 The ore contains 55.4% calcium phosphate (related to the mineral apatite) so the amount of Ca3(PO4)2 is 55.4%x=1000g so x=1000/0.554= 1.805kg. Now for the % of P in this amount of calcium phosphate, use all the masses of the elements in Ca3PO4= Ca=40.078 x 3= 120.23 and (PO4)2= (30.974+64)2=189.95  (NB oxygen is 16 mass x 4 =64) so the total mass is 310.2 and we have 61.95 of P (Pmass x 2) so 61.95/3102.= 0.19 or 19% P. So of the 1.805 x 0.19= 0.34kg of phosphorus.

A 15.0 mL sample of 0.013 M HNO3 is titrated with 0.017 M CH$NH2 which he Kb=3.9 X 10-10. Determine the pH at these points: At t
kramer

<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the solution in the beginning is 1.89 and the pH of the solution after the addition of base is

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For 1:</u> At the beginning

To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:

pH=-\log[H^+]

We are given:

Nitric acid is a monoprotic acid and it dissociates 1 mole of hydrogen ions. So, the concentration of hydrogen ions is 0.013 M

[H^+]=0.013M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

pH=-\log(0.013)\\\\pH=1.89

  • <u>For 2:</u>

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

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}

  • <u>For nitric acid:</u>

Molarity of nitric acid solution = 0.013 M

Volume of solution = 15 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.013M=\frac{\text{Moles of }HNO_3\times 1000}{15}\\\\\text{Moles of }HNO_3=1.95\times 10^{-4}mol

  • <u>For methylamine:</u>

Molarity of methylamine solution = 0.017 M

Volume of solution = 10 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.017M=\frac{\text{Moles of }CH_3NH_2\times 1000}{10}\\\\\text{Moles of }CH_3NH_2=1.7\times 10^{-4}mol

  • The chemical equation for the reaction of nitric acid and methylamine follows:

                       HNO_3+CH_3NH_2\rightarrow CH_3NH_3^++NO_3^-

As, the mole ratio of nitric acid and methyl amine is 1 : 1. So, the limiting reagent will be the reactant whose number of moles are less, which is methyl amine.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of methyl amine produces 1 mole of CH_3NH_3^+

So, 1.7\times 10^{-4}mol of methyl amine will produce = \frac{1}{1}\times 1.7\times 10^{-4}=1.7\times 10^{-4}\text{ moles of }CH_3NH_3^+

To calculate the pK_b of base, we use the equation:

pK_b=-\log(K_b)

where,

K_b = base dissociation constant = 3.9\times 10^{-10}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

pK_b=-\log(3.9\time 10^{-10})\\\\pK_b=9.41

  • To calculate the pOH of basic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

pOH=pK_b+\log(\frac{[salt]}{[base]})

pOH=pK_b+\log(\frac{[CH_3NH_3^+]}{[CH_3NH_2]})

We are given:

pK_b=9.41

[CH_3NH_3^+]=\frac{1.7\times 10^{-4}}{10+15}=6.8\times 10^{-6}M

[CH_3NH_2]=\frac{1.7\times 10^{-4}}{10+15}=6.8\times 10^{-6}M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

pOH=9.41+\log(\frac{6.8\times 10^{-6}}{6.8\times 10^{-6}})\\\\pOH=9.41

To calculate pH of the solution, we use the equation:

pH+pOH=14\\pH=14-9.41=4.59

Hence, the pH of the solution is 4.59

Calculate the amount, in moles, of PO43- present at equilibrium when excess Sr3(PO4)2 is added to 750. mL 1.2 M Sr(NO3)2(aq). As
Crank

Answer:

1.8 × 10⁻¹⁶ mol  

Explanation:

(a) Calculate the solubility of the Sr₃(PO₄)₂

Let s = the solubility of Sr₃(PO₄)₂.

The equation for the equilibrium is

Sr₃(PO₄)₂(s) ⇌ 3Sr²⁺(aq) + 2PO₄³⁻(aq); Ksp = 1.0 × 10⁻³¹

                         1.2 + 3s          2s

K_{sp} =\text{[Sr$^{2+}$]$^{3}$[PO$_{4}^{3-}$]$^{2}$} = (1.2 + 3s)^{3}\times (2s)^{2} =  1.0 \times 10^{-31}\\\text{Assume } 3s \ll 1.2\\1.2^{3} \times 4s^{2} = 1.0 \times 10^{-31}\\6.91s^{2} = 1.0 \times 10^{-31}\\s^{2} = \dfrac{1.0 \times 10^{-31}}{6.91} = 1.45 \times 10^{-32}\\\\s = \sqrt{ 1.45 \times 10^{-32}} = 1.20 \times 10^{-16} \text{ mol/L}\\

(b) Concentration of PO₄³⁻

[PO₄³⁻] = 2s = 2 × 1.20× 10⁻¹⁶ mol·L⁻¹ = 2.41× 10⁻¹⁶ mol·L⁻¹

(c) Moles of PO₄³⁻

Moles = 0.750 L × 2.41 × 10⁻¹⁶ mol·L⁻¹ = 1.8 × 10⁻¹⁶ mol
