Answer:

You may, but it is too risky.

Even though you are being cautious around using electric equipment around water, you'll never know what can happen. You might accidentally drop that piece of electrical equipment you are using into the water. Water can be splashed around by someone or something without you noticing it and it may affect the object you are using. Sometimes, if water comes in contact with an electrical object, it may cause you electric shocks or the equipment you are using has a chance of exploding and may hurt you. You can guarantee that waterproof electrical equipment is safe to use, but it is better not to risk it too much.

A cube of aluminum (density = 2.70 g/ml) has a mass of 17.2 g. what is the edge length of the cube?

Helen [10]

<span>The formula for mass, which is mass = density x volume, can be rewritten as volume = mass/density. We can deduce the volume of the cube as the mass and density are given: 17.2g/2.7g/ml = 6.37ml. Now that the volume of the cube is known, we can deduce the edge length. Volume = length x width x height, so 6.37 = X^3. We then take the cube root of 6.37 to discover the value of x, which will be the edge length of the cube. The edge length of the cube is 1.85 cm.</span>

If you are trying to pipet an unknown liquid with a pipetman and the liquid keeps running out of the tip before you can transfer

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

This is due to the physical properties of the sample, since it affects the volume dispensed.

Explanation:

For example, in the case of very dense samples, selected samples to adhere to the surface of the tip, dispensing more slowly. In contrast, ethanol samples are less viscous and more volatile and are dispensed more rapidly. Some of the ways to minimize these inconveniences are the use of ultra low retention pipette tips, since they have a hydrophobic plastic additive that prevents the liquid from adhering to the inside of the tip.

Another way is to use the reverse pipetting.

Consider the titration of a 20.0-mL sample of 0.105 M HC2H3O2 with 0.125 M NaOH. Determine each quantity. a. the initial pH b. t

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

Concentration of $HC_2H_3O_2 \ (M_1)$ = 0.105 M

Volume of $HC_2H_3O_2 \ (V_1)$ = 20.0 mL

Concentration of $NaOH (M_2)$ = 0.125 M

The chemical reaction can be expressed as:

$HC_2H_3O_2_{(aq)} + NaOH _{(aq)} \to NaC_2H_3O_2_{(aq)} + H_2O_{(l)}$

Using the ICE Table to determine the equilibrium concentrations.

$HC_2 H_3 O_2 _{(aq)} + H_2O _{(l) } \to C_2 H_3O_2^- _{(aq)} + H_3O^+_{ (aq)}$

I 0.105 0 0

C -x +x +x

E 0.105 - x x x

$K_a = \dfrac{[C_2H_5O^-_2][H_3O^+]}{[HC_2H_3O_2]}$

$K_a = \dfrac{(x)(x)}{(0.105-x)}$

Recall that the ka for $HC_2H_3O_2= 1.8 \times 10^{-5}$

Then;

$1.8 \times 10^{-5} = \dfrac{(x)(x)}{(0.105 -x)}$

$1.8 \times 10^{-5} = \dfrac{x^2}{(0.105 -x)}$

By solving the above mathematical expression;

x = 0.00137 M

$H_3O^+ = x = 0.00137 \ M \\ \\ pH = - log [H_3O^+] \\ \\ pH = - log ( 0.00137 )$

pH = 2.86

Hence, the initial pH = 2.86

b) To determine the volume of the added base needed to reach the equivalence point by using the formula:

$M_1 V_1 = M_2 V_2$

$V_2= \dfrac{M_1V_1}{M_2}$

$V_2= \dfrac{0.105 \ M \times 20.0 \ mL }{0.125 \ M}$

$V_2 = 16.8 mL$

Thus, the volume of the added base needed to reach the equivalence point = 16.8 mL

c) when pH of 5.0 mL of the base is added.

