Why is acid base titration a useful technique in chemistry

1 answer:

7 0

Answer: Titration is particularly useful if we want to find out the amount or concentration of a known acid or base in a given sample.

Explanation: Suppose you have just been handed a beaker containing a fixed volume of HCL solution. If you simply just know the volume of the solution, you can titrate it against a reagent (base) to figure out the exact concentration of the solution (also known as molarity)

The solution is placed in a flask for titration and a minute amount of indicator is then added into the flask. The reagent (base) is placed in a burette and slowly added to the solution and indicator mixture. The amount of reagent used is recorded when the indicator causes a change in the color of the solution. Using Stoichiometry, we are then able to calculate the concentration and moles of the HCL solution used up in the reaction.

Alveoli are tiny sacs of air in the lungs. Their average diameter is 4.50 × 10−5 m. Calculate the uncertainty in the velocity of

Arisa [49]

Answer: The uncertainty in the velocity of oxygen molecule is $4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$

Explanation:

The diameter of the molecule will be equal to the uncertainty in position.

The equation representing Heisenberg's uncertainty principle follows:

$\Delta x.\Delta p=\frac{h}{2\pi}$

where,

$\Delta x$ = uncertainty in position = d = $4.50\times 10^{-5}m$

$\Delta p$ = uncertainty in momentum = $m\Delta v$

m = mass of oxygen molecule = $5.30\times 10^{-26}kg$

h = Planck's constant = $6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s^2$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$4.50\times 10^{-5}m\times 5.30\times 10^{-26}kg\times \Delta v=\frac{6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s}{2\times 3.14}\\\\\Delta v=\frac{6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s^2}{2\times 3.14\times 4.50\times 10^{-5}m\times 5.30\times 10^{-26}kg}=4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$

Hence, the uncertainty in the velocity of oxygen molecule is $4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$

Which one of the following is most likely to be an ionic compound? SO2

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Ionic compounds generally form between elements that are metals and elements that are nonmetals. For example, the metal calcium (Ca) and the nonmetal chlorine (Cl) form the ionic compound calcium chloride (CaCl2). In this compound, there are two negative chloride ions for each positive calcium ion

What was done to the linear parent function, f(x) = x, to get the function g(x) = 1/6 x

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Vertically Shrunk by a factor of 1/6

Explanation:

Parent Formula: f(x) = a(bx - c) + d

a - vertical shrink/stretch and x-reflections

b - horizontal shrink/stretch and y-reflections

c - horizontal movement left/right

d - vertical movement up/down

Since we are only modifying a, we are dealing with vertical shrink/stretch:

Since a < 1 (1/6 < 1), we are dealing with a vertical shrink of 1/6.

Since a > 0 (1/6 > 0), we do not have a reflection over the x-axis.

Which statement is NOT a property of unsaturated hydrocarbons?

Ray Of Light [21]

I would pick "Unsaturated hydrocarbons are very reactive." This is because while unsaturated hydrocarbons are indeed more reactive than their saturated counterparts, they still do require some energy, called activation energy, to be overcome before the reactions occur.
