You prepare a buffer solution from 10.0 mL of 0.100 M MOPS (3-morpholinopropane-1-sulfonic acid) and 10.0 mL of 0.079 M NaOH. Next, you add 1.00 mL of 5.67 × 10^-5 M lidocaine to this mixture. Denoting lidocaine as L, calculate the fraction of lidocaine present in the form LH+.

MOPS Ka = 6.3 × 10^–8.

Lidocaine Kb = 8.7 × 10^–7

(Hint: First calculate the pH of the solution from the amount of MOPS added. Start by finding the number of moles (or millimoles) of HA and OH–. Which reactant is limiting? Next, find the amount of A– that forms and the amount of HA left over. Finally, determine the [A–]/[HA] ratio and use the Henderson-Haselbalch equation to find pH. The concentration of lidocaine is too low to affect this pH value. Calculate the pKa of lidocaine and then the fraction in the protonated form from the pH and the pKa using the Henderson Hasselbalch equation.)

Heat Capacity

Learning Goal:

To understand the concepts of heat capacity, specific heat, and molar heat capacity.

Heat capacity, C, is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by exactly 1 degree Celsius. The energy needed to warm an object increases as the mass of that object increases. We see this in our everyday life. For example, we know that it takes much more energy to heat a large tank of water than a small cup. Because of this dependence on mass, experimentally determined heat capacities are always reported in terms of the amount of the substance that is heated. One method is to report how much energy it takes to raise the temperature of one mole of a substance by exactly 1 degree Celsius. This value is the molar heat capacity, which has the symbol Cp.The molar heat capacity is given in the units J/(mol⋅∘C). A second method is to report how much energy it takes to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by exactly 1 degree Celsius. This value is the specific heat, which has been given the symbol Cs. The units for specific heat are J/(g⋅∘C).

The heat capacity of a substance is therefore related to the energy q needed to raise its temperature by an amount ΔT. That is, q=nCT, where n denotes the number of moles of the substance, or q=mCT, where m denotes the number of grams of the substance.

1) Based on the amounts of copper metal and nitric acid you used in the 1st reaction, calculate the number of moles of HNO3 there are in excess. Concentrated nitric acid has a concentration of 15.8 M.

2. Using the moles of HNO3 you calculated and the moles of Cu(NO3)2 produced from the 1st reaction, calculate the total mass of sodium carbonate needed for the second and third reactions. Did you add enough sodium carbonate in the experiment?

3. What observation suggests that copper was added in excess during the last reaction?

4) Why might a student obtain a percent yield less than 100% for this preparation?

5) Copper metal reacts with dilute nitric acid by the following reaction.

3Cu(s)+ 8HNO3(aq) ->3Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NO(g) + 4H2O(l)

If this reaction took place rather than the 1st reaction, would your yield of CuCl be affected assuming you started with the same amount of copper metal? Explain your answer.

6) Could we use HCl to dissolve the copper metal instead of nitric acid in the first reaction? Explain your answer.

7) Given the following three sequential reactions:

Suppose a 3.00 L nickel reaction container filled with 0.0072 M H2 is connected to a 3.00 L container filled with 0.247 M F2. Calculate the molar concentration of H2 at equilibrium.

-Hint, find the equilibrium concentration of HF and F2 (as in the above problem), then use the equilibrium expression to find the hydrogen concentration.

-When you do the limiting reactant calculation you essentially use up all the limiting reactant. So, hydrogen concentration is approximately zero. But, it can't be identically equal to zero or the Keq expression can not be correct. You will find how small it really is.
