A sample of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) has a mass of 160. 0 g. The molar mass of NaOH is 40. 00 g/mol. How many moles of NaOH does
Andrew [12]

4 moles of NaOH is present in the given 160 grams of NaOH.

<h3>How we calculate moles?</h3>

Moles of any substance will be calculated as:

n = W/M, where

W = given mass of NaOH = 160 grams (given)

M = molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mole

Moles of NaOH is calculated as:

n = 160g / 40g/mol = 4 moles

Hence, moles of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is 4 moles.

Ethanol is added to gasoline to produce E-15 and E-85. It promotes more complete combustion of the gasoline and is an octane boo
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

2,2,4-trimethylpentane has the higher heat of combustion in kcal/mol.

Explanation:

Heat of combustion is defined as heat evolved on combustion of 1 mole of a substance.

2,2,4-trimethylpentane has the higher heat of combustion in kcal/mol.

Heat combustion of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane =  (1304 kcal/mol) and

C_8H_{18}+\frac{25}{2}O_2\rightarrow 8CO_2+9H_2O,\Delta H=-1,304 kcal/mol

1 mole of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane on combustion gives 8 mole sof carbon dioxide gas and 9 moles of water.

Heat combustion of ethanol = (327 kcal/mol)

C_2H_5OH+3O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O,\Delta H=-327kcal/mol

1 mole of ethanol on combustion gives 2 moles of carbon dioxide gas and 3 mole of water.

Heat combustion of ethanol < Heat combustion of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane

You need to produce a buffer solution that has a pH of 4.97. You already have a solution that contains 10. mmol (millimoles) of
motikmotik

Answer:

16.9 mmoles are needed to add to the solution

Explanation:

To solve this, we can apply the Henderson Hasselbach equation:

Acetic acid → CH₃COOH

CH₃COOH  +  H₂O  ⇄  CH₃COO⁻   +  H₃O⁺             Ka

That is the acid base equilibrium, to determine the amount:

pKa of acetic acid is 4.74

Henderson Hasselbach formula is:

pH = pKa + log (base/acid)

We replace  →  4.97 = 4.74 + log (B / 10mmoles)

Let's verify mmoles of B

4.97 - 4.74 = log (B/10)

0.23 =  log (B/10)

10^(0.23) = 10^(log (B/10)

1.698 = B/10

B = 1.698 . 10 → 16.9 mmoles
