Answer : The mass of potassium hypochlorite is, 4.1 grams.

Explanation : Given,

pH = 10.20

Volume of water = 4.50\times 10^2ml=0.45L

The decomposition of KClO  will be :

KClO\rightarrow K^++ClO^-

Now the further reaction with water (H_2O) to give,

ClO^-+H_2O\rightarrow HClO+OH^-

First we have to calculate the pOH.

pH+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-pH\\\\pOH=14-10.20=3.8

Now we have to calculate the OH^- concentration.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

3.8=-\log [OH^-]

[OH^-]=1.58\times 10^{-4}M

Now we have to calculate the base dissociation constant.

Formula used : K_b=\frac{K_w}{K_a}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get :

K_b=\frac{1.0\times 10^{-14}}{4.0\times 10^{-8}}=2.5\times 10^{-7}

Now we have to calculate the concentration of ClO^-.

The equilibrium constant expression of the reaction  is:

K_b=\frac{[OH^-][HClO]}{[ClO^-]}

As we know that, [OH^-]=[HClO]=1.58\times 10^{-4}M

2.5\times 10^{-7}=\frac{(1.58\times 10^{-4})^2}{[ClO^-]}

[ClO^-]=0.0999M

Now we have to calculate the moles of ClO^-.

\text{Moles of }ClO^-=\text{Molarity of }ClO^-\times \text{Volume of solution}

\text{Moles of }ClO^-=0.0999mole/L\times 0.45L=0.0449mole

As we know that, the number of moles of ClO^- are equal to the number of moles of KClO.

So, the number of moles of KClO = 0.0449 mole

Now we have to calculate the mass of KClO.

\text{Mass of }KClO=\text{Moles of }KClO\times \text{Molar mass of }KClO

\text{Mass of }KClO=0.0449mole\times 90.6g/mole=4.07g\approx 4.1g

Therefore, the mass of potassium hypochlorite is, 4.1 grams.

Give one chemical property of soda ash.
Elenna [48]
<span>Soda ash is sodium carbonate, Na2CO3. One chemical property of this compound is its basicity, which is measured by the pKb. The pKb for sodium carbonate is 3.67. It is the result of the dissociation of Na2CO3 in water: Na2CO3 + H2O = Na HCO3 + Na (+) + OH(-). This pKb means that it is a highly basic compound. pKb = log { 1 / [OH-] }, so pKb is a measure of the concentrations of OH- ions, which is the basiciity of the compound. </span>

gladu [14]
Dispersion forces or London dispersion forces are collectively referred to as Van der Waals forces. These forces are temporary and arise from the relative position of electrons in one atom to another. If the electrons become distributed in an asymmetrical manner, the negative charge is concentrated at one end of the particle and a positive charge is concentrated at the other. These forces are also called induced dipole-induced dipole attraction.
