Piperazine, HN(C4H8)NH, is a diprotic weak base used as a corrosion inhibitor and an insecticide and has the following properties: pKb1=4.22pKb2=8.67 For writing the reactions of this base in water, it can be helpful to abbreviate the formula as Pip: Pip+H2OPipH++H2O⇌⇌PipH++OH−PipH22++OH− The piperazine used commercially is a hexahydrate with the formula C4H10N2⋅6H2O.
Show the titration curve by plotting the following points:
• the initial pH of the solution. (pH=11.23)
• the pH at the 25% neutralization point of the first neutralization (pH=10.26)
• the pH at the 50%neutralization point of the first neutralization. (pH=9.78)
• the pH at the 75% neutralization point of the first neutralization. (pH=9.30)
• the pH at the first equivalence point (pH=7.56)
• the pH at the 25% -neutralization point of the second neutralization. (pH=5.81)
• the pH at the 50% -neutralization point of the second neutralization. (pH=5.33)
• the pH at the 75% -neutralization point of the second neutralization. (pH=4.85)
• the pH at the second equivalence point.(pH=3.35)
Be sure to plot all nine points. (Find the HCl volumes of the pH's in mL. Also plot points on graph.)

The atmosphere slowly oxidizes hydrocarbons in a number of steps that eventually convert the hydrocarbon into carbon dioxide and water. The overall reactions of a number of such steps for methane gas is as follows: CH4(g)+5O2(g)+5NO(g)→CO2(g)+H2O(g)+5NO2(g)+2OH(g) Suppose that an atmospheric chemist combines 145 mL of methane at STP, 885 mL of oxygen at STP, and 55.0 mL of NO at STP in a 2.0 −L flask. The reaction is allowed to stand for several weeks at 275 K.
If the reaction reaches 92.0% of completion (92.0% of the limiting reactant is consumed), what are the partial pressures of each of the reactants in the flask at 275 K?
