Chapter 19, Problem 19.62E
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The diffusion constant for He is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The diffusion of any gas particle among its own gas particles is known as self-diffusion. The diffusion constant is directly proportional to the product of mean free path and average velocity. The self-diffusion of a particle is given as,

D=38d2ρRTπM

Where,

D is the self-diffusion constant.

M is the molar mass.

d is the diameter of given particles.

ρ is the particle density.

R is the gas constant.

T is the temperature.

Answer to Problem 19.62E

The diffusion constant of helium is 0.844cm2s1.

Explanation of Solution

It is given that the helium is at 1.00atm, that is, standard pressure and 273K. The molar mass of helium is 4.00g/mol and the diameter of helium molecules is 2.65A.

The diffusion constant can be calculated by the formula,

D=38d2ρRTπM

Where,

D is the self-diffusion constant.

M is the molar mass.

d is the diameter of given particles.

ρ is the particle density.

R is the gas constant and its value is 8.314Jmol1K1 or 8.314kgm2s2mol1K1.

T is the temperature.

The diffusion constant can be represented in the terms of pressure as,

D=3kT8d2pRTπM

Substitute the values of molar mass, diameter, pressure, gas constant and temperature.

D=3×1.381×1023m2kgs2K1×273K8(2.65A)2×1.00atm8.314m2kgs2K1mol1×273Kπ×4.00×103kgmol1

The unit of pressure is converted from atm to Pa. The conversion factor is 1atm=101325Pa.

The conversion factor of Pa is,

1Pa=1N/m21N=kgms2

Substitute the units of pressure and solve the square root as shown below.

D=3×1.381×1023m2kgs2K1×273K8(2.65×1010m)2×101325kgm1s2×424.993ms1D=8.444×105m2s1

The units of diffusion constant are usually expressed in cm. The conversion factor is 1cm=102m. The diffusion constant of helium is 0.844cm2s1.

Conclusion

The diffusion constant of helium is 0.844cm2s1.

A small artisanal cheesemaker is testing the acidity of their milk before it coagulates. During fermentation, bacteria produce lactic acid (K₁ = 1.4 x 104), a weak acid that helps to curdle the milk and develop flavor. The cheesemaker has measured that the developing mixture contains lactic acid at an initial concentration of 0.025 M. Your task is to calculate the pH of this mixture and determine whether it meets the required acidity for proper cheese development. To achieve the best flavor, texture and reduce/control microbial growth, the pH range needs to be between pH 4.6 and 5.0. Assumptions: Lactic acid is a monoprotic acid H H :0:0: H-C-C H :0: O-H Figure 1: Lewis Structure for Lactic Acid For simplicity, you can use the generic formula HA to represent the acid You can assume lactic acid dissociation is in water as milk is mostly water. Temperature is 25°C 1. Write the K, expression for the dissociation of lactic acid in the space provided. Do not forget to include state symbols.…
