Answer:

Explanation:

Public tap water is not desirable when carrying out experiments in the laboratory.

The chemical definition of water is a compound made up of two atoms of hydrogen to 1 atom of oxygen. Any violation simply desist from the true meaning of water.

Why are tap water not used:

They contain other dissolved ions like chlorine which have been added in their treatment. This alters the fundamental molecules that is expected to be seen in water. Water of this nature can affect experimental results seriously.
Tap water can become a mixture instead of a simple compound. A mixture is a combination of several compounds. Such water will have a varied composition and make simplification of experiments very difficult.

Which statement describes how technology has increased our information on Mars?

Luden [163]

The Curiosity rover found sulfur compounds in rocks and carbon in organic compounds like propane, butene, benzene, toluene and thiophene.

It detected methane, not in soil samples, but in the Martian atmosphere.

It did not discover helium in underground pockets. The hole it can drill is only 5 cm deep.

A buffer contains 0.18 mol of propionic acid (C2H5COOH) and 0.26 mol of sodium propionate (C2H5COONa) in 1.20 L. What is the pH

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

1) pH = 5.05

2) pH = 5.13

3) pH = 4.97

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles of propionic acid = 0.18 moles

Number of moles sodium propionate = 0.26 moles

Volume = 1.20 L

Ka = 1.3 * 10^-5 → pKa = 4.989

Step 2: Calculate concentrations

Concentration = moles / volume

[acid]= 0.18/ 1.2 =0.150 M

[salt]= 0.26/ 1.3 = 0.217 M

pH = 4.89 + log(0.217/0.150)=<u>5.05</u>

What is the pH of the buffer after the addition of 0.02 mol of NaOH?

moles acid = 0.18 - 0.02 = 0.16

[acid]= 0.16/ 1.2=0.133 M

moles salt = 0.26 + 0.02 = 0.28

[salt]= 0.28/ 12=0.233

pH = 4.89 + log 0.233/ 0.133 = 5.13

What is the pH of the buffer after the addition of 0.02 mol of HI?

moles acid = 0.18+ 0.02 = 0.20 moles

[acid]= 0.20/ 1.2 = 0.167 M

[salt]= 0.26 - 0.02= 0.24 moles

[salt]= 0.24/ 1.2 = 0.20 M

pH = 4.89 + log 0.20/ 0.167= 4.97

How many grams of water are produced when 35.8 grams of Calcium hydroxide reacts with lots of Hydrochloric acid?

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Are produced 72 grams of water in this reaction.

<h3>Mole calculation</h3>

To find the value of moles of a product from the number of moles of a reactant, it is necessary to observe the stoichiometric ratio between them:

$Ca(OH)_2 + 2HCl = > 2H_2O + CaCl_2$

Analyzing the reaction, it is possible to see that the stoichiometric ratio is 1:2, so we can perform the following expression:

$MM_{Ca(OH)_2} = 74.1g/mol$

$MM = \frac{g}{mol}$

$74.1 = \frac{35.8}{mol}\\mol = 2$

So, if there are 2 mols of Ca(OH)2:

Ca(OH)2 | H2O

$\frac{1mol}{2mol} =\frac{2mol}{xmol}$

$x = 4mol$

Finally, just find the number of grams of water using your molar mass:

$MM_{H_2O} = 18g/mol$

$18= \frac{m}{4}\\m = 72g$

So, 72 grams are produced of water in this reaction.
