Describe the reaction of a weak acid and a strong base. What would the pH of the solution be? I will mark brainliest, thanks :)

Because the base is strong, and the acid is weak, the final solution will have a pH greater than seven. This is because the base disassociates more than the acid does. There are more OH- ions than H+ ions.

They would combine to form a salt + water. The pH of the solution would be slightly alkaline ( > 7).

Calculate and record the expected mass of benzoic acid required to react with 20.00 ml of a 0.100 m sodium hydroxide solution. r

Marina CMI [18]

Benzoic acid reacts with sodium hydroxide based on the equation shown in the attached picture.

It is clear that the ration between the benzoic acid and the sodium hydroxide is 1:1 in this reaction.

So, to answer this question, we will calculate the number of moles of sodium hydroxide used, equate it to the number of moles of benzoic acid and then calculate the mass of the calculated number of moles.

molarity = number of moles of solute / liter of solvent
0.1 = number of moles of sodium hydroxide / 0.02 liters
number of moles of sodium hydroxide = 0.002 moles

Therefore, number of moles of benzoic acid is also 0.002 moles
molar mass of benzoic acid = 122.12 grams

Therefore, the required mass of benzoic acid = 0.002 x 122.12
= 0.2444 moles

What is the only part of an atom that cannot change (either protons, neutrons, or electrons)?

d1i1m1o1n [39]

The number of protons never changes in an atom. More electrons means a negative charge and fewer means a positive charge. Once an atom has an electrical charge it is called an ion. In an ion the atomic number and atomic mass do not change from the original.

Coal power plants burn large amounts of coal, c(s), in an o 2 (g) atmosphere to generate electricity. the chemical reaction re

charle [14.2K]

Answer is: volume of carbon dioxide is 1,84·10⁸ l.
Chemical reaction: C + O₂ → CO₂.
m(C) = 100 t · 1000 kg/t = 100000 kg
m(C) = 100000 kg · 1000 g/kg = 10⁸ g.
n(C) = m(C) ÷ M(C).
n(C) = 10⁸ g ÷ 12 g/mol.
n(C) = 8,33·10⁶ mol.
From chemical reaction: n(C) . n(CO₂) = 1 : 1.
n(CO₂) = 8,33·10⁶ mol.
m(CO₂) = 8,33·10⁶ mol · 44 g/mol.
m(CO₂) = 3,66·10⁸ = 3,66·10⁵ kg.
V(CO₂) = 3,66·10⁵ kg ÷ 1,98 kg/m³ = 1,84·10⁵ m³.
V(CO₂) = 1,84·10⁵ m³ · 1000 l/m³ = 1,84·10⁸ l.

What is the correct ionic formula when mg2+ and p3− react?

Mumz [18]

Answer: Ionic formula will be $Mg_3P_2$ .

Explanation: $Mg^{2+}$ and $P^{3-}$ ions will form a ionic compound. Ionic compounds have both metals and non-metals.

Here $Mg^{2+}$ is a metal and $P^{3-}$ is a non-metal.

The net charge on any compound must be 0.

So we need 2 phosphate ions to balance the charge on $Mg^{2+}$ ions. Similarly we need 3 Magnesium ions to balance the charge on $P^{3-}$ ions.

Criss-crossing the charges, we will get the formula as $Mg_3P_2$

Criss-crossing is shown in the image below.

The density of liquid mercury is 13.69 g/cm^3. How many atoms of mercury are in a 15.0 cm^3 sample? Use "E" for "x10" and use si

balu736 [363]

The formula is m = D x V
D = 13.69 g/cm^3.
V = 15.0 cm^3
the mass of the liquid mercury is m= 13.69 g/cm^3 x 15.0 cm^3 = 195g
the molar mass of Hg is 200,
1 mole of Hg = 200g Hg, so #mole of Hg= 195 / 200 = 0.97 mol
but we know that
1 mole = 6.022 E23 atoms
0.97 mole=?

6.022 E23 atoms x 0.97 / 1 mole = 5.84 E23 atoms
