Answer:

We need 4.28 grams of sodium formate

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

MW of sodium formate = 68.01 g/mol

Volume of 0.42 mol/L formic acid = 150 mL = 0.150 L

pH = 3.74

Ka = 0.00018

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate [base)

3.74 = -log(0.00018) + log [base]/[acid]

0 = log [base]/[acid]

0 = log [base] / 0.42

10^0 = 1 = [base]/0.42 M

[base] = 0.42 M

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate moles of sodium formate:

Moles sodium formate = molarity * volume

Moles of sodium formate = 0.42 M * 0.150 L = 0.063 moles

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate mass of sodium formate:

Mass sodium formate = moles sodium formate * Molar mass sodium formate

Mass sodium formate = 0.063 mol * 68.01 g/mol

Mass sodium formate = 4.28 grams

We need 4.28 grams of sodium formate

According to the chart of specific heats, which material requires the most heat to raise its temperature from 10°C to 30°C?
myrzilka [38]

The material which requires the most heat to raise its temperature from 10°C to 30°C is oil.

<h3>What is the formula to calculate absorbed heat?</h3>

The formula which we used to calculate the amount of involved heat in relation with specific heat is:

Q = mcΔT, where

  • Q = absorbed heat
  • m = mass
  • c = specific heat
  • ΔT = change in temperature

Among the given materials, specific heat of oil is highest than other materials so will require maximum absorbed heat.

Hence, oil requires the most heat.

No links please. How many moles of methane (CH4) are in 7.31x10^25 molecules?
ad-work [718]

Answer:

molar mass of methane CH4

= C + 4 H  

= 12.0 + 4 x 1.008

= 12.0 +  4.032

= 16.042g/mol

7.31 x 10^25 molecules x             1 mole  CH4      = 121.43 moles

                                      6.02 x 10^23 CH4 molecules

121.43 moles CH4 are present.

Explanation:

not to certain if this is right or not.. but hope it helps!
