Cinnamon owes its flavor and odor to cinnamaldehyde (C9H8O). Determine the boiling point elevation of a solution of 92.7 mg of c
Flauer [41]

Answer:

The boiling point elevation is 3.53 °C

Explanation:

∆Tb = Kb × m

∆Tb is the boiling point elevation of the solution

Kb is the molal boiling point elevation constant of CCl4 = 5.03 °C/m

m is the molality of the solution is given by moles of solute (C9H8O) divided by mass of solvent (CCl4) in kilogram

Moles of solute = mass/MW =

mass = 92.7 mg = 92.7/1000 = 0.0927 g

MW = 132 g/mol

Moles of solute = 0.0927/132 = 7.02×10^-4 mol

Mass of solvent = 1 g = 1/1000 = 0.001 kg

m = 7.02×10^-4 mol ÷ 0.001 kg = 0.702 mol/kg

∆Tb = 5.03 × 0.702 = 3.53 °C (to 2 decimal places)

What is the difference between pH and pOH?
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

pH measures ratio of H+ ions to OH- ions of substances

pOH measures ratio of OH- ions to H+ ions of substances

Explanation:

pH is a scale which measures the ratio of H+ ions to OH- ions to identify how acidic or basic a substance is. This is because acidic substances have high amounts of H+ ions and low amounts of OH- ions, and therefore have a higher ratio of H+ to OH- ions. (And vice versa for bases, low H+ to OH- ratio) On a pH scale, acidic substances have a pH of 0 to 7, water (neutral pH, not acidic nor basic) has a pH of 7, and bases have a pH of 7-14.

pOH is very similar to pH but measures the opposite: the ratio of OH- ions (indicative of a base) to H+ ions (indicative of an acid). Therefore the pH values are reversed on the scale: Basic substances have pOHs below 7, and acidic substances are above 7 on the pOH scale.

Fundamentally, these two scales measure the same thing is the same way, one just measures the ratio one way (H+:OH-), while the other measured them the other way (OH-:H+), resulting in flipped values on the scales:

pH: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

      <---Acidic--->   <------Basic------->

pOH: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

         <----Basic---->  <-----Acidic------->

Hope this helped!
