Sulfurous acid is a diprotic acid with the following acid-ionization constants: Ka1 = 1.4x10−2, Ka2 = 6.5x10−8 If you have a 1.0 L buffer containing 0.252 M NaHSO3 and 0.139 M Na2SO3, what is the pH of the solution after addition of 50.0 mL of 1.00 M NaOH? Enter your answer numerically to 4 decimal places.

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

pH = 7.1581

Explanation:

The equilibrium of NaHSO₃ with Na₂SO₃ is:

HSO₃⁻ ⇄ SO₃²⁻ + H⁺

Where K of equilibrium is the Ka2: 6.5x10⁻⁸

HSO₃⁺ reacts with NaOH, thus:

HSO₃⁻ + NaOH → SO₃²⁻ + H₂O + Na⁺

As the buffer is of 1.0L, initial moles of HSO₃⁻ and SO₃²⁻ are:

HSO₃⁻: 0.252 moles

SO₃²⁻: 0.139 moles

Based on the reaction of NaOH, moles added of NaOH are subtracting moles of HSO₃⁻ and producing SO₃²⁻. The moles added are:

0.0500L ₓ (1mol /L): 0.050 moles of NaOH.

Thus, final moles of both compounds are:

HSO₃⁻: 0.252 moles - 0.050 moles = 0.202 moles

SO₃²⁻: 0.139 moles + 0.050 moles = 0.189 moles

Using H-H equation for the HSO₃⁻ // SO₃²⁻ buffer:

pH = pka + log [SO₃²⁻] / [HSO₃⁻]

Where pKa is - log Ka = 7.187

Replacing:

pH = 7.187 + log [0.189] / [0.202]

pH = 7.1581

What is the poH of a 3.67 x 10-5 M OH solution and is it acidic, basic, or neutral?

Answers

Answer:

The pOH is  4, 44 and the solution is basic.

Explanation:

The pOH is a measure of the concentration of OH (hydroxyl) ions in the solution.

The pOH is calculated as :

pOH = -log (OH-)= -log (3.67 x 10-5 )= 4, 44. In this case, the solution is basic.

The p0H scale ranges from values of 0 to 14 (less than 7.0 is basic and greater than 7.0 is acidic, a pH = 7.0 is neutral)

The flask contains 10.0 mL of HCl and a few drops of phenolphthalein indicator. The buret contains 0.160 M NaOH . It requires 11.9 mL of the NaOH solution to reach the end point of the titration. A buret filled with a titrant is held above a graduated cylinder containing an analyte solution. What is the initial concentration of HCl

Answers

Answer:

0.190 M

Explanation:

Let's consider the neutralization reaction between HCl and NaOH.

HCl + NaOH = NaCl + H2O

11.9 mL of 0.160 M NaOH were used. The reacting moles of NaOH were:

0.0119 L × 0.160 mol/L = 1.90 × 10⁻³ mol

The molar ratio of HCl to NaOH is 1:1. The reacting moles of HCl are 1.90 × 10⁻³ moles.

1.90 × 10⁻³ moles of HCl are in 10.0 mL of solution. The molarity of HCl is:

M = 1.90 × 10⁻³ mol / 10.0 × 10⁻³ L = 0.190 M

Answer:

The initial concentration of HCl was 0.1904 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of HCl solution = 10.0 mL = 0.010 L

Volume of a NaOH solution = 11.9 mL = 0.0119 L

Molarity of NaOH solution = 0.160 M

Step 2: The balanced equation

HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of HCl

C1*V1 = C2*V2

⇒with C1 = the concentration HCl = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with V1 = the volume of HCl = 0.010 L

⇒with C2 = the concentration of NaOH = 0.160 M

⇒with V2 = the volume of NaOH = 0.0119 L

C1 * 0.010 L = 0.160 M * 0.0119 L

C1 = (0.160 M * 0.0119 L) / 0.010 L

C1 = 0.1904 M

The initial concentration of HCl was 0.1904 M

Electron cloud is an informal term in physics. It is used to describe where electrons are when they go around the nucleus of an atom. The electron cloud model is different from the older Bohr atomic model by Niels Bohr. Bohr talked about electrons orbiting the nucleus.
