Why is water considered the greatest solvent on earth

1 answer:

6 0

1) H2O is able to dissolve both polar molecules and non polar ones
2) due to its extreme polarity it can even dissolve some I onic compounds
3 the h2o molecule itself is small in size

In this qn, you use the mole formula,

amount (mol) = mass (g) ÷ molar mass

(molar mass is the mass number of an element, which u can find by referring to the periodic table)

so by subbing in the values given to you, you can find the answer

5. amount of Cu = 55.9 ÷ 63.5 = 0.880mol (3sf)

6. amount of N2 = 340 ÷ 2(14.0) = 12.1mol (3sf)

(note: you multiply the molar mass of N by 2 as there are 2 N atoms)

for qn 7 and 8, youre finding the mass and not the amount. By bringing the molar mass over to the other side of the formula, you get

mass = amount (mol) × molar mass

thus,

7. mass of Fe = 0.063 × 55.8 = 3.52g (3sf)

8. mass of H2 = 94.7 × 2(1.0) = 47.4g (3sf)

extra things to take note of:

- likewise, you can also find the molar mass of an element by using

molar mass = mass(g) ÷ amount(mol)

^^ this is commonly only needed when you need to find the molar mass of an isotope. the question will give you the amount and mass of the element, and you just need to factor them in to find your answer.

- typically, you use 3 sf in your final answer and 5sf in your working. remember to write (3sf) at the end of your number statement when necessary.

- when you get an answer of (eg.) 0.6mol, you still need to write it in 3sf, so your answer would be 0.600mol

What do most logging methods have in common

aalyn [17]

All logging methods cause soil erosion. Logging upsets the base of the soil in the forest which in turn damages the roots of the trees. The roots die and break down when they are being damaged which makes the soil become looser. Logging activities also removes the protective coat that covers the forest floor.

The daily output of stomach acid (gastric juice) is 1000 to 2000 mL. Prior to a meal, stomach acid (HCl) typically has a pH of 1

Semmy [17]

Answer:

B.) 2 HCl(aq) + CaCO₃(s) → CaCl₂(aq) + H₂O(l) + CO₂(g)

C.) 7.4 × 10² mL

D.) 2 HCl(aq) + Mg(OH)₂(aq) → MgCl₂(aq) + H₂O(l)

E.) 1.3 × 10³ mL

Explanation:

The daily output of stomach acid (gastric juice) is 1000 to 2000 mL. Prior to a meal, stomach acid (HCl) typically has a pH of 1.49.

We can calculate the concentration of H⁺ using the definition of pH.

pH = -log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog (-1.49) = 0.0324 M

Since HCl is a strong monoprotic acid, we can consider this to be the concentration of HCl as well.

B.) One chewable tablet of the antacid Maalox contains 600 mg of CaCO₃. Enter the neutralization equation. Express your answer as a molecular equation including phases.

The neutralization equation is:

2 HCl(aq) + CaCO₃(s) → CaCl₂(aq) + H₂O(l) + CO₂(g)

C.) Given that one chewable tablet of the antacid Maalox contains 600 mg of CaCO₃, calculate the milliliters of stomach acid neutralized by two tablets of Maalox. Express the volume in milliliters to two significant figures.

We can establish the following relations:

Each tablet has 600 mg (0.600 g) of CaCO₃.
The molar mass of CaCO₃ is 100.09 g/mol.
The molar ratio of HCl to CaCO₃ is 2:1.
The concentration of HCl is 0.0324 mol/L.

The mililiters of HCl that neutralize 2 tablets of Maalox are:

$2Tablet.\frac{0.600gCaCO_{3}}{1Tablet} .\frac{1molCaCO_{3}}{100.09gCaCO_{3}} .\frac{2molHCl}{1molCaCO_{3}} .\frac{1000mLHCl}{0.0324molHCl} =7.4 \times 10^{2} mLHCl$

D.) The antacid milk of magnesia contains 400 mg of Mg(OH)₂ per teaspoon. Enter the neutralization equation. Express your answer as a molecular equation including phases.

The neutralization equation is:

2 HCl(aq) + Mg(OH)₂(aq) → MgCl₂(aq) + H₂O(l)

E.) Given that the antacid milk of magnesia contains 400 mg of Mg(OH)₂ per teaspoon, calculate the number of milliliters of stomach acid that are neutralized by 1 tablespoon of milk of magnesia. (1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons.)Express the volume in milliliters to two significant figures.

We can establish the following relations:

1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons
1 teaspoon contains 400 mg (0.400 g) of Mg(OH)₂
The molar mass of Mg(OH)₂ is 58.32 g/mol.
The molar ratio of HCl to Mg(OH)₂ is 2:1.
The concentration of HCl is 0.0324 mol/L.

The mililiters of HCl that neutralize 1 tablespoon of milf of magnesia are:

$1Tablespoon.\frac{3Teaspoon}{1Tablespoon} .\frac{0.400gMg(OH)_{2}}{1Teaspoon} .\frac{1molMg(OH)_{2}}{58.32gMg(OH)_{2}} .\frac{2molHCl}{1molMg(OH)_{2}} .\frac{1000mLHCl}{0.0324molHCl} =1.3 \times 10^{3} mLHCl$
