Describe how you would prepare exactly 100 mL of 0.109 M picolinate buffer, pH 5.61. Possible starting materials are pure picoli

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

1.342g of picolinic acid and 6.743mL of 1.0M NaOH diluting the mixture to 100.0mL

Explanation:

<em>The pKa of the picolinic acid is 5.4.</em>

Using Henderson-Hasselbalch formula for picolinic-picolinate buffer:

pH = pKa + log [Picolinate] / [Picolinic]

<em>Where [] could be taken as moles of each species</em>

<em />

5.61 = 5.4 + log [Picolinate] / [Picolinic]

0.21 = log [Picolinate] / [Picolinic]

1.62181 = [Picolinate] / [Picolinic] <em>(1)</em>

<em></em>

Now, both picolinate and picolinic acid will be:

0.100L * (0.109mol / L) =

0.0109 moles = [Picolinate] + [Picolinic] <em>(2)</em>

<em></em>

First, as we will start with picolinic acid, we need add:

0.0109 moles picolinic acid * (123.10g/mol) = 1.342g of picolinic acid

Now, replacing (2) in (1):

1.62181 = 0.0109 moles - [Picolinic] / [Picolinic]

1.62181 [Picolinic] = 0.0109 moles - [Picolinic]

2.62181 [Picolinic] = 0.0109 moles

[Picolinic] = 4.157x10⁻³ moles

And:

[Picolinate] = 0.0109 - 4.157x10⁻³ moles =

<h3>6.743x10⁻³ moles</h3><h3 />

To obtain these moles of picolinate ion we need to make the reaction of the picolinic acid with NaOH:

Picolinic acid + NaOH → Picolinate + Water

<em>That means to obtain 6.743x10⁻³ moles of picolinate ion we need to add 6.743x10⁻³ moles of NaOH</em>

<em />

6.743x10⁻³ moles of NaOH that is 1.0M are, in mL:

6.743x10⁻³ moles * (1L / 1mol) = 6.743x10⁻³L * 1000 =

<h3>6.743mL of the 1.0M NaOH must be added</h3><h3 />

Thus, we obtain the desire moles of picolinate and picolinic acid to obtain the buffer we want, the last step is:

<h3>Dilute the mixture to 100mL, the volume we need to prepare</h3>

How many hydrogen bonds can CH2O make to water

VladimirAG [237]

Hydrogen bonds are not like covalent bonds. They are nowhere near as strong and you can't think of them in terms of a definite number like a valence. Polar molecules interact with each other and hydrogen bonds are an example of this where the interaction is especially strong. In your example you could represent it like this:

<span>H2C=O---------H-OH </span>

<span>But you should remember that the H2O molecule will be exchanging constantly with others in the solvation shell of the formaldehyde molecule and these in turn will be exchanging with other H2O molecules in the bulk solution. </span>

<span>Formaldehyde in aqueous solution is in equilibrium with its hydrate. </span>

<span>H2C=O + H2O <-----------------> H2C(OH)2</span>

Write the equations that represent the first and second ionization steps for hydroselenic acid (H2Se) in water. (Use H3O+ instea

Otrada [13]

Answer:

The equations are

1) $H_{2}Se+H_{2}O--> H_{3}O^{+}+HSe^{-}$

2) $HSe^{-} +H_{2}O--> H_{3}O^{+}+Se^{-2}$

Explanation:

There are two ionization steps in the dissociation of hydroselenic acid.

In first dissociation the H₂Se loses one proton and forms hydrogen selenide ion as shown below:

$H_{2}Se+H_{2}O--> H_{3}O^{+}+HSe^{-}$

The next step is again removal of a proton from the base formed above.

$HSe^{-} +H_{2}O--> H_{3}O^{+}+Se^{-2}$

trans-2-Butene does not exhibit a signal in the double-bond region of the spectrum (1600–1850 cm-1); however, IR spectroscopy is

spayn [35]

Answer:

The other signal that would indicate the presence of a C= C bond appears close to 3100 $cm^{-1}$ .

Explanation:

Bands that appear above 3000 $cm^{-1}$ are often unsaturation diagnoses suggest. The band at 3000- 3100 $cm^{-1}$ is characteristics for C-H stretching frequencies and normally is overlaps with the ones for alkanes because it is a band of weak intensity.

Olympic cyclist fill their tires with helium to make them lighter. Calculate the mass of air in an air filled tire and the mass

inn [45]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass difference between the two is 7.38 grams.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation given by ideal gas follows:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure = 125 psi = 8.50 atm (Conversion factor: 1 atm = 14.7 psi)

V = Volume = 855 mL = 0.855 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

T = Temperature = $25^oC=[25+273]K=298K$

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L. atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

n = number of moles = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$8.50atm\times 0.855L=n\times 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\n=\frac{8.50\times 0.855}{0.0821\times 298}=0.297mol$

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

<u>For air:</u>

Moles of air = 0.297 moles

Average molar mass of air = 28.8 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.297mol=\frac{\text{Mass of air}}{28.8g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of air}=(0.297mol\times 28.8g/mol)=8.56g$

Mass of air, $m_1$ = 8.56 g

<u>For helium gas:</u>

Moles of helium = 0.297 moles

Molar mass of helium = 4 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.297mol=\frac{\text{Mass of helium}}{4g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of helium}=(0.297mol\times 4g/mol)=1.18g$

Mass of helium, $m_2$ = 1.18 g

Calculating the mass difference between the two:

$\Delta m=m_1-m_2$

$\Delta m=(8.56-1.18)g=7.38g$

Hence, the mass difference between the two is 7.38 grams.
