Answer:

Explanation:

Matter is anything that has weight and occupies space.

To prove that a bicycle is a matter, we need to show that it has weight and will occupy space.

When you put the bicycle on a weighing scale, you will see the weight of the bicycle. This a proof that bicycle is a matter.

To show that the bicycle can occupy space, place the device in a tank full of water. From the tank, the bicycle will displace some water. Substances that cannot occupy space will not behave in such manner.

What is the pOH of a 0.150 M solution of potassium nitrite? (Ka HNO2 = 4.5 x 10−4 )

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

11.9 is the pOH of a 0.150 M solution of potassium nitrite.

Explanation:

Solution : Given,

Concentration (c) = 0.150 M

Acid dissociation constant = $k_a=4.5\times 10^{-4}$

The equilibrium reaction for dissociation of $HNO_2$ (weak acid) is,

$HNO_2+H_2O\rightleftharpoons NO_2^-+H_3O^+$

initially conc. c 0 0

At eqm. $c(1-\alpha)$ $c\alpha$ $c\alpha$

First we have to calculate the concentration of value of dissociation constant $(\alpha )$ .

Formula used :

$k_a=\frac{(c\alpha)(c\alpha)}{c(1-\alpha)}$

Now put all the given values in this formula ,we get the value of dissociation constant $(\alpha )$ .

$4.5\times 10^{-4}=\frac{(0.150\alpha)(0.150\alpha)}{0.150(1-\alpha)}$

$4.5\times 10^{-4} - 4.5\times 10^{-4}\alpha =0.150\alpha ^2$

$0.150\alpha ^2+4.5\times 10^{-4}\alpha-4.5\times 10^{-4}=0$

By solving the terms, we get

$\alpha=0.0533$

No we have to calculate the concentration of hydronium ion or hydrogen ion.

$[H^+]=c\alpha=0.150\times 0.0533=0.007995 M$

Now we have to calculate the pH.

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

$pH=-\log (0.007995 M)$

$pH=2.097\approx 2.1$

pH + pOH = 14

pOH =14 -2.1 = 11.9

Therefore, the pOH of the solution is 11.9
