This is an acid base reaction and the chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows;
KOH + HClO₄ ---> KClO₄ + H₂O
the stoichiometry of acid to base is 1:1
KOH is a strong base and HClO₄ is a strong acid therefore they both ionize completely into their respective ions
Number of KOH moles - 0.723 M/1000 mL/L x 25.0 mL = 0.018 mol
Number of HClO₄ moles - 0.273 M/1000 mL/L x 50 mL = 0.013 mol
since acid and base react completely, 0.013 mol of acid reacts with 0.013 mol of base.
The excess base remaining is - 0.018 - 0.013 = 0.005 mol
total volume of solution = 25.0 mL + 50.0 mL = 75.0 mL
[OH⁻] = 0.005 mol/0.075 L = 0.067 M
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
pOH = -log(0.067 M)
pOH = 1.17
pOH + pH = 14
Therefore pH = 14 - 1.17 = 12.83
by knowing pH we can calculate the [H₃O⁺]
pH = -log [H₃O⁺]
[H₃O⁺] = antilog[-12.83]
[H₃O⁺]= 1.47 x 10⁻¹³ M
Answer:
The correct option is;
A) The water molecules group together in clumps.
Explanation:
To answer the question, we look at each option as follows
A) The water molecules group together in clumps
This does not aid dissolution of compounds as clumping excludes non polar molecules, making them less soluble.
B) The partial negative oxygen atom end of the water molecule surround cations.
When an ionic compound such as NaCl is dissolved in water, the oxygen atoms surround the positive Na⁺ cations in the solution.
C) The partial positive hydrogen atom end of the water molecule surround anions
When the ionic NaCl compound is dissolved in water, the hydrogen atoms surround the negative Cl⁻ anions in the solution.
D) The water molecules also dissolve nonelectrolytes by creating a hydration sphere around the molecule.
Water is able to dissolve nonelectrolytes by creating an hydration sphere or hydration shell around the molecule.
it is covalent because it does not dissolve in water
Animal cells each have a centrosome and lysosomes, whereas plant cells do not. Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts and other specialized plastids, and a large central vacuole, whereas animal cells do not.
Answer:
pH = 2.69
Explanation:
The complete question is:<em> An analytical chemist is titrating 182.2 mL of a 1.200 M solution of nitrous acid (HNO2) with a solution of 0.8400 M KOH. The pKa of nitrous acid is 3.35. Calculate the pH of the acid solution after the chemist has added 46.44 mL of the KOH solution to it.</em>

The reaction of HNO₂ with KOH is:
HNO₂ + KOH → NO₂⁻ + H₂O + K⁺
Moles of HNO₂ and KOH that react are:
HNO₂ = 0.1822L × (1.200mol / L) = <em>0.21864 moles HNO₂</em>
KOH = 0.04644L × (0.8400mol / L) = <em>0.0390 moles KOH</em>
That means after the reaction, moles of HNO₂ and NO₂⁻ after the reaction are:
NO₂⁻ = 0.03900 moles KOH = moles NO₂⁻
HNO₂ = 0.21864 moles HNO₂ - 0.03900 moles = 0.17964 moles HNO₂
It is possible to find the pH of this buffer (<em>Mixture of a weak acid, HNO₂ with the conjugate base, NO₂⁻), </em>using H-H equation for this system:
pH = pKa + log₁₀ [NO₂⁻] / [HNO₂]
pH = 3.35 + log₁₀ [0.03900mol] / [0.17964mol]
<h3>pH = 2.69</h3>
