<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the solution is 13.0

<u>Explanation:</u>

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

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}

Given mass of KOH = 716. mg = 0.716 g    (Conversion factor:  1 g = 1000 mg)

Molar mass of KOH = 56 g/mol

Volume of solution = 130 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{0.716\times 1000}{56g/mol\times 130}\\\\\text{Molarity of solution}=0.098M

1 mole of KOH produces 1 mole of hydroxide ions and 1 mole of potassium ions

  • To calculate hydroxide ion concentration of the solution, we use the equation:

pOH=-\log[OH^-]

We are given:

[tex[[OH^-]=0.098M[/tex]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

pOH=-\log(0.098)\\\\pOH=1.00

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

pOH + pH = 14

So,  pH = 14 - 1.00 = 13.0

Hence, the pH of the solution is 13.0

Consider the following reaction at equilibrium: 2 NH3(g) ⇄ N2(g) + 3 H2(g) What does Le Chatelier's principle predict will happe
BabaBlast [244]

Answer : The equilibrium will shift in the left direction.

Explanation :

Le-Chatelier's principle : This principle states that if any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

The given reaction is:

2NH_3(g)\rightleftharpoons N_2(g)+3H_2(g)

As per question, when we are adding N_2  then the concentration of N_2 is increased on product side then the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease of concentration of N_2 takes place. Therefore, the equilibrium will shift in the left direction.

Thus, the equilibrium will shift in the left direction.

Charra [1.4K]

When atoms and molecules speed up or slow down, that is a physical change. When they change state from liquid to solid or from gas to liquid, that is a physical change. ... The ions or molecules can still come back together to form the original substance
