Utilizing dimensional analysis find the number of inches in a kilometer given that 1 inch equals 2.54 cm

1 answer:

4 0

To solve this problem, separate it into chunks that you know. You know that there are 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch. You know that there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter. You know that there are 1000 meters in a kilometer. Therefore, we'll convert in this order: 1) from kilometers to meters, 2) from meters to centimeters, and 3) from centimeters to inches.
1) 1km × 1000m/1km
= 1000m
2) 1000m × 100cm/1m
= 100000cm
3) 100000cm × 1in/2.54cm
≈ 39370in
So, there are approximately 39370 inches in a kilometer.

A 50.0 mL solution of 0.141 M KOH is titrated with 0.282 M HCl . Calculate the pH of the solution after the addition of each of

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

pH =1 2.84

Explanation:

First we have to start with the reaction between HCl and KOH:

$HCl~+~KOH->~H_2O~+~KCl$

Now for example, we can use a volume of 10 mL of HCl. So, we can calculate the moles using the molarity equation:

$M=\frac{mol}{L}$

We know that $10mL=0.01L$ and we have the concentration of the HCl $0.282M$ , when we plug the values into the equation we got:

$0.282M=\frac{mol}{0.01L}$

$mol=0.282*0.01$

$mol=0.00282$

We can do the same for the KOH values ( $50mL=0.05L$ and $0.141M$ ).

$0.141M=\frac{mol}{0.05L}$

$mol=0.141*0.05$

$mol=0.00705$

So, we have so far 0.00282 mol of HCl and 0.00705 mol of KOH. If we check the reaction we have a molar ratio 1:1, therefore if we have 0.00282 mol of HCl we will need 0.00282 mol of KOH, so we will have an excess of KOH. This excess can be calculated if we substract the amount of moles:

$0.00705-0.00282=0.00423mol~of~KOH$

Now, if we want to calculate the pH value we will need a concentration, in this case KOH is in excess, so we have to calculate the concentration of KOH. For this, we already have the moles of KOH that remains left, now we need the total volume:

$Total~volume=50mL+10mL=60mL$

$60mL=0.06L$

Now we can calculate the concentration:

$M=\frac{0.00423mol}{0.06L}$

$M=0.0705$

Now, we can calculate the pOH (to calculate the pH), so:

$pOH=-Log(0.0705)$

$pOH=1.15$

Now we can calculate the pH value:

$14=~pH~+~pOH$

$pH=14-1.15=12.84$
