A 1.0-L buffer solution contains 0.100 mol HC2H3O2 and 0.100 mol NaC2H3O2. The value of Ka for HC2H3O2 is 1.8×10−5.
Calculate the pH of the solution, upon addition of 0.035 mol of NaOH to the original buffer.
Answer:
The pH of this solution = 5.06
Explanation:
Given that:
number of moles of CH3COOH = 0.100 mol
volume of the buffer solution = 1.0 L
number of moles of NaC2H3O2 = 0.100 mol
The objective is to Calculate the pH of the solution, upon addition of 0.035 mol of NaOH to the original buffer.
we know that concentration in mole = Molarity/volume
Then concentration of [CH3COOH] = [tex]\mathtt{ \dfrac{0.100 \ mol}{ 1.0 \ L }}[/tex] = 0.10 M
The chemical equation for this reaction is :
[tex]\mathtt{CH_3COOH + OH^- \to CH_3COO^- + H_2O}[/tex]
The conjugate base is CH3COO⁻
The concentration of the conjugate base [CH3COO⁻] is = [tex]\mathtt{ \dfrac{0.100 \ mol}{ 1.0 \ L }}[/tex]
= 0.10 M
where the pka (acid dissociation constant)for CH3COOH = 4.74
If 0.035 mol of NaOH is added to the original buffer, the concentration of NaOH added will be = [tex]\mathtt{ \dfrac{0.035 \ mol}{ 1.0 \ L }}[/tex] = 0.035 M
The ICE Table for the above reaction can be constructed as follows:
[tex]\mathtt{CH_3COOH \ \ \ + \ \ \ \ OH^- \ \ \to \ \ CH_3COO^- \ \ \ + \ \ \ H_2O}[/tex]
Initial 0.10 0.035 0.10 -
Change -0.035 -0.035 + 0.035 -
Equilibrium 0.065 0 0.135 -
By using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:
The pH of this solution = pKa + log [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{CH_3COO^-}{CH_3COOH}}[/tex]
The pH of this solution = 4.74 + log [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{0.135}{0.065}}[/tex]
The pH of this solution = 4.74 + log (2.076923077 )
The pH of this solution = 4.74 + 0.3174
The pH of this solution = 5.0574
The pH of this solution = 5.06 to two decimal places

If the heat of combustion for a specific compound is −1320.0 kJ/mol and its molar mass is 30.55 g/mol, how many grams of this compound must you burn to release 617.30 kJ of heat?
Answer:
14.297 g
Explanation:
From the question;
1 mo of the compound requires 1320.0 kJ
From the molar mass;
1 ml of the compound weighs 30.55g
How many grams requires 617.30kJ?
1 ml = 1320
x mol = 617.30
x = 617.30 / 1320
x = 0.468 mol
But 1 mol = 30.55
0.468 mol = x

28.What is the correct IUPAC name for the following compound?A)12-crown-5B)12-crown-4C)4-crown-12D)12-crown-12E)Cyclododecane tetraether
Answer:
12-crown-4
Explanation:
We must recall that any structural moiety in organic chemistry having the R-O-R unit is an ether. If the oxygen form a ring in which they are sandwiched in between carbon atoms, the compound is known as a crown ether. The name emanates from the close resemblance of the compound to an actual crown.
If we want to name the crown ether, we first count the number of carbon atoms present and the number of oxygen atoms present. The correct name is now, total number of carbon + oxygen atoms -crown- number of oxygen atoms, in this case; 12-crown-4, hence the answer.
Answer:
12-crown-4

Of the following two gases, which would you predict to diffuse more rapidly? PLZZ HELPP PLZ PLZ PLZ
Answer:
CO2 will diffuse more rapidly.
Explanation:
From Graham's law of diffusion, we understood that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density as shown below:
Rate (R) & 1/√Density (d)
R & 1/√d
But, the density of a gas is directly proportional to the relative molecular mass (M) of the gas.
Thus, we can say that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. This can be represented mathematically as:
Rate (R) & 1/√Molar mass (M)
R & 1/√M
From the above illustration, we can say that the lighter the gas, the faster the rate of diffusion and the heavier the gas, the slower the rate of diffusion.
Now, to answer the question given above,let us determine the molar mass of Cl2 and CO2.
This is illustrated below:
Molar mass of Cl2 = 2 x 35.5 = 71 g/mol
Molar mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 12 + 32 = 44 g/mol
Summary
Gas >>>>>> Molar mass
Cl2 >>>>>> 71 g/mol
CO2 >>>>> 44 g/mol
From the illustration above, we can see that CO2 is lighter than Cl2.
Therefore, CO2 will diffuse more rapidly.

