Answer:
41 g
Explanation:
We have a buffer formed by a weak acid (C₆H₅COOH) and its conjugate base (C₆H₅COO⁻ coming from NaC₆H₅COO). We can find the concentration of C₆H₅COO⁻ (and therefore of NaC₆H₅COO) using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation.
pH = pKa + log [C₆H₅COO⁻]/[C₆H₅COOH]
pH - pKa = log [C₆H₅COO⁻] - log [C₆H₅COOH]
log [C₆H₅COO⁻] = pH - pKa + log [C₆H₅COOH]
log [C₆H₅COO⁻] = 3.87 - (-log 6.5 × 10⁻⁵) + log 0.40
[C₆H₅COO⁻] = [NaC₆H₅COO] = 0.19 M
We can find the mass of NaC₆H₅COO using the following expression.
M = mass NaC₆H₅COO / molar mass NaC₆H₅COO × liters of solution
mass NaC₆H₅COO = M × molar mass NaC₆H₅COO × liters of solution
mass NaC₆H₅COO = 0.19 mol/L × 144.1032 g/mol × 1.5 L
mass NaC₆H₅COO = 41 g
A. Mutualism. This is because both the larvae and the flower are benefited. The larvae is fed, and the flower is pollinated.
Hope this helps!
Barium nitrate and methane (CH4) are both soluble. They both will dissolve in water, however, barium nitrate will dissociate becoming barium 2+ ions and nitrate becoming NO3 1- ions. All nitrates are soluble and dissociate. CH4 is a weak base and does dissolves but doesn't dissociate. So in solubility terms.... they are both equally soluble just one happens to dissociate into its cations and anions. Hope this helps!
