Covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between two nonmetals.
1) Chemical reaction
HCl + NaOH ---> NaCl + H2O
25.0 ml
0.150 M 0.250M
2) 50% completion => 0.025 l * 0.150 M * (1/2) = 0.001875 mol HCl consumed and 0.001875 mol HCl in solution
0.001875 mol HCl => 0.001875 mol H(+)
Volume = Volume of HCl solution + Volumen of NaOH solution added
Volume of HCl solution = 0.0250 l
Volume of NaOH = n / M = 0.001875 mol / 0.250M = 0.0075 l
Total volume = 0.0250 l + 0.0075 l = 0.0325 l
[H+] = 0.001875 mol / 0.0325 l = 0.05769 M
pH = - log [H+] = - log (0.05769) = 1.23
Answer: 1.23
3) Equivalence point
0.02500 l * 0.150 M = 0.250M * V
=> V = 0.02500 * 0.150 / 0.250 = 0.015 l
4) 1.00 ml NaOH added beyond the equivalence point
1.00 ml * 1 l / 1000 ml * 0.250 M = 0.00025 mol NaOH in excess
0.00025 mol NaOH = 0.00025 mol OH-
Volume of the solution = 0.02500 l + 0.015 l + 1.00/1000 l = 0.041 l
[OH-] = 0.00025 mol / 0.041 l = 0.00610 M
pOH = - log (0.00610) = 2.21
pH + pOH = 14 => pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 2.21 = 11.76
Answer: 11.76
Pluto is a dwarf planet, but one of the largest known members, in the Kuiper belt.
The Kuiper Belt extends between 30 AU and 55 AU from the Sun
(1 AU = 1.5 × 10^8 km = distance from Earth to Sun).
Pluto's orbit is highly elliptical. It ranges from 30 AU to 50 AU. When Pluto is closest to the Sun, it is inside the orbit of Neptune (30 AU).
Astronomers class Pluto as a <em>resonant Kuiper belt object</em> (KBO). Because it gets so close to Neptune, its orbit is in <em>resonance</em> with that of Neptune. Pluto makes two orbits for every three of Neptune.
