Answer:

Magnesium hydroxide

Explanation:

Toothpaste as such is a mild base. This helps to neutralize the acid produced in the mouth as a result of the action of certain bacteria that help in breaking down food.

Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol and acidic in nature

Carrageenan is a linear polysaccharide and also acidic

Sodium lauryl sulfate is a surfactant and mildly acidic

However, magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) is a base which is used in toothpastes.

Answer:The correct answer is magnesium hydroxide.

Explanation

Magnesium hydroxide is a base used in toothpaste. The role of base is to neutralize the acid secreted out in our mouth by bacteria present in our mouth which causes tooth decay and other related ailments.

Mg(OH)_2(aq)+2H^+(aq)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)+Mg^{2+}(aq)

Where as sorbitol is sugar alcohol found in the fruits and plants. Sodium lauryl sulfate is s basic salt which acts as a surfactant used for cleaning purposes.

Carrageenan is a substance extracted from red and purple seaweed used as thickening or emulsifying agents in the food products.

1) You have an aqueous solution where [OH-] = 1 x 10-4 mol/L.
Irina18 [472]

1. A. 1 x10^{-10}x  is the hydrogen ion concentration.

 B. pH of the solution is 10

  C. The solution is basic.

2. The molarity of NaCl in 2.8 litres of water is 1.18 M

3. 1.64 M is the molarity of new solution.

4. 0.64 M is the molarity of the acid  or HCl used.

Explanation:

1. Data given [OH-] =1 x 10-4   mol/L.

A) K_{w}= [H_{3}O+] [OH]-     K_{w}= 1×10^{-14}

  [H_{3}O+]= 1×10^{-14} ÷ 1 x 10-4

             = 1 x10^{-10}x  is the hydrogen ion concentration.

     

B) pH =-log [H_{3}O+]

pH = -log[-1x 10^{-10}]

   pH  = 10

c) pH value of 10 indicates that it is a basic solution because it is greater than 7 and on pH scale more than 7 value indicates basicity.

2. Molarity is calculated by the formula

Molarity = \frac{number of moles}{volume}  

Number of moles can be calculated as:

n = \frac{mass}{atomic mass of one mole of substance}

n = \frac{195}{58.44}    ( atomic weight of NaCl is 58.44 gm/mole)

n= 3.33 moles

Now the molarity of NaCl in 2.8 litres of water is calculated as:

Molarity = \frac{number of moles}{volume}

M   =   \frac{3.33}{2.8}

M = 1.18

the molarity of NaCl in 2.8 litres of water is 1.18 M

3. Data given:

Initial volume of the HCl solution V1 = 152 ml, initial molarity M1 = 3

final volume of the diluted HCl V2= 750 ml, final molarity M2= Unknown

The initial and final volumes are converted into litres in calculation.

So, M1V1 = M2V2

   3×  \frac{152}{1000}  =  M2 × \frac{750}{1000}

M2 = \frac{0.75}{0.456}

M2 = 1.64 M is the molarity of new solution.

4. In titration the formula used is: M acid x V acid = M base x V base

Volume of base V1= 20 ml Molarity of base M1 = 0.24 M

volume of the acid V2 = 31 ml Molarity of the acid = unknown

the volume will be converted to litres.

So applying the formula,

M acid x V acid = M base x V base

0.24 x  \frac{20}{1000} = Macid x \frac{31}{1000}

0.0048 = Macid x 0.031

Macid= \frac{0.031}{0.048}

M base= 0.64 M is the molarity of the acid  or HCl used.

Does pb(no3)2 + Na3(PO4) = Pb3(PO4)2 + Na(NO3) have a precipitate?
ipn [44]

Answer:

Yes, Pb3(PO4)2.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given balanced chemical reaction, it is possible to use the attached solubility series, it is possible to see that NaNO3 is soluble for the Na^+ and NO3^- ions intercept but insoluble for the Pb^3+ and PO4^2- when intercepting these two. In such a way, we infer that such reaction forms a precipitate of Pb3(PO4)2, lead (II) phosphate.

Regards!
