What's difference between "formula unit" and "molecule" ?

1 answer:

6 0

The difference between "formula unit" and "molecule" lies in the fact that a molecule is made up of two or more elements that are bonded covalently while a formula nit represents the lowest whole number ratio of ions in an ionic compound which makes it applicable only to ionic substances.

What do solids maintain thier shape where a fluids do not? does anybody know the answer

suter [353]

Solids maintain their shape, whereas fluids do not because the molecules in solids maintain a regular pattern and only vibrate, or move very slowly

A 50.0 mL solution of 0.141 M KOH is titrated with 0.282 M HCl . Calculate the pH of the solution after the addition of each of

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

pH =1 2.84

Explanation:

First we have to start with the reaction between HCl and KOH:

$HCl~+~KOH->~H_2O~+~KCl$

Now for example, we can use a volume of 10 mL of HCl. So, we can calculate the moles using the molarity equation:

$M=\frac{mol}{L}$

We know that $10mL=0.01L$ and we have the concentration of the HCl $0.282M$ , when we plug the values into the equation we got:

$0.282M=\frac{mol}{0.01L}$

$mol=0.282*0.01$

$mol=0.00282$

We can do the same for the KOH values ( $50mL=0.05L$ and $0.141M$ ).

$0.141M=\frac{mol}{0.05L}$

$mol=0.141*0.05$

$mol=0.00705$

So, we have so far 0.00282 mol of HCl and 0.00705 mol of KOH. If we check the reaction we have a molar ratio 1:1, therefore if we have 0.00282 mol of HCl we will need 0.00282 mol of KOH, so we will have an excess of KOH. This excess can be calculated if we substract the amount of moles:

$0.00705-0.00282=0.00423mol~of~KOH$

Now, if we want to calculate the pH value we will need a concentration, in this case KOH is in excess, so we have to calculate the concentration of KOH. For this, we already have the moles of KOH that remains left, now we need the total volume:

$Total~volume=50mL+10mL=60mL$
