Aqueous solution of copper sulphate is acidic . Why?

Chemistry
1 answer:
andreev551 [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Aqueous solution of copper sulphate

​is acidic in nature, as when copper sulphate on dissolving with water, following chemical reaction takes place :

CuSO4 + 2 H2O ====> Cu(OH)2 + H2 SO4

​As we can see, copper hydroxide and sulphuric acid is generated in this chemical reaction.Copper hydroxide is a weak base whereas sulphuric acid is a very strong acid which results into increase in acidity of the solution.

Thus, the aqueous solution of copper sulphate is acidic in nature.

An analytical chemist is titrating 118.3 mL of a 0.3500 M solution of butanoic acid (HC3H7CO2) with a 0.400 M solution of KOH. T
TEA [102]

Answer:

pH = 12.33

Explanation:

Lets call HA = butanoic acid and A⁻ butanoic acid and its conjugate base butanoate respectively.

The titration reaction is

HA + KOH ---------------------------- A⁻ + H₂O + K⁺

number of moles of HA :   118.3 ml/1000ml/L x 0.3500 mol/L = 0.041 mol HA

number of  moles of OH  : 115.4 mL/1000ml/L x 0.400 mol/L  = 0.046 mol A⁻

therefore the weak acid will be completely consumed and what we have is  the unreacted strong base KOH which will drive the pH of the solution since the contribution of the conjugate base is negligible.

n unreacted KOH = 0.046 - 0.041 = 0.005 mol KOH

pOH = - log (KOH)

M KOH = 0.005 mol / (0.118.3 +0.1154)L = 0.0021 M

pOH = - log (0.0021) = 1.66

pH = 14 - 1.96 = 12.33

Note: It is a mistake to ask for the pH of the <u>acid solutio</u>n since as the above calculation shows we have a basic solution the moment all the acid has been consumed.

Which sample contains the largest number of oxygen atoms? Select one: a. 8.0 g of carbon dioxide b. 8.0 g of potassium chlorate
adell [148]

The sample with the largest number of oxygen atoms will be calcium perchlorate.

<h3>Number of atoms in a compound</h3>

Since we are not looking at the number of moles, the mass of the compounds has no bearing on the number of atoms of oxygen.

  • The chemical formula for carbon dioxide is CO_2. Thus, it has 2 atoms of oxygen.
  • The chemical formula for potassium chlorate is KClO_3. Thus, it has 3 oxygen atoms.
  • The chemical formula for calcium perchlorate is Ca(ClO_4)_2. Thus, it has 8 atoms of oxygen.
  • The chemical formula for sodium hydroxide is NaOH. Thus, it has 1 atom of oxygen.

Therefore, the compound with the largest number of oxygen atoms is calcium perchlorate.

7. A human's appendix, wisdom teeth, and a dew claw are
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Vestigial Structures

Explanation:

Structures that were needed for an organism's ancestor, but no longer required for survival for the current organism. We needed our wisdom teeth and appendix in order to eat tougher foods, but now we do not need those to survive. But, we still have them.
