a. 2..86 b. 4.86 c. 10.7 d. 8.7

Explanation:

a. Determine a pH at which 50% of ClCH2COOH will be in a form that possesses a charge.

Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,

pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]

where [A⁻] = concentration of conjugate base (or charged form) and [HA] = concentration of acid.

At 50% concentration, [A⁻] = [HA] ⇒ [A⁻]/[HA] = 1

So, pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]

pH = pKa + log1

pH = pKa = 2.86

b. Determine a pH at which pH more than 99% of ClCH2COOH will be in a form that possesses a charge.

Let x be the concentration of the acid. Since 99% of it should possess a charge, the basic concentration is 0.99x while the acidic concentration is remaining 1 % (1 - 0.99)x = 0.01x

Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,

pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA] where [A⁻] = concentration of conjugate base (or charged form) = 0.99x and [HA] = concentration of acid = 0.01x.

pH = pKa + log0.99x/0.01x

pH = pKa + log0.99/0.01

pH = 2.86 + log99

pH = 2.86 + 1.996

pH = 4.856

pH ≅ 4.86

c. Determine a pH at which 50% of CH3CH2NH+3 will be in a form that possesses a charge.

Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,

pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]

where [A⁻] = concentration of conjugate base and [HA] = concentration of acid.

At 50% concentration, [A⁻] = [HA] ⇒ [A⁻]/[HA] = 1

So, pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]

pH = pKa + log1

pH = pKa = 10.7

d. Determine a pH at which pH more than 99% of CH3CH2NH+3 will be in a form that possesses a charge.

Let x be the concentration of the acid. Since 99% of it should possess a charge, the basic concentration is 0.01x while the acidic concentration is remaining 99 % (1 - 0.01)x = 0.99x (which possesses the charge).

Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,

pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA] where [A⁻] = concentration of conjugate base = 0.01x and [HA] = concentration of acid = 0.99x.

pH = pKa + log0.01x/0.99x

pH = pKa + log1/99

pH = 10.7 - log99

pH = 10.7 - 1.996

pH = 8.704

pH ≅ 8.7

Since the gas in your graduated cylinder is a mixture of butane and water vapor, you must determine the partial pressure of the butane, pbutane, alone. to do this, consult a reference and record the partial pressure of the water vapor, pwater, at the temperature you recorded. use the following formula to compute the partial pressure of the butane. pbutane = atmosphere - pwater use the following combined gas law formula and compute the volume that the butane sample will occupy at stp. (hint: convert both temperatures to kelvin.) pbutane x voriginal = pstandard x vfinal troom tstandard use the following ratio and proportion formula to determine the mass of butane needed to occupy a volume of 22.4 l at stp. grams of butane you used “x” grams of butane ml of butane corrected to stp = 22,400 ml compute the theoretical molar mass of butane based on its formula and the atomic masses on the periodic table. compare your experimental results from #3 to the theoretical value of #4, computing a percent error of your findings using this formula: % error = measured value - accepted value x 100 accepted value use the following ratio and proportion formula to determine the mass of butane needed to occupy a volume of 22.4 l at stp. need asap
