Chemical nomenclature, replete as it is withcompounds with complex names, is arepository for some very peculiar and sometimes startling names. A browse through the Physical Constants of Organic Compounds in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (a fundamental resource) will reveal not just the whimsical work of chemists, but the sometimes peculiar compound names that occur as the consequence of simple juxtaposition. Some names derive legitimately from their chemical makeup, from the geographic region where they may be found, the plant or animal species from which they are isolated or the name of the discoverer.

What is the mass (in grams) of 9.83 × 1024 molecules of methanol (CH3OH)?
Ber [7]
<span>523 grams First, calculate the molar mass of CH3OH Atomic weight of carbon = 12.0107 Atomic weight of hydrogen = 1.00794 Atomic weight of oxygen = 15.999 Molar mass of CH3OH = 12.0107 + 4 * 1.00794 + 15.999 = 32.04146 Now determine how many moles you have by dividing the number of atoms by avogadro's number moles = 9.83 x 10^24 / 6.0221409 x 10^23 = 16.3231 Now multiply the number of moles by the molar mass 16.3231 * 32.04146 = 523.0159557 Since we only have 3 significant figures, round the result to 3 significant figures. 523.0159557 grams = 523 grams</span>

Why is the reaction of a strong acid and a strong base classified as a neutralization reaction?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Answer choice C

Explanation:

Basicly for the Arrhenius and Bornsted-Lowery theories of acids & bases, acid-base reactions can be divided into 4 forms...

a. Strong Acid + Strong Base (HCl/NaOH) => pH = 7 at Eqv. Pt.

b. Weak Acid + Strong Base (HOAc/NaOH) => pH > 7 at Eqv. Pt.

c. Strong Acid + Weak Base (HCl & NH₄OH) => pH < 7 at Eqv. Pt.

d. Weak Acid + Weak Base (HOAc & NH₄OH) => pH ∝ Stronger Electrolyte

*HOAc = Acetic Acid

*NH₄OH = Ammonium Hydroxide

For each type reaction the pH at equivalence point depends upon the salt generated by the acid-base reaction. Ions of the salt, if they react with water, (hydrolysis) will shift the pH up or down depending upon which ion reacts. If there is no reaction by the salt ions then the pH will depend only upon autoionization of water which gives pH = 7. Typically Strong Acids + Strong Bases will give a pH = 7 at equivalence point because the ions of the salt will not undergo hydrolysis in water.

Example:

Strong Acid + Strong Base

HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) => NaCl(aq) + H₂O(l)

NaCl(aq) => Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

Na⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) => No Rxn (theoretically NaOH, but NaOH is a strong base which prefers to remain 100% ionized in water).

Cl⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) => No Rxn (theoretically HCl, but HCl is a strong acid which prefers to remain 100% ionized in water).

<em>Therefore, the net rxn is H⁺ + OH⁻ => H₂O & pH = 7.0</em>

Weak Acid + Strong Base

HOAc(aq) + NaOH(aq) => NaOAc(aq) + H₂O(l)

NaOAc(aq) => Na⁺(aq) + OAc⁻(aq)

Na⁺(aq) +  H₂O(l) => No Rxn

OAc⁻(aq) +  H₂O(l) => HOAc(aq) + OH⁻(aq) => (Excess OH⁻ functions to increase pH>7 at eqv. pt.)

Strong Acid + Weak Base

HCl(aq) + NH₄OH(aq) => NH₄Cl(aq) + H₂O(l)

NH₄Cl(aq)  => NH₄⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

Cl⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) => No Rxn

NH₄⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) => NH₄OH(aq) + H⁺(aq) => (Excess H⁺ functions to decrease pH < 7 at eqv. pt. )

 What is the subject chemistry actually all about? Is it hard, and should I take regular or honors?
horsena [70]
It depends if you are taking the class in high school or college. For college doing the experiments is fun but the calculations is not. Also if you are taking it, bring friends.
