Calculate the number of sodium ions, perchlorate ions, Cl atoms and O atoms in 17.8 g of sodium perchlorate. Enter your answers
Degger [83]

17.8 g of sodium perchlorate contains 8.73 × 10²² Na⁺ ions, 8.73 × 10²² ClO₄⁻ ions, 8.73 × 10²² Cl atoms and 3.49 × 10²³ O atoms.

First, we will convert 17.8 g of NaClO₄ to moles using its molar mass (122.44 g/mol).

17.8 g \times \frac{1mol}{122.44g} = 0.145 mol

Next, we will convert 0.145 moles to molecules of NaClO₄ using Avogadro's number; there are 6.02 × 10²³ molecules in 1 mole of molecules.

0.145 mol \times \frac{6.02 \times 10^{23}molecules  }{mol} = 8.73 \times 10^{22}molecules

NaClO₄ is a strong electrolyte that dissociates according to the following equation.

NaClO₄ ⇒ Na⁺ + ClO₄⁻

The molar ratio of NaClO₄ to Na⁺ is 1:1. The number of Na⁺ in 8.73 × 10²² molecules of NaClO₄ is:

8.73 \times 10^{22}moleculeNaClO_4 \times \frac{1 ion Na^{+} }{1moleculeNaClO_4} = 8.73 \times 10^{22}ion Na^{+}

The molar ratio of NaClO₄ to ClO₄⁻ is 1:1. The number of ClO₄⁻ in 8.73 × 10²² molecules of NaClO₄ is:

8.73 \times 10^{22}moleculeNaClO_4 \times \frac{1 ion ClO_4^{-} }{1moleculeNaClO_4} = 8.73 \times 10^{22}ion ClO_4^{-}

The molar ratio of ClO₄⁻ to Cl is 1:1. The number of Cl in 8.73 × 10²² ions of ClO₄⁻ is:

8.73 \times 10^{22}ion ClO_4^{-} \times \frac{1 atomCl }{1ion ClO_4^{-}} = 8.73 \times 10^{22}atom Cl

The molar ratio of ClO₄⁻ to O is 1:1. The number of O in 8.73 × 10²² ions of ClO₄⁻ is:

8.73 \times 10^{22}ion ClO_4^{-} \times \frac{4 atomO }{1ion ClO_4^{-}} = 3.49 \times 10^{23}atom O

17.8 g of sodium perchlorate contains 8.73 × 10²² Na⁺ ions, 8.73 × 10²² ClO₄⁻ ions, 8.73 × 10²² Cl atoms and 3.49 × 10²³ O atoms.

Calculate the pH for each of the following cases in the titration of 50.0 mL of 0.210 M HClO(aq) with 0.210 M KOH(aq).
Degger [83]
a) before addition of any KOH : 

when we use the Ka equation & Ka = 4 x 10^-8 : 

Ka = [H+]^2 / [ HCIO]

by substitution:

4 x 10^-8 = [H+]^2 / 0.21

[H+]^2 = (4 x 10^-8) * 0.21

           = 8.4 x 10^-9

[H+] = √(8.4 x 10^-9)

       = 9.2 x 10^-5 M

when PH = -㏒[H+]

   PH = -㏒(9.2 x 10^-5)

        = 4  

b)After addition of 25 mL of KOH: this produces a buffer solution 

So, we will use Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to get PH:

PH = Pka +㏒[Salt]/[acid]


first, we have to get moles of HCIO= molarity * volume

                                                           =0.21M * 0.05L

                                                           = 0.0105 moles

then, moles of KOH = molarity * volume 

                                  = 0.21 * 0.025

                                  =0.00525 moles 

∴moles HCIO remaining = 0.0105 - 0.00525 = 0.00525

and when the total volume is = 0.05 L + 0.025 L =  0.075 L

So the molarity of HCIO = moles HCIO remaining / total volume

                                        = 0.00525 / 0.075

                                        =0.07 M

and molarity of KCIO = moles KCIO / total volume

                                    = 0.00525 / 0.075

                                    = 0.07 M

and when Ka = 4 x 10^-8 

∴Pka =-㏒Ka

         = -㏒(4 x 10^-8)

         = 7.4 

by substitution in H-H equation:

PH = 7.4 + ㏒(0.07/0.07)

∴PH = 7.4 

c) after addition of 35 mL of KOH:

we will use the H-H equation again as we have a buffer solution:

PH = Pka + ㏒[salt/acid]

first, we have to get moles HCIO = molarity * volume 

                                                        = 0.21 M * 0.05L

                                                        = 0.0105 moles

then moles KOH = molarity * volume
                            =  0.22 M* 0.035 L 

                            =0.0077 moles 

∴ moles of HCIO remaining = 0.0105 - 0.0077=  8 x 10^-5

when the total volume = 0.05L + 0.035L = 0.085 L

∴ the molarity of HCIO = moles HCIO remaining / total volume 

                                      = 8 x 10^-5 / 0.085

                                      = 9.4 x 10^-4 M

and the molarity of KCIO = moles KCIO / total volume

                                          = 0.0077M / 0.085L

                                          = 0.09 M

by substitution:

PH = 7.4 + ㏒( 0.09 /9.4 x 10^-4)

∴PH = 8.38

D)After addition of 50 mL:

from the above solutions, we can see that 0.0105 mol HCIO reacting with 0.0105 mol KOH to produce 0.0105 mol KCIO which dissolve in 0.1 L (0.5L+0.5L) of the solution.

the molarity of KCIO = moles KCIO / total volume

                                   = 0.0105mol / 0.1 L

                                   = 0.105 M

when Ka = KW / Kb

∴Kb = 1 x 10^-14 / 4 x 10^-8

       = 2.5 x 10^-7

by using Kb expression:

Kb = [CIO-] [OH-] / [KCIO]

when [CIO-] =[OH-] so we can substitute by [OH-] instead of [CIO-]

Kb = [OH-]^2 / [KCIO] 

2.5 x 10^-7 = [OH-]^2 /0.105

∴[OH-] = 0.00016 M

POH = -㏒[OH-]

∴POH = -㏒0.00016

           = 3.8
∴PH = 14- POH

        =14 - 3.8

PH = 10.2

e) after addition 60 mL of KOH:

when KOH neutralized all the HCIO so, to get the molarity of KOH solution

M1*V1= M2*V2

 when M1 is the molarity of KOH solution

V1 is the total volume = 0.05 + 0.06 = 0.11 L

M2 = 0.21 M 

V2 is the excess volume added  of KOH = 0.01L

so by substitution:

M1 * 0.11L = 0.21*0.01L

∴M1 =0.02 M

∴[KOH] = [OH-] = 0.02 M

∴POH = -㏒[OH-]

           = -㏒0.02 

           = 1.7

∴PH = 14- POH

       = 14- 1.7 

      = 12.3

What makes the star Alpha Centauri appear to be yellow-white??
Vilka [71]
The Alpha Centuri star looks yellow-white because it has the same spectral type of G2 as the sun. Alpha Centauri A also looks yellow-white because it is much hotter than Alpha Centauri B, which is yellow-orange.
