Answer:
pH = 12.33
Explanation:
Lets call HA = butanoic acid and A⁻ butanoic acid and its conjugate base butanoate respectively.
The titration reaction is
HA + KOH ---------------------------- A⁻ + H₂O + K⁺
number of moles of HA : 118.3 ml/1000ml/L x 0.3500 mol/L = 0.041 mol HA
number of moles of OH : 115.4 mL/1000ml/L x 0.400 mol/L = 0.046 mol A⁻
therefore the weak acid will be completely consumed and what we have is the unreacted strong base KOH which will drive the pH of the solution since the contribution of the conjugate base is negligible.
n unreacted KOH = 0.046 - 0.041 = 0.005 mol KOH
pOH = - log (KOH)
M KOH = 0.005 mol / (0.118.3 +0.1154)L = 0.0021 M
pOH = - log (0.0021) = 1.66
pH = 14 - 1.96 = 12.33
Note: It is a mistake to ask for the pH of the <u>acid solutio</u>n since as the above calculation shows we have a basic solution the moment all the acid has been consumed.
Answer:
weigh it and divide the weight by the molecular weight. :) good luck!!
Explanation:
Answer:
Density by giving the object it's weight/volume. State of matter by giving its chemical substances and physical shape.
Explanation:
State of matter, (solid, liquid, or a gas) determines the main physical property of a substance. If it's a liquid, it would have an indefinite shape/physical appearance. If the object is a solid than the shape would have a definite shape/physical appearance. Density is defined as mass per volume which means the weight of an object divided by the volume determines the density of the object. You would have the volume (the amount of space an object takes up) and the mass (weight of the object) if you have the objects density.
To conclude, both density and the objects state of matter determine the physical properties of a substance. "Density the weight and volume, and the state of matter is the shape/chemical properties of the substance."
Hope this helps.
Answer:
17202.6 years
Explanation:
Activity of the living sample (Ao) = 160 counts per minute
Activity of the wood sample (A) = 20 counts per minute
Half life of carbon-14 = 5730 years
t= age of the artifact
From;
0.693/t1/2= 2.303/t log Ao/A
Then;
0.693/ 5730= 2.303/t log Ao/A
Substituting values;
0.693/5730= 2.303/t log (160/20)
Then we obtain;
1.209×10^-4 = 2.0798/t
t= 2.0798/1.209×10^-4
Thus;
t= 17202.6 years
Therefore the artifact is 17202.6 years old.
