.

Cr(NO3)3(aq)+Na3PO4(aq)=3NaNO3(s)+CrPO4(aq)
Number of moles of chromium nitrate = 37g/ 146.97 g/mol = 0.25 moles
1 mole of sodium phosphate reacts with 1 mole of chromium nitrate
x moles of sodium phosphate react as with 0.25 moles of chromium nitrate
x= 1 × 0.25/1
x= 0.25 moles
Mass of sodium phosphate = 0.25 moles × 163.94 g/mol
Mass of sodium phosphate = 41 g
What is true about the properties of liquids and gases?
Gas particles are much more densely packed than liquid particles.
The crystal lattice structure of liquids is more defined than in gases.
Liquids form amorphous crystals while gases do not.
There are strong intermolecular forces between particles that make up liquids, but not gases.
Answer:
There are strong intermolecular forces between particles that make up liquids, but not gases.
Explanation:
Solids, liquids and gases are the three states of matter that exists. However, they possess varying properties that distinguishes them from one another. One of these properties is the strength of the intermolecular forces that hold their molecules together.
The intermolecular forces of each state of matter becomes weak in this order: solid>liquid>gas.
- Intermolecular forces in solid molecules are very strong, hence making them compact and well attached to each other.
- Intermolecular forces in liquid molecules are not too strong, hence, cannot exist in a fixed position but tend to flow.
- Intermolecular forces in gaseous molecules are very weak, hence, gases can move easily and rapidly in any given space.

1. Most of the chemicals included in your General Chemistry Lab kit can be discarded down a drain. Describe a situation in which you would need to neutralize a chemical before discarding down a drain.
Answer: Chemicals like acids and bases are harmful and must be neutralized before draining.
Explanation:
A strong acid or strong base is required to be diluted or neutralized before it is discarded in the drain as if is discarded without diluting and neutralization it can spill and splash from sink or drain and can harm people in chemistry lab, moreover the fumes of the discarded chemical on spilling can cause respiratory tract burning and can even cause fire hazard so it must be converted into less harmful form and then must be drained.

What is the energy change when 78.0 g of Hg melt at −38.8°C
Answer:
The correct answer is - 2.557 KJ
Explanation:
In this case, Hg is melting, the process is endothermic, so the energy change will have a positive sign.
we can calculate this energy by the following formula:
Q = met
where, m = mass,
e = specific heat
t = temperature
then,
Q = 78*0.14* (273-38.8)
here 0.14 = C(Hg)
= 2.557 Kj
Write a balanced half-reaction for the oxidation of liquid water to aqueous hydrogen peroxide in basic aqueous solution. Be sure to add physical state symbols where appropriate.
Answer:
O2(g) + 2H2O(l) --------> 2H2O2(aq) + 2e
Explanation:
An oxidation reaction reaction refers to a reaction in which electrons are lost. In this case, we are about to see the full balanced half-reaction for the oxidation of liquid water to aqueous hydrogen peroxide in basic aqueous solution.
The full equation is;
O2(g) + 2H2O(l) --------> 2H2O2(aq) + 2e
So, two electrons were lost in the process.
A student prepares a aqueous solution of acetic acid . Calculate the fraction of acetic acid that is in the dissociated form in his solution. Express your answer as a percentage. You will probably find some useful data in the ALEKS Data resource.
Answer:
10.71%
Explanation:
The dissociation of acetic acid can be well expressed as follow:
CH₃COOH ⇄ CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺
Let assume that the prepared amount of the aqueous solution is 14mM since it is not given:
Then:
The I.C.E Table is expressed as follows:
CH₃COOH ⇄ CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺
Initial 0.0014 0 0
Change - x +x +x
Equilibrium (0.0014 - x) x x
Recall that:
Ka for acetic acid CH₃COOH = 1.8×10⁻⁵
∴
[tex]K_a = \dfrac{[x][x]]}{[0.0014-x]}[/tex]
[tex]1.8*10^{-5} = \dfrac{[x][x]]}{[0.0014-x]}[/tex]
[tex]1.8*10^{-5} = \dfrac{[x]^2}{[0.0014-x]}[/tex]
[tex]1.8*10^{-5}(0.0014-x) = x^2[/tex]
[tex]2.52*10^{-8} -1.8*10^{-5}x = x^2[/tex]
[tex]2.52*10^{-8} -1.8*10^{-5}x - x^2 =0[/tex]
By rearrangement:
[tex]- x^2 -1.8*10^{-5}x +2.52*10^{-8}= 0[/tex]
Multiplying through by (-) and solving the quadratic equation:
[tex]x^2 +1.8*10^{-5}x-2.52*10^{-8}= 0[/tex]
[tex](-0.00015 + x) (0.000168 + x) =0[/tex]
x = 0.00015 or x = -0.000168
We will only consider the positive value;
so x=[CH₃COO⁻] = [H⁺] = 0.00015
CH₃COOH = (0.0014 - 0.00015) = 0.00125
However, the percentage fraction of the dissociated acetic acid is:
[tex]= \dfrac{ 0.00015}{0.0014}\times 100[/tex]
= 10.71%

A hypothetical A-B alloy of composition 53 wt% B-47 wt% A at some temperature is found to consist of mass fractions of 0.5 for both and phases. If the composition of the phase is 92 wt% B-8 wt% A, what is the composition of the phase
Answer:
the composition of the ∝ phase C∝ = 14 or [ 14 wt% B-86 wt% A ]
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Co = 53 or [ 53 wt% B-47 wt% A ]
W∝ = 0.5 = Wβ
Cβ = 92 or [ 92 wt% B-8 wt% A ]
Now, lets set up the Lever rule for W∝ as follows;
W∝ = [ Cβ - Co ] / [ Cβ - C∝ ]
so we substitute our given values into the expression;
0.5 = [ 92 - 53 ] / [ 92 - C∝ ]
0.5 = 39 / [ 92 - C∝ ]
0.5[ 92 - C∝ ] = 39
46 - 0.5C∝ = 39
0.5C∝ = 46 - 39
0.5C∝ = 7
C∝ = 7 / 0.5
C∝ = 14 or [ 14 wt% B-86 wt% A ]
Therefore, the composition of the ∝ phase C∝ = 14 or [ 14 wt% B-86 wt% A ]

Classify each molecule as an alcohol, ketone, or aldehyde based on its name. Propanone (acetone) Choose... Ethanal Choose... 3-phenyl-2-propenal Choose... Butanone Choose... Ethanol Choose... 2-propanol Choose...
Answer:
1.) Propanone (ketone)
2.) Ethanal( aldehyde)
3.) 3-phenyl-2-propenal (aldehyde)
4.) Butanone (ketone)
5.) Ethanol ( alcohol)
6.) 2-propanol (alcohol)
Explanation:
In organic chemistry, ALCOHOL ( also known as alkanol) are compounds in which hydroxyl groups are linked to alkyl groups. They can be considered as being derived from the corresponding alkanes by replacing the hydrogen atoms with hydroxyl groups. The hydroxyl group is the functional group of the alcohol as it is responsible for their characteristic chemical properties. A typical example of alcohol is ethanol and 2-propanol.
Alkanals or ALDEHYDES have the general formula RCHO while alkanones or KETONES have the general formula RR'CO where R and R' may be alkyl or aryl groups. The main similarity between these two classes of compounds is the presence of the carbonyl group. In aldehydes, there is a hydrogen atom attached to the carbon In the carbonyl group while there is none on the ketones.
Some common examples of ketones are Propanone, Butanone while examples of aldehydes are Ethanal and 3-phenyl-2-propenal
