Why is phenolphthalein not a good indicator to use for a titration that has a ph of 6.0 at the equivalence point?

1 answer:

5 0

Phenolphthalein is not a good indicator to use for a titration for a solution that has a ph of 6.0 at the equivalence point because the color change of the solution at this pH level is not sharp. It changes the color of the solution to pink starting from pH 8.3 to 10. A pH level lower than 8.3 would only show a colorless solution. Thus, you would not be able to distinguish whether the solution has reached its equivalence point at pH 6.0. It is best to use this indicator for a system that is using a strong base titrated with a weak acid.

sattari [20]

Answer/Explanation:

Heat from the sun hits the ground and is absorbed. The higher you go, it gets more colder due to the fact that the air doesn't hold onto the radiation as it goes straight through the ground, which is why the top of mountains are very cold, and people are able to die in minutes.

The acceleration of a sprinter is 10 m/s2. The force exerted on the starting blocks is 650 N. What is the mass of the sprinter?

jek_recluse [69]

The relation between force, mass of an object and its acceleration is given by following equation

F = mass of object X acceleration

The unit of Force is Newton (N)

unit of acceleration is ms⁻²

unit of mass if Kg

[all these are SI units]

Mass of object = $\frac{Force}{acceleration}$

mass of sprinter = $\frac{650}{10}=65kg$

Consider the following reaction at equilibrium: C(s)+H2O(g)⇌CO(g)+H2(g) Predict whether the reaction will shift left, shift righ

vazorg [7]

'Answer:

a) C is added to the reaction mixture. "shift right"

b) H₂O is condensed and removed from the reaction mixture. "shift left"

c) CO is added to the reaction mixture. "shift left"

d) H₂ is removed from the reaction mixture. "shift right"

Explanation:

Le Châtelier's principle states that when there is an dynamic equilibrium, and this equilibrium is disturbed by an external factor, the equilibrium will be shifted in the direction that can cancel the effect of the external factor to reattain the equilibrium.

a) C is added to the reaction mixture:

Adding C(s) will increase the concentration of the reactants side, so the reaction will be shifted to the right side to suppress the increase in the concentration of C by addition.

So, the reaction shift right.

b) H₂O is condensed and removed from the reaction mixture:

Removing H₂O will decrease the concentration of the reactants side, so the reaction will be shifted to the left side to suppress the decrease in the concentration of H₂O by removal.

So, the reaction shift left.

c) CO is added to the reaction mixture:

Adding CO will increase the concentration of the products side, so the reaction will be shifted to the left side to suppress the increase in the concentration of CO by addition.

So, the reaction shift left.

d) H₂ is removed from the reaction mixture:

Removing H₂ will decrease the concentration of the products side, so the reaction will be shifted to the right side to suppress the increase in the concentration of H₂ by removal.

So, the reaction shift right.