There are approximately 2 × 1022 molecules and atoms in each breath we take and the concentration of CO in the air is approximately 9 ppm. How many CO molecules are in each breath we take? solution
Answer:
1.8x10¹⁷ molecules of CO are in each breath we take
Explanation:
Parts per million, ppm, is an unit of concentration in chemistry used for very diluted solutions.
A 9ppm of X in a solution means in 1 million of molecules (1x10⁶) you have only 9 molecules of X.
In a breath we have 2x10²² molecules and 9 ppm are CO. Thus, CO molecules in each breath are:
2x10²² molecules × (9 molecules CO / 1x10⁶ molecules) =
1.8x10¹⁷ molecules of CO are in each breath we take[tex]1.8\times 10^{17}[/tex] molecules of CO are in each breath we take
The calculation is as follows:A 9ppm of X in a solution represent in 1 million of molecules[tex](1\times10^6)[/tex]you have only 9 molecules of X.
Now CO molecules in each breath is
[tex]= 2\times 10^{22}\ vmolecules \times (9\ molecules\ CO \div 1\times 10^6 molecules) \\\\= 1.8\times 10^{17}[/tex]

A mixture of 50ml of 0.1M HCOOH and 50ml of 0.05M NaOH is equivalent to
Answer:
d) a solution that is 0.025M in HCOOH and 0.025M in HCOONa
Explanation:
The reaction of a weak acid (HOOH) with NaOH is as follows:
HCOOH + NaOH → HCOONa + H₂O
Based on the reaction, 1 mole of the acid reacts with 1 mole of the base (Ratio 1:1).
The initial moles of both species are:
HCOOH: 0.050L × (0.1mol / L) = 0.0050 moles of HCOOH
NaOH: 0.050L × (0.05 mol / L) = 0.0025 moles NaOH
After the reaction, all NaOH reacts with HCOOH producing HCOONa (Because moles of NaOH < moles HCOOH).
Final moles:
HCOOH: 0.0050 moles - 0.0025 moles (After reaction) = 0.0025 moles
HCOONa: Moles HCOONa = Initial Moles NaOH: 0.0025 moles
As volume of the mixture is 100mL (50 from the acid + 50 from NaOH), molarity of both HCOOH and HCOONa is:
0.0025 moles / 0.100L = 0.025M of both HCOOH and HCOONa
Thus, the initial mixture is equivalent to:
d) a solution that is 0.025M in HCOOH and 0.025M in HCOONaWhat volume (in mL) needs to be added to 69.6 mL of 0.0887 M MgF2 solution to make a 0.0224 M MgF2 solution
Answer:
The correct answer is 206 ml.
Explanation:
Based on the given information, the molarity or M₁ of MgF₂ solution is 0.0887 M, the molarity or M₂ of the final solution given is 0.0224 M. The initial volume of V₁ of the solution is 69.6 ml, for finding the final volume of V₂ of the solution, the formula to be used is,
M₁V₁ = M₂V₂
Now putting the values in the formula we get,
0.0887 × 69.6 = 0.0224 M × V₂
V₂ = 0.0887 × 69.6 / 0.0224
V₂ = 275.6 ml
Therefore, the volume in ml added to the initial volume of 69.6 ml to make the molarity of the solution 0.0224 will be,
= 275.6 ml - 69.6 ml = 206 ml

What is ideal gas law ?The equation of state for a fictitious perfect gas is known as the ideal gas law, sometimes known as the generic gas equation. Although it has significant drawbacks, it is a decent approximation of the behavior of many gases under various situations.
An ideal gas is one in which there are no intermolecular attraction forces and all collisions between atoms or molecules are entirely elastic. It may be seen as a group of perfectly hard spheres that collide but do not else interact with one another.
By using ideal gas equation,
P₁ V ₁ ÷ T = P₂V₂ ÷ T
1 × 2.62 ÷ 25 = 2 × V₂ ÷ 50
V₂ = 1 × 2.62 × 50 ÷ 25 × 2
V₂ = 2.62 liters.
Thus, a sample of gas occupies a volume of 2.62 liters at 25° C and 1.00 atm. and the volume at 50° C and 2 atm then volume is 2.62 liters.

Using the data: C2H4(g), = +51.9 kJ mol-1, S° = 219.8 J mol-1 K-1 CO2(g), = ‑394 kJ mol-1, S° = 213.6 J mol-1 K-1 H2O(l), = ‑286.0 kJ mol-1, S° = 69.96 J mol-1 K-1 O2(g), = 0.00 kJ mol-1, S° = 205 J mol-1 K-1 calculate the maximum amount of work that can be obtained, at 25.0 °C, from the process: C2H4(g) + 3 O2(g) → 2 CO2(g) + 2 H2O(l)
Answer:
The correct answer is 1332 KJ.
Explanation:
Based on the given information,
ΔH°f of C2H4 is 51.9 KJ/mol, ΔH°O2 is 0.0 KJ/mol, ΔH°f of CO2 is -394 KJ/mol, and ΔH°f of H2O is -286 KJ/mol.
Now the balanced equation is:
C2H4 (g) + 3O2 (g) ⇔ 2CO2 (g) + 2H2O (l)
ΔH°rxn = 2 × ΔH°f CO2 + 2 × ΔH°fH2O - 1 × ΔH°fC2H4 - 3×ΔH°fO2
ΔH°rxn = 2 (-394) + 2(-286) - 1(51.9) - 3(0)
ΔH°rxn = -1411.9 KJ
Now, the given ΔS°f of C2H4 is 219.8 J/mol.K, ΔS°f of O2 is 205 J/mol.K, ΔS°f of CO2 is 213.6 J/mol.K, and ΔS°f of H2O is 69.96 J/mol.K.
Now based on the balanced chemical reaction,
ΔS°rxn = 2 × ΔS°fCO2 + 2 ΔS°fH2O - 1 × ΔS°f C2H4 - 3 ΔS°fO2
ΔS°rxn = 2 (213.6) + 2(69.96) - 1(219.8) -3(205)
ΔS°rxn = -267.68 J/K or -0.26768 KJ/K
T = 25 °C or 298 K
Now putting the values of ΔH, ΔS and T in the equation ΔG = ΔH-TΔS, we get
ΔG = -1411.9 - 298.0 × (-0.2677)
ΔG = -1332 KJ.
Thus, the maximum work, which can obtained is 1332 kJ.

