Answer:

when silver articles exposed to air silver racts with Sulphur present in the atmosphere and form a black layer of silver sulphide on the surface. copper articles get tarnished by reacting with air and water. due to this, a layer is formed over copper vessels.

Explanation: When silver is exposed to sulfur-containing gases in the air, it discolours and then darkens as it reacts with the gas to form a surface layer of tarnish If a silver object is to be kept from tarnishing, it must be protected from sulfur-containing gases.

A 50.0 mL solution of 0.141 M KOH is titrated with 0.282 M HCl . Calculate the pH of the solution after the addition of each of

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

pH =1 2.84

Explanation:

First we have to start with the reaction between HCl and KOH:

$HCl~+~KOH->~H_2O~+~KCl$

Now for example, we can use a volume of 10 mL of HCl. So, we can calculate the moles using the molarity equation:

$M=\frac{mol}{L}$

We know that $10mL=0.01L$ and we have the concentration of the HCl $0.282M$ , when we plug the values into the equation we got:

$0.282M=\frac{mol}{0.01L}$

$mol=0.282*0.01$

$mol=0.00282$

We can do the same for the KOH values ( $50mL=0.05L$ and $0.141M$ ).

$0.141M=\frac{mol}{0.05L}$

$mol=0.141*0.05$

$mol=0.00705$

So, we have so far 0.00282 mol of HCl and 0.00705 mol of KOH. If we check the reaction we have a molar ratio 1:1, therefore if we have 0.00282 mol of HCl we will need 0.00282 mol of KOH, so we will have an excess of KOH. This excess can be calculated if we substract the amount of moles:

$0.00705-0.00282=0.00423mol~of~KOH$

Now, if we want to calculate the pH value we will need a concentration, in this case KOH is in excess, so we have to calculate the concentration of KOH. For this, we already have the moles of KOH that remains left, now we need the total volume:

$Total~volume=50mL+10mL=60mL$

$60mL=0.06L$

Now we can calculate the concentration:

$M=\frac{0.00423mol}{0.06L}$

$M=0.0705$

Now, we can calculate the pOH (to calculate the pH), so:

$pOH=-Log(0.0705)$

$pOH=1.15$

Now we can calculate the pH value:

$14=~pH~+~pOH$

$pH=14-1.15=12.84$

The equilibrium concentrations of the reactants and products are [ HA ] = 0.260 M [HA]=0.260 M , [ H + ] = 2.00 × 10 − 4 M [H+]=

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

pKa of the acid HA with given equilibrium concentrations is 6.8

Explanation:

The dissolution reaction is:

HA ⇔ H⁺ + A⁻

So at equilibrium, Ka is calculated as below

Ka = [H⁺] x [A⁻] / [HA] = 2.00 x 10⁻⁴ x 2.00 x 10⁻⁴ / 0.260

= 15.38 x 10⁻⁸

Hence, by definition,

pKa = -log(Ka) = - log(15.38 x 10⁻⁸) = 6.813

Suppose you are working with a NaOH stock solution but you need a solution with a lower concentration for your experiment. Calcu

Monica [59]

Answer: The volume of the 1.224 M NaOH solution needed is 26.16 mL

Explanation:

In order to prepare the dilute NaOH solution, solvent is added to a given amount of the NaOH stock solution up to a final volume of 250.0 mL.

Since only solvent is added, the amount of the solute, NaOH, in the dilute solution is the same as in the volume taken from the stock solution.

Molarity (M) is calculated from the following equation:

M = n ÷ V

where n is the number of moles of the solute in the solution, and V is the volume of the solution.

Accordingly, the number of moles of the solute is given by

n = M x V

Now, let's designate the stock NaOH solution and the dilute solution as (1) and (2), respectively . The number of moles of NaOH in each of these solutions is:

n (1) = M (1) x V (1)

n (2) = M (2) x V (2)

As the amount of NaOH in the dilute solution is the same as in the volume taken from the stock solution,

n (1) = n (2)

and

M (1) x V (1) = M (2) x V (2)

For the stock solution, M (1) = 1.244 M, and V (1) is the volume needed. For the dilute solution, M (2) = 0,1281 M, and V (2) = 250.0 mL.

The volume of the stock solution needed, V (1), is calculated as follows:

V (1) = M (2) x V (2) ÷ M (1)

V (1) = 0.1281 M x 250.0 mL ÷ 1.224 M

V (1) = 26.16 mL

The volume of the 1.224 M NaOH solution needed is 26.16 mL.
