12.9 key

Answers:
New Material:

1. Co(OH)3 ßà Co3+ + 3 OH-
Ksp = (3[OH-])3*[Co3+] = 27x4
x = [Co3+] = [OH-]/3
[OH-] = 2.94 x 10-11
pOH = 10.53
This answer doesn’t really make sense because we think this compound should be basic.  Here, the [OH-] increase is so small compared to the autoionization of water that we wouldn’t notice any change in pH.  The autoionization of water is the splitting of water into protons and hydroxide ions, and in a solution of water at 25oC, concentration of protons = concentration of hydroxide ions = 1 x 10-7.  Therefore, total concentration of hydroxide would be 2.94 x 10-11 + 1 x 10-7, which is approximately 1 x 10-7.  That means the pOH = pH = 7.  I wouldn’t expect a question like this, where you have to account for the autoionization of water, to come up on the exam, but I want you to know how to do this sort of calculation.

2.
a.) 0.0 mL

pH = 9.11

b.) 8 mL HCl added.  We must determine the amounts of py and Hpy+ present after the added H+ reacts completely with the py.
Initial mmol py present = 25. * 0.100mmol/mL = 2.50mmol py
mmol H+ added = 8.0mL * 0.100mmol/mL = 0.80mmol H+
Added H+ reacts with py to completion
(fyi)


pH = 5.56


c.) 28.0 mL



pH = 2.24

3. The Ksp for silver sulfate (Ag2SO4) is 1.2 x 10-5. Calculate the solubility of silver sulfate in each of the following.

(a) water



(b) 0.10 M AgNO3


(c) 0.20 M K2SO4

2. a.) sodium acetate b.) sodium dihydrogen phosphate c.) potassium permanganate d.) tetraphosphorus hexoxide e.) sodium bisulfite/sodium hydrogen sulfite f.) LiAlH4 g.) Cu2O h.) K2CO3 i.) BaCl2 j.) N2O4

3. Empirical formula: C3HCl; molecular formula: C12H4Cl4
C: 49.67%, Cl: 48.92%, H: 1.39%
If you had 100 g of sample, you would have 49.67 g C, 48.92 g Cl, and 1.39 g H.  Convert to moles = 4.14 mol C, 1.38 mol Cl, 1.38 mol H.  Divide all numbers by 1.38: 3 mol C, 1 mol Cl, 1 mol H.  Write empirical formula: C3HCl.  Actual molar mass is 289.9 g/mol.  Molar mass of empirical formula is 72.49 g/mol. 289.9/72.49 = ratio of molecular formula to empirical formula = 4.  Therefore we multiply empirical formula by 4 to get moleculr formula.  Molecular formula: C12Cl4H4.

4. 21.99 g water vapor
Combustion of ethanol (balanced reaction):
2 CH3CH2OH + 7 O2 (g) à 4 CO2 (g) + 6 H2O (g)
18.74 g ethanol = 0.4068 mol ethanol.  0.4068 mol ethanol * (6 mol water/2 mol ethanol) = 1.22 mol H2O. 1.22 mol water = 21.99 g water

5. 0.114 M ammonia solution
Since ammonia and HCl react in a 1:1 ratio, the number of moles of HCl is the same as the number of moles of ammonia at the equivalence point.  # of moles is the same as molarity * volume so we can use M1V1 = M2V2.  18.96 mL * 0.150 M = M2 * 25 mL.  M2 = 0.114 M

6. a.) Cr2O72- + 6 Cl- + 14 H+ à 2 Cr3+ + 3 Cl2 + 7 H2O
b.) HXeO4- + 3 Pb + 2 OH- à Xe + 3 HPbO2-
(See book or previous blog post for explanation)

7. 3 x 1013 particles
Use ideal gas law: PV=nRT.  Solve for n.  First convert temperature to units of K and convert pressure to units of atm.  Once you have n, multiply by Avogadro’s number for # of particles.

8. PCl5: 0.023 atm, PCl3: 0.177 atm, Cl2: 0.277 atm
For the reaction PCl5 ßà PCl3 + Cl2, set up an ice diagram to solve for x.  Plug back into expressions for equilibrium pressure to solve for the partial pressures.  Total pressure is the sum of all species’ partial pressures.

9. a.) left b.) right c.) no shift

10. pH = 2.42
Set up ice diagram to solve for [H+] (see book).  Note that I gave the wrong Ka on the sheet I gave you.  The correct Ka is listed below.  Had you used the previous Ka I gave you, your answer would be pH = 1.91.

11. pH = 4.55
Look up Ka of acetic acid (check Wikipedia).  Solve for “diluted” concentrations of acetic acid and acetate using M1V1=M2V2.  Plug those values into the Henderson Hasselbalch equation to solve for pH.

12/1 in-class activity


The pKa of CH3NH3+ is 10.62.  A solution is originally 1.072 M in CH3NH2 (methylamine) and 0.836 M CH3NH3+.

1.) What is the initial pH of the buffer?  Hint: use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.

pH = pKa + log([base]/[acid])                     (Henderson-Hasselbalch equation)
[base] = [CH3NH2] = 1.072 M
[acid] = [CH3NH3+] = 0.836 M
pH = 10.73
                         
2.) 3 mL of 1.5 M HBr is added to a 15 mL solution of the buffer above.  Taking the volume change into consideration, what is the pH of the new solution?  What is the pH of a 15 mL solution of the buffer after 3 mL of pure water is added?

Use M1V1=M2V2 to find the new concentrations of acid and base in solution.
[base] = [CH3NH2] = 0.8933 M
[acid] = [CH3NH3+] = 0.697 M
[HBr] = 0.25 M
Here, we assume that the HBr reacts completely with the base, methylammine.  We therefore subtract 0.25 M from the concentration of the base.  We now get the concentrations:
[base] = [CH3NH2] = 0.6433 M
[acid] = [CH3NH3+] = 0.947 M
We plug these values into the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.
pH = 10.47
pH decreases.  This makes sense.

For the second question, we use M1V1=M2V2 to determine the new concentrations.  We plug these new values into the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation and determine the new pH.  However, since the concentrations of acid and base decrease by the same proportion, the ratio of the two stays the same, and the pH is the same as in problem 1.  pH = 10.73

3.) 5 mL of 1.7 M NaOH is added to 12 mL of the buffer solution.  Taking the volume change into consideration, what is the pOH of the new solution?  What is the pOH of a 12 mL solution of the buffer after 5 mL of pure water is added?

Use M1V1=M2V2 to find the new concentrations of acid and base in solution
[base] = [CH3NH2] = 0.7567 M
[acid] = [CH3NH3+] = 0.590 M
[NaOH] = 0.50 M
Here, we assume that the NaOH reacts completely with the acid, methylammonia.  We therefore subtract 0.50 M from the concentration of the base.  We now get the concentrations:
[base] = [CH3NH2] = 1.257 M
[acid] = [CH3NH3+] = 0.090 M
We plug these values into the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.
pH = 11.76, pOH = 2.24
pH increases.  This makes sense.

For the second question, we use M1V1=M2V2 to determine the new concentrations.  We plug these new values into the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation and determine the new pH.  However, since the concentrations of acid and base decrease by the same proportion, the ratio of the two stays the same, and the pH is the same as in problem 1.  pH = 10.73, pOH = 3.27