Both chlorine and fluorine are represented by a green modeling piece that has 4 holes. Is using the same piece for two different atoms acceptable? Why or why not
Answer:
Yes, same piece can be used.
Explanation:
The same piece can be used for two different atoms are acceptable because both atoms has 7 electrons in their outermost valance shell. Both atoms belong to same group i. e. halogens so same piece can be used for both atoms. If the atoms belong to different groups and they have different number of electrons in their outermost shell so using same piece will be a problem so it is recommended to use different pieces for different atoms.
The use of the same modeling piece for chlorine and fluorine has been accepted as it has consisted of the same properties and belongs to the same group.
Chlorine and fluorine have been the elements of group 17. The elements are halogens with the presence of 7 valence electrons.
The elements have been belonging to the same group and have the same number of valence electrons thus resembling each other in the chemical properties.
Since both the elements are similar to each other, the use of the same piece for two different atoms has been acceptable.

For which one of the following reactions will the enthalpy change be approximately equal to the internal energy change?
A. H2 + I2 → 2HI
B. PCl5(g) → PCl3(g) + Cl2
C. 2H2O2 → 2H2O2 + O2
D. C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g)
Answer: A. [tex]H_{2}_{(g)}+I_{2}_{(g)}=>2HI_{(g)}[/tex] and D.[tex]C_{(s)}+O_{2}_{(g)}=>CO_{2}_{(g)}[/tex]
Explanation: The relationship between internal energy change and enthalpy change during a chemical reaction occurs according to the following formula:
[tex]\Delta H=\Delta E+\Delta(PV)[/tex]
So, for changes in enthalpy and internal energy to be equal volume or pressure has to be constant, i.e., zero.
Change in the number of moles of gas during the reaction can make the difference between [tex]\Delta H[/tex] and [tex]\Delta E[/tex] be larger, so for them to be equal and pressure constant, number of moles must be the same in reagents and products.
Analysing each reaction above:
Reaction A has the same number of moles in reagents and products, so enthalpy change and internal energy change will be equal;
Reactions B and C don't have the same number of moles at both sides, so enthalpy and energy will be different.
Reaction D, although reagent side have 2 compounds, carbon is solid, so reaction have the same number of moles in both sides. Enthalpy and Energy will be equal.

Answer:
3.0x10⁻²M
Explanation:
Silver sulfate, Ag₂SO₄, has a product constant solubility equilbrium of:
Ag₂SO₄(s) ⇄ 2Ag⁺ + SO₄²⁻
When an excess of silver sulfate is added, some Ag₂SO₄ will react producing Ag⁺ and SO₄²⁻ until reach the equilbrium determined for the formula:
ksp = 1.4x10⁻⁵ = [Ag⁺]² [SO₄²⁻]
Assuming the Ag₂SO₄ that react until reach equilibrium is X, we can replace in Ksp expression:
1.4x10⁻⁵ = [Ag⁺]² [SO₄²⁻]
1.4x10⁻⁵ = [2X]² [X]
1.4x10⁻⁵ = 4X³
3.5x10⁻⁶ = X³
0.015 = X
As [Ag⁺] is 2X:
[Ag⁺] = 0.030 = 3.0x10⁻²M

Answer:
A nucleus with a A nucleus with a neutron:proton ratio of 1.49
A nucleus with a mass of 187 and an atomic number of 75
Explanation:
The stability of a nucleus depends on the number of neutrons and protons present in the nucleus. For many low atomic number elements, the number of protons and number of neutrons are equal. This implies that the neutron/proton ratio = 1
Elements with higher atomic number tend to be more stable if they have a slight excess of neutrons as this reduces the repulsion between protons.
Generally, the belt of stability for chemical elements lie between and N/P ratio of 1 to an N/P ratio of 1.5.
Two options selected have an N/P ratio of 1.49 hence they are heavy stable elements.
Answer:
-A nucleus with a neutron:proton ratio of 1.49
-The nucleus of Sb-123
-A nucleus with a mass of 187 and an atomic number of 75
