A 52.0 mL volume of 0.25 M HBr is titrated with 0.50 M KOH. Calculate the pH after addition of 26.0 mL of KOH at 25 ∘C.

1 answer:

7 0

The balanced equation for the above reaction is
HBr + KOH ---> KBr + H₂O
stoichiometry of HBr to KOH is 1:1
HBr is a strong acid and KOH is a strong base and they both completely dissociate.
The number of HBr moles present - 0.25 M / 1000 mL/L x 52.0 mL = 0.013 mol
The number of KOH moles added - 0.50 M / 1000 mL/L x 26.0 mL = 0.013 mol
the number of H⁺ ions = number of OH⁻ ions
therefore complete neutralisation occurs.
Therefore solution is neutral. At 25 °C, when the solution is neutral, pH = 7.
Then pH of solution is 7

The combustion of carbohydrates and the combustion of fats are both exothermic processes, yet the combustion of carbohydrates is

Julli [10]

Explanation:

There are two aspects of a reaction:

Thermodynamics:

Combustion of the compound is reaction with oxygen.

The carbohydrates contain more content of oxygen as compared to fats.

Hence, carbohydrates have lot of oxygen content which are already partially oxidized as compared to fats. Hence, combustion of the carbohydrates is a faster process.

Kinetics:

The molecular reacts also shows that the combustion of the carbohydrates is a faster process.
