Calculate the pH of a solution created by placing 2.0 grams of yttrium hydroxide, Y(OH)3, in 2.0 L of H2O. Ksp for Y(OH)3 is 6.0

oee [108]

Answer:

pH = 8.314

Explanation:

Y(OH)3(s) ↔ Y+ + 3OH-

equil: S S 3S

∴ Ksp = [ Y+ ] * [ OH- ]³ = 6.0 E-24

⇒ 6.0 E-24 = ( S )*( 3S )³

⇒ 6.0 E-24 = 27S∧4

⇒ 2.22 E-25 = S∧4

⇒ ( 2.22 E-25 )∧(1/4) = S

⇒ S = 6.866 E-7 M

⇒ [ OH- ] = 3*S =2.06 E-6 M

⇒ pOH = - Log [ OH- ]

⇒ pOH = - Log ( 2.06 E-6 )

⇒ pOH = 5.686

∴ pH = 14 - pOH

⇒ pH = 8.314

____ 26. what is the weight percentage of nitrogen in urea, cn2h4o

Paraphin [41]

Weight percentage of nitrogen can be calculated using the following rule:
weight percentage of nitrogen = (weight of nitrogen / weight of urea) x 100

From the periodic table:
molecular mass of carbon = 12 grams
molecular mass of nitrogen = 14 grams
molecular mass of hydrogen = 1 grams
molecular mass of oxygen = 16 grams

therefore:
mass of nitrogen in urea = 2(14) = 28 grams
mass of urea = 12 + 2(14) + 4(1) + 16 = 60 grams

Substitute with the masses in the equation to get the percentage:
weight percentage of nitrogen = (28/60) x 100 = 46.667%

Methyl salicylate is a common active ingredient in liniments such as ben-gay. It is also known as oil of wintergreen. It is made

arlik [135]

Answer: The empirical formula is $C_3H_3O$ .

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2$ = 12.24 g

Mass of $H_2O$ = 2.505 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 12.24 g of carbon dioxide, = $\frac{12}{44}\times 12.24=3.338g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 2.505 g of water, = $\frac{2}{18}\times 2.505=0.278g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (5.287) - (3.338+0.278) = 1.671 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = $\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{3.338g}{12g/mole}=0.278moles$

Moles of H= $\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{0.278g}{1g/mole}=0.278moles$

Moles of O= $\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{1.671g}{16g/mole}=0.104moles$

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = $\frac{0.278}{0.104}=3$

For H = $\frac{0.278}{0.104}=3$

For O = $\frac{0.104}{0.104}=1$

The ratio of C : H : O = 3: 3: 1

Hence the empirical formula is $C_3H_3O$ .
