A 600.0 mL sample of 0.20 MHF is titrated with 0.10 MNaOH. Determine the pH of the solution after the addition of 600.0 mL of Na

Leona [35]

Answer: pH=12.69

Explanation:

${\text{Moles of HF}=Molarity\times {\text{Volume of solution in liters}}$

${\text{Moles of HF}=0.20M\times 0.6L=0.12 moles$

$HF\rightarrow H^++F^-$

Initial 0.12 0 0

Eqm 0.12-x x x

$K_a=\frac{[H^+][F^-]}{[HF]}$

$3.5\times 10^{-4}=\frac{x^2}{0.12-x}$

(neglecting small value of x in comparison to 0.12)

$x=4.2\times 10^{-5}$

Moles of $H^+=4.2\times 10^{-5}$

$NaOH\rightarrow Na^++OH^-$

${\text{Molesof NaOH}}=Molarity\times {\text{Volume of solution in liters}}$

${\text{Moles of NaOH}}=0.10M\times 0.6L=0.06 moles$

0.06 moles of NaOH will give 0.06 moles of $[OH^-]$

Now $4.2\times 10^{-5}$ moles of $OH^-$ will be neutralized by $4.2\times 10^{-5}$ moles of $H^+$ and $(0.06-4.2\times 10^{-5})=0.059$ moles of $OH^-$ will be left.

Molarity of $OH^-=\frac{0.059moles}{1.2L}=0.049M$

$pOH=-\log[OH^-]=-\log[0.049]=1.31$

pH = 14 - pOH= 14 - 1.31 = 12.69

Luden [163]

<u>Answer:</u> The empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $CH_3O$ and $C_4H_{12}O_4$

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=9.06g$

Mass of $H_2O=5.58g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

<u>For calculating the mass of carbon:</u>

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 9.06 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 9.06=2.47g$ of carbon will be contained.

<u>For calculating the mass of hydrogen:</u>

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 5.58 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 5.58=0.62g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (6.38) - (2.47 + 0.62) = 3.29 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

<u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{2.47g}{12g/mole}=0.206moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.62g}{1g/mole}=0.62moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{3.29g}{16g/mole}=0.206moles$

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.206 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.206}{0.206}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.62}{0.206}=3$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.206}{0.206}=1$

<u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 1 : 3 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_1H_{3}O_1=CH_3O$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

$n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 124 amu = 124 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 31 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{124g/mol}{31g/mol}=4$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(1\times 4)}H_{(3\times 4)}O_{(1\times 4)}=C_4H_{12}O_4$

Thus, the empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $CH_3O$ and $C_4H_{12}O_4$

How many possible stereoisomers are there of propylene glycol, an organic compound found in clearasil acne cream, caladryl, colg

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

2

Explanation:

Isomers are molecules with the same molecular formula, but with some difference. If that difference is in the manner the atoms are distributed in the molecule, they are called structural isomers; if the difference is the way the molecule is in space, they're called space isomers (cis/trans); and there are the stereoisomers, which the molecules are images that can be overlapping.

The stereoisomers have the property to deviate the polarized light, and, when a molecule has a chiral carbon, it means that it has stereoisomers. The number of stereoisomers is 2ⁿ, where n is the number of chiral carbons.

Chiral carbon is a carbon that bonds with four different structures. So, below is represented the molecule of propylene glycol, and it has only one chiral carbon (see the blue arrow), so, it has only 2 stereoisomers.
