A 4.36 g sample of an unknown alkali metal hydroxide is dissolved in 100.0 ml of water. an acid-base indicator is added and the

resulting solution is titrated with 2.50 m hcl (aq) solution. the indicator changes color signaling that the equivalent point has been reached after 17.0 ml of the hydrochloric acid solution has been added. (a) what is the molar mass of the metal hydroxide? (b) what is the identity of the metal cation?

Answer:

(a) 102.6g/mol

(b) Rubidium

Explanation:

Hello,

This titration is carried out by assuming that the volume of base doesn't have a significant change when the mass is added, thus, we state the following data a apply the down below formula to compute the molarity of the base solution:

V_{base}=0.1L; M_{acid}=2.5M, V_{acid}=0.017L\\V_{base}M_{base}=V_{acid}M_{acid}

Solving for the molarity of base we've got:

M_{base}=\frac{M_{acid}*V_{acid}}{V_{base}}=\frac{2.50M*0.017L}{0.1L} =0.425M=0.425mol/L

Now, we can compute the moles of the base as:

n_{base}=0.425mol/L*0.1L=0.0425mol

(a) Now, one divides the provided mass over the previously computed moles to get the molecular mass of the unknown base:

\frac{4.36g}{0.0425mol} =102.6g/mol

(b) Subtracting the atomic mass of oxygen and hydrogen, the metal's atomic mass turns out into:

102.6g/mol-16g/mol-1g/mol=85.6g/mol

So, that atomic mass dovetails to the Rubidium's atomic mass.

Best regards.

a faucet is leaking water at a speed of 5 drops per minute. If 1 ml is equivalent to 10 drops, how many liters of water will be
nikdorinn [45]

Answer: 0.72 litres of water is wasted in one day.

Explanation:

First you need to find out how many minutes are in a day. Do this by multiplying the number of minutes in an hour (60) by the number of hours in a day (24). 24 x 60 = 1440. If the faucet is dripping at 5 drops per minute, then multiply 5 by the number of minutes in a day (1440) to see how many drops drip in one day. 5 x 1440 = 7200. Now we need to figure out how many mL fo water that is. if 10 drops is 1 mL, then we need to divide the total number of drops (7200) by 10. 7200 divided by 10 is 720. That means 720 mL of water is dripping per day. Finally, we must convert mL to litres. There are 1000 mL in one litre, so divide 720 by 1000. The final answer is 0.72

Which has a larger electronegativity O or F?
jarptica [38.1K]

F. because electronegativity generally increases as you move from left to right across a periodic table, and F is farther right than O
