<u>Answer:</u> The molality of NaOH in the solution is 0.551 m

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate mass of a substance, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Density of solution = 1.15 g/mL

Volume of solution = 1 L = 1000 mL     (Conversion factor:  1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.15 g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of solution}}{1000mL}\\\\\text{Mass of solution}=(1.15g/mL\times 1000mL)=1150g

We are given:

Mass of solute (NaOH) = 24.8 grams

Mass of solution = 1150 grams

Mass of solvent = Mass of solution - mass of solute = [1150 - 24.8] g = 1125.2 g

To calculate the molality of solution, we use the equation:

Molality=\frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}

Where,

m_{solute} = Given mass of solute (NaOH) = 24.8 g

M_{solute} = Molar mass of solute (NaOH) = 40 g/mol

W_{solvent} = Mass of solvent = 1125.2 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molality of }NaOH=\frac{24.8\times 1000}{40\times 1125.2}\\\\\text{Molality of }NaOH=0.551m

Hence, the molality of NaOH in the solution is 0.551 m

What is the pOH of a 0.025 M [H+] solution? A.0.94 B.1.60 C.12.40 D.13.06
Greeley [361]

Answer:

option C= 12.40

Explanation:

Formula:

pH + pOH = 14

First of all we will calculate the pH.

pH = - log [H⁺]

pH = - log [0.025]

pH = - (-1.6)

pH = 1.6

Now we will put the values in formula,

pH + pOH = 14

pOH = 14-pH

pOH = 14 -1.6

pOH = 12.4

The pOH of solution is 12.4.
