The mass percent lithium hydroxide in the mixture with potassium hydroxide, calculated from the equivalence point in the titration of HCl with the mixture, is 19.0%.  

The mass percent of lithium hydroxide can be calculated with the following equation:  

\% = \frac{m_{LiOH}}{m_{t}} \times 100    (1)

Where:

m_{t} = m_{KOH} + m_{LiOH} = 0.4322 g   (2)  

We need to find the mass of LiOH.

From the titration, we can find the number of moles of the mixture since the number of moles of the acid is equal to the number of moles of the bases at the equivalence point.    

\eta_{HCl} = \eta_{LiOH} + \eta_{KOH}

0.0271 L*0.3565 \frac{mol}{L} = \eta_{LiOH} + \eta_{KOH}

\eta_{LiOH} + \eta_{KOH} = 9.66 \cdot 10^{-3} \:mol

Since mol = m/M, where M: is the molar mass and m is the mass, we have:

\frac{m_{LiOH}}{M_{LiOH}} + \frac{m_{KOH}}{M_{KOH}} = 9.66 \cdot 10^{-3} \:mol    (3)                                        

Solving equation (2) for m_{KOH} and entering into equation (3), we can find the mass of LiOH:  

\frac{m_{LiOH}}{M_{LiOH}} + \frac{0.4322 - m_{LiOH}}{M_{KOH}} = 9.66 \cdot 10^{-3} \:mol    

\frac{m_{LiOH}}{23.95 g/mol} + \frac{0.4322 g - m_{LiOH}}{56.1056 g/mol} = 9.66 \cdot 10^{-3} \:mol              

Solving for m_{LiOH}, we have:

m_{LiOH} = 0.082 g

Hence, the percent lithium hydroxide is (eq 1):

\% = \frac{0.082 g}{0.4322 g} \times 100 = 19.0 \%  

Therefore, the mass percent lithium hydroxide in the mixture is 19.0%.

Describe the structure of our galaxy, including its spiral arms.
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Most spiral galaxies consist of a flat, rotating disk containing stars, gas and dust, and a central concentration of stars known as the bulge. ... The spiral arms are sites of ongoing star formation and are brighter than the surrounding disc because of the young, hot OB stars that inhabit them.
