Answer:

Blue litmus paper paper turns red under acidic conditions. Red litmus paper turns blue under basic or alkaline conditions. If you're using a universal indicator, the weak base should turn those blue.

Suppose you have just added 200.0 ml of a solution containing 0.5000 moles of acetic acid per liter to 100.0 ml of 0.5000 M NaOH

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The final pH is 3.80

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of acetic acid = 200.0 mL = 0.200 L

Number of moles acetic acid = 0.5000 moles

Volume of NaOH = 100.0 mL = 0.100 L

Molarity of NaOH = 0.500 M

Ka of acetic acid = 1.770 * 10^-5

Step 2: The balanced equation

CH3COOH + NaOH → CH3COONa + H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles

moles = molarity * volume

Moles NaOH = 0.500 M * 0.100 L

Moles NaOH = 0.0500 moles

Step 4: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 1 mol CH3COOH we need 1 mol NaOH to produce 1 mol CH3COONa and 2 moles H2O

NaOH is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (0.0500 moles). CH3COOH is in excess. There will react 0.0500 moles . There will remain 0.500 - 0.0500 = 0.450 moles

There will be produced 0.0500 moles CH3COONa

Step 5: Calculate the total volume

Total volume = 200.0 mL + 100.0 mL = 300.0 mL

Total volume = 0.300 L

Step 6: Calculate molarity

Molarity = moles / volume

[CH3COOH] = 0.450 moles / 0.300 L

[CH3COOH] = 1.5 M

[CH3COONa] = 0.0500 moles / 0.300 L

[CH3COONa]= 0.167 M

Step 7: Calculate pH

pH = pKa + log[A-]/ [HA]

pH = -log(1.77*10^-5) + log (0.167/ 1.5)

pH = 4.75 + log (0.167/1.5)

pH = 3.80

The final pH is 3.80

Define Triple point of water?

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>TRIPLE POINT:</h2>

Triple point is that temperature, at which the substance is found in all three states i.e. solid, liquid and gas. Every substance has different triple point, because Triple point is just above the freezing point and each substance has different freezing and boiling point.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>WATER:</h2>

Water has a Melting point or Freezing Point (MP or FP) of $0^0$ C or 273K and Boiling point (BP) $100^{0}$ C or 373 K. Since the triple point is just above the MP or FP thus Triple Point of water is $0.01^{0}$ C or 273.16K.
