Calculate the pH of a buffer solution made by adding 15.0 g anhydrous sodium acetate (NaC2H3O2) to 100.0 mL of 0.200 M acetic acid. Assume there is no change in volume on adding the salt to the acid. (pKa for acetic acid is 4.74 or Ka is 1.8 x 10-5)3.

Answer:

Answer:

pH of Buffer Solution 5.69

Explanation:

Mole of anhydrous sodium acetate = (Given mass)/(Molecular mass)

                                                           = (15)/(82)

                                                           = 0.18 mole

 100 ml of 0.2 molar acetic acid  means

= M x V

= 0.2 x 100

= 20 mmol

= 0.02 mole

Using Henderson equation to find pH of Buffer solution

pH = pKa + log([Salt])/([Acid])

     = 4.74 + log(0.18)/(0.02)

     = 4.74 + log 9

     = 5.69

So pH of the Buffer solution = 5.69

Answer:

a) ii

b)iii

c)iii

Explanation:

three atoms directly bonded then only it is possible to achieve trigonal planar

trigonal bipyramidal means five atoms should attach to central atom

for octahedral six atoms must directly connected to central atom

. Explain why, in the sample calculations, 0.1 g of the unknown produced a GREATER freezing point depression than~e same mass of naphthalene.

Answers

Answer

Naphthalene is a non electrolyte

If the unknown compound is an electrolyte it gives 2 or more ions in solution

( NaCl >> Na+ + Cl- => 2 ions

Ca(NO3)2 >> Ca2+ + 2 NO3- => 3 ions)

the f.p. lowering is directly proportional to the molal concentration of dissolved ions in the solution )

For naphthalene

delta T = 1.86 x m

for a salt that gives 2 ions

delta T = 1.86 x m x 2

hence the lowering in freezion point of unkown is greater then napthalene

Answers

Answer:

m_(O_2)=61.87gO_2

m_(CO_2)=85.07gCO_2

Explanation:

Hello,

Considering the given reaction's stoichiometry, grams of oxygen result:

m_(O_2)=58.0gC_6H_(12)O_6*(1molC_6H_(12)O_6)/(180gC_6H_(12)O_6)*(6molO_2)/(1molC_6H_(12)O_6)*(32gO_2)/(1molO_2)\nm_(O_2)=61.87gO_2

Moreover, the mass of produced carbon dioxide turns out:

m_(CO_2)=58.0gC_6H_(12)O_6*(1molC_6H_(12)O_6)/(180gC_6H_(12)O_6)*(6molCO_2)/(1molC_6H_(12)O_6)*(44gCO_2)/(1molCO_2)\nm_(O_2)=85.07gCO_2

Best regards.

A buffer solution is composed of 4.00 4.00 mol of acid and 3.25 3.25 mol of the conjugate base. If the p K a pKa of the acid is 4.70 4.70 , what is the pH of the buffer?

Answers

Answer: The pH of the buffer is 4.61

Explanation:

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{conjuagate base}]}{[\text{acid}]})

We are given:

pK_a = negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of weak acid = 4.70

[\text{conjuagate base}]} = moles of conjugate base = 3.25 moles

[\text{acid}]  = Moles of acid = 4.00 moles

pH = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

pH=4.70+\log((3.25)/(4.00))\n\npH=4.61

Hence, the pH of the buffer is 4.61

Excess protons in the blood decrease the amount of HCO − 3 and thus reduce the buffering capacity of blood. A rapid drop in pH could lead to death. Normal values for blood are pH = 7.4 , [ HCO − 3 ] = 24.0 mM , [ CO 2 ] = 1.2 mM . (a) If a patient has a blood pH = 7.03 and [CO2] = 1.2 mM, what is the [HCO3−] in the patient’s blood? The pKa of HCO3−= 6.1.(b) Suggest a possible treatment for metabolic acidosis.


(c) Why might the suggestion for part (b) be of benefit to middle-distance runners?

Answers

Answer:

a) [HCO₃⁻] = 10,2 mM.

b) Sodium bicarbonate.

c) Yes.

Explanation:

a) The equilibrium of this reaction is:

CO₂ + H₂O ⇄ HCO₃⁻ + H⁺

Using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pka + log₁₀  ([HCO_(3)^-])/([CO_2])

Replacing:

7,03 = 6,1 + log₁₀  ([HCO_(3)^-])/([1,2 mM])

Thus, [HCO₃⁻] = 10,2 mM

b) A possible treatment of metabolic acidosis is with sodium bicarbonate. By Le Chateleir's principle the increasing of HCO₃⁻ will shift the equilibrium to the left decreasing thus, H⁺ concentration.

c) The shifting of the equilibrium to the left will increase CO₂ concentration producing in the body the need to increase breathing, increasing, thus, concentration of O₂ improving cardiac function in exercise.
