<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

The correct structure of phosphoric acid is A.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

P should form five covalent bonds. In this strcuture P form three single bond with 3-hydroxyl groups while one single bondformed with oxygen. As oxygen will form two bonds , it carry negative charge, while P should form five bond but here it is forming 4 bonds due to this P has positive charge but overall structure contain neutral charge due to cancellation of positive and negative charges. Beside this, there are 3 H, Four O and One P according to formula H3PO4.

EXTRA POINTSSS 1. A solution at 25 degrees Celsius is 1.0 × 10–5 M H3O+. What is the concentration of OH– in this solution?

AlekseyPX

Answer:

Concentration of OH⁻:

1.0 × 10⁻⁹ M.

Explanation:

The following equilibrium goes on in aqueous solutions:

$\text{H}_2\text{O}\;(l)\rightleftharpoons \text{H}^{+}\;(aq) + \text{OH}^{-}\;(aq)$ .

The equilibrium constant for this reaction is called the self-ionization constant of water:

$K_w = [\text{H}^{+}]\cdot[\text{OH}^{-}]$ .

Note that water isn't part of this constant.

The value of $K_w$ at 25 °C is $10^{-14}$ . How to memorize this value?

The pH of pure water at 25 °C is 7.
$[\text{H}^{+}] = 10^{-\text{pH}} = 10^{-7}\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$
However, $[\text{OH}^{-}] = [\text{H}^{+}]=10^{-7}\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ for pure water.
As a result, $K_w = [\text{H}^{+}] \cdot[\text{OH}^{-}] = (10^{-7})^{2} = 10^{-14}$ at 25 °C.

Back to this question. $[\text{H}^{+}]$ is given. 25 °C implies that $K_w = 10^{-14}$ . As a result,

$\displaystyle [\text{OH}^{-}] = \frac{K_w}{[\text{H}^{+}]} = \frac{10^{-14}}{1.0\times 10^{-5}} = 10^{-9} \;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ .

ethanol is a common laboratory solvent and has a density of 0.789 g/mL. what is the mass, in grams, of 151 mL of ethanol

natta225 [31]

<em>V = 151 mL = 151 cm³</em>
<em>d = 0,789 g/mL = 0,789 g/cm³</em>

d = m/V
m = d×V
m = 0,789×151

The density of lead is 11.3g/cm^3 and the density of chromium is 7.14g/cm^3. If we have one gram of each metal, what is the rati

Lady bird [3.3K]

The ratio of the volume of lead to the volume of chromium is 22 : 35

Density is simply defined as the mass of a substance per unit volume of the substance.

<h3>Density = mass / volume </h3>

To solve the question given above, we'll begin by calculating the volume of lead and chromium. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of lead = 1 g

Density of lead = 11.3 g/cm³

<h3>Volume of lead =? </h3>

Density = mass /volume

11.3 = 1 / Volume

Cross multiply

11.3 × Volume = 1

Divide both side by 11.3

Volume = 1 / 11.3

<h3>Volume of lead = 0.088 cm³</h3>

<h3>For Chromium:</h3>

Mass of chromium = 1 g

Density of chromium = 7.14 g/cm³

<h3>Volume of chromium =? </h3>

Density = mass /volume

7.14 = 1 / Volume

Cross multiply

7.14 × Volume = 1

Divide both side by 7.14

Volume = 1 / 7.14

<h3>Volume of chromium = 0.14 cm³</h3>

Finally, we shall determine the ratio of the volume of lead to the volume chromium. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume of lead = 0.088 cm³

Volume of chromium = 0.14 cm³

<h3>Ratio of the volume of lead to chromium =? </h3>

Ratio = Volume of lead / Volume of chromium

Ratio = 0.088 / 0.14

Ratio = 22 / 35

<h3>Ratio = 22 : 35</h3>

Therefore, the ratio of the volume of lead to the volume chromium is 22 : 35
