Through the complete electrolysis of a sample of pure water, a student collects 14.0 grams of hydrogen gas and 112.0 grams of ox

ygen gas. What mass of water (in grams), if it reacted completely, was initially present? (The electrolysis of water is the use of an electric current to decompose it into its component elements.) Report your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer:

126.0g of water were initially present

Explanation:

The electrolysis of water occurs as follows:

2H₂O(l) ⇄ 2H₂(g) + O₂(g)

<em>Where 2 moles of water produce 2 moles of hydrogen and 1 mole of oxygen.</em>

<em />

To find the mass of water we need to determine moles of oxygen and hydrogen, thus:

<em>Moles Hydrogen:</em>

14.0g H₂ ₓ (1mol / 2g H₂) = 7 moles H₂

<em>Moles Oxygen:</em>

112.0g O₂ ₓ (1mol / 32g) = 3.5 moles O₂

Based on the chemical equation, the moles of water initially present were 7 moles (That produce 7 moles H₂ and 3.5 moles O₂). The mass of 7 moles of H₂O is:

7 moles H₂O * (18g / mol) =

<h3>126.0g of water were initially present</h3>

White vinegar is a 5.0% by mass solution of acetic acid in water. If the density of white
Alex_Xolod [135]

The pH = 2.41

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

5.0% by mass solution of acetic acid

the density of white  vinegar is 1.007 g/cm3

Required

pH

Solution

Molarity of solution :

\tt M=\dfrac{\%mass\times \rho\times 10}{MW~acetic~acid}\\\\M=\dfrac{5\times 1.007\times 10}{60}\\\\M=0.839

Ka for acetic acid = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵

[H⁺] for weak acid :

\tt [H^+]=\sqrt{Ka.M}

Input the value :

\tt [H^+]=\sqrt{1.8\times 10^{-5}\times 0.839}\\\\(H^+]=0.00388=3.88\times 10^{-3}\\\\pH=3-log~3.88=2.41