The Initial moles of $HC_2H_3O_2 =$ molarity × volume

$= 0.105 \ M \times 20.0 \times 10^{-3} \ L$

$= 2.1 \times 10^{-3}$

number of moles of 5.0 NaOH = molarity × volume

number of moles of 5.0 NaOH = $0.625 \times 10^{-3}$

After reacting with 5.0 mL NaOH, the number of moles is as follows:

$HC_2 H_3 O_2 _{(aq)} + NaOH _{(aq)} \to NaC_2H_3O_2_{(aq)} + H_2O{ (l)}$

Initial moles $2.1*10^{-3}$ $0.625 * 10^{-3}$ 0 0

F(moles) $(2.1*10^{-3} - 0.625 \times 10^{-3})$ 0 $0.625 \times 10^{-3}$ $0.625 \times 10^{-3}$

The pH of the solution is then calculated as follows:

$pH = pKa + log \dfrac{[base]} {[acid]}$

Recall that:

pKa for $HC_2H_3O_2=4.74$

Then; we replace the concentration with the number of moles since the volume of acid and base are equal

∴

$pH = 4.74 + log \dfrac{0.625 \times 10^{-3}}{1.475 \times 10^{-3}}$

pH = 4.37

Thus, the pH of the solution after the addition of 5.0 mL of NaOH = 4.37

We need to understand that the pH at 1/2 of the equivalence point is equal to the concentration of the base and the acid.

Therefore;

pH = pKa = 4.74

e) pH at the equivalence point.

Here, the pH of the solution is the result of the reaction in the $(C_2H_3O^-_2)$ with $H_2O$

The total volume(V) of the solution = V(acid) + V(of the base added to reach equivalence point)

The total volume(V) of the solution = 20.0 mL + 16.8 mL

The total volume(V) of the solution = 36.8 mL

Concentration of $(C_2H_3O^-_2)$ = moles/volume

= $\dfrac{2.1 \times 10^{-3} \ moles}{0.0368 \ L}$

= 0.0571 M

Now, using the ICE table to determine the concentration of $H_3O^+$ ;

$C_2H_5O^-_2 _{(aq)} + H_2O_{(l)} \to HC_2H_3O_2_{(aq)} + OH^-_{(aq)}$

I 0.0571 0 0

C -x +x +x

E 0.0571 - x x x

Recall that the Ka for $HC_2H_3O_2$ = $1.8 \times 10^{-5}$

$K_b = \dfrac{K_w}{K_a} = \dfrac{1.0\times 10^{-14}}{1.8 \times 10^{-5} } \\ \\ K_b = 5.6 \times 10^{-10}$

$k_b = \dfrac{[ HC_2H_3O_2] [OH^-]}{[C_2H_3O^-_2]}$

$5.6 \times 10^{-10} = \dfrac{x *x }{0.0571 -x}$

$x = [OH^-] = 5.6 \times 10^{-6} \ M$

$[H_3O^+] = \dfrac{1.0 \times 10^{-14} }{5.6 \times 10^{-6} }$

$[H_3O^+] =1.77 \times 10^{-9}$

$pH =-log [H_3O^+] \\ \\ pH =-log (1.77 \times 10^{-9}) \\ \\ \mathbf{pH = 8.75 }$

Hence, the pH of the solution at equivalence point = 8.75

f) The pH after 5.09 mL base is added beyond (E) point.

$HC_2 H_3 O_2 _{(aq)} + NaOH _{(aq)} \to NaC_2H_3O_2_{(aq)} + H_2O{ (l)}$

Before 0.0021 0.002725 0

After 0 0.000625 0.0021

$[OH^-] = \dfrac{0.000625 \ moles}{(0.02 + 0.0218 ) \ L}$

$[OH^-] = \dfrac{0.000625 \ moles}{0.0418 \ L}$

$[OH^-] = 0.0149 \ M$

From above; we can determine the concentration of $H_3O^+$ by using the following method:

$[H_3O^+] = \dfrac{1.0 \times 10^{-14} }{0.0149}$

$[H_3O^+] = 6.7 \times 10^{-13}$

$pH = - log [H_3O^+]$

$pH = -log (6.7 \times 10^{-13} )$

pH = 12.17

Finally, the pH of the solution after adding 5.0 mL of NaOH beyond (E) point = 12.17
