A student was asked to prepare 500.0 mL of 6.0 M NaOH. The student measured 120.0 g of NaOH and placed it in a 1000 mL beaker. T

he student then added 500.0 mL of distilled water to the beaker and stirred until all of the NaOH had dissolved. The resulting solution is not 6.0 M. Is the concentration too high or too low? Explain and describe the proper technique for preparing this solution. 黑鬼

Answer:

The concentration of the solution will be much lower than 6M

Explanation:

To prepare a solution of a solid, the appropriate mass is taken and accurately weighed in a weighing balance and then made up to mark with distilled water.

From

n= CV

n = number of moles m/M( m= mass of solid, M= molar mass of compound)

C= concentration of substance

V= volume of solution

m=120g

M= 40gmol-1

V=500ml

120/40= C×500/1000

C= 120/40× 1000/500

C=6M

This solution will not be exactly 6M if the student follows the procedure outlined in the question. The actual concentration will be much less than 6M.

This is because, solutions are prepared in a standard volumetric flask. Using a 1000ml beaker, the student must have added more water than the required 500ml thereby making the actual concentration of the solution less than the expected 6M.

Equal volumes of SO2(g) and O2(g) at STP contain the same number of
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Equal volumes of SO2(g) and O2(g) at STP contain the same number of molecules

Explanation:

According to Avogadro Law,

Equal volume of all the gases at same temperature and pressure have equal number of molecules.

This law state that volume and number of moles of gas have direct relation.

When the amount of gas increases its volume will increase and when the amount of gas decreases its volume will decrease.

Mathematical relation:

V ∝ n

V/n = K

K is proportionality constant.

When number of moles change from n₁ to n₂ and volume from V₁ to V₂

expression will be,

V₁/n₁ = K     ,     V₂/n₂ = K

V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂

Which characteristic of water helps it form droplets?
inessss [21]

Answer: C. High surface tension

Explanation:

Water has high specific heat as it require high heat to raise the temperature of 1 g of water through 1^0C.

Surface tension is the net downward force acting on the surface of liquids due to the cohesive nature of liquids.  

Water molecules are bonded by strong hydrogen bonding between the hydrogen atom and the electronegative oxygen atom making it polar. Thus water molecules present on the surface are strongly attracted by the molecules present below the surface and thus act as a stretched membrane.  

The surface acquires a minimum surface are and thus acquire a spherical shape.

How does adding an atom affect the position of existing atoms or lone pairs?
Paha777 [63]

Adding an atom will increase the repulsion between existing atoms and lone pairs. Added atom will result in bond pair-bond pair and bond pair-lone pair repulsion. The magnitude of the lone pair-bond pair repulsion is greater than the bond pair-bond pair repulsion. The added atom will change the electron geometry and bring about a distortion in the molecular geometry.

Aqueous solutions of barium nitrate and potassium phosphate are mixed. What is the precipitate and how many molecules are formed
kykrilka [37]

Aqueous solutions of barium nitrate and potassium phosphate are mixed. What is the precipitate and how many molecules are formed?

Barium nitrate has a chemical symbol of Ba(NO3)2 and potassium phosphate has a chemical symbol K2PO4. The reaction between these two is a double replacement reaction yielding barium phosphate and potassium nitrate.

The chemical equation representing the reaction is,

            Ba(NO3)2 + K2PO4 à KNO3 + BaPO4
