The interaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid can be represented by the chemical equation,
CaCO3 + 2HCl --> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
Calcium carbonate has a molecular weight of 100 g/mol, while hydrochloric acid's molecular weight is 36.45 g/mol. According to the equation, 100 g of calcium carbonate reacts with 72.9 g of hydrochloric acid.
x = (4 g HCl)(100 g CaCO3 / 72.9 HCl)
x = 5.49 g
Final result: 5.49 g
The mass of KBr required is 16.7 g. This concludes from a volume of 0.400 L and a concentration of 0.350 M. Utilizing the molarity formula, moles are calculated as 0.14, leading to a molecular weight calculation of 119 g/mol, thus resulting in a mass of 16.7 g of KBr.
Answer:NH₃/NH₄Cl
Explanation:
The pH of a buffer can be determined using Henderson-Hasselbalch's equation.
![pH=pKa+log\frac{[base]}{[acid]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpKa%2Blog%5Cfrac%7B%5Bbase%5D%7D%7B%5Bacid%5D%7D)
When the concentration of acid equals that of the base, the pH aligns with the pKa of the buffer. The ideal pH range is pKa ± 1.
Below are the buffers and their corresponding pKa values:
- CH₃COONa/CH3COOH (pKa = 4.74)
Thus, the ideal buffer is NH₃/NH₄Cl.
