Answer:

Reducing or increasing the amount of H+ ions / hydronium (H3O+) ions

Explanation:

To reduce the pH (reducing the strength of the acid) can be done by adding a base (including a conjugate base such as bicarbonate ion) which will absorb the H+ ions either through adsorption or reaction.

Adding more H+ decreases the pH of the acid making it stronger. This can be done by adding HCL that will dissociate and increase the H+ ions.

A solution is made by dissolving 4.87 g of potassium nitrate in water to a final volume of 86.4 mL solution. What is the weight/

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

A solution is made by dissolving 4.87 g of potassium nitrate in water to a final volume of 86.4 mL solution. The weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute is :

2.67%

Explanation:

Note : Look at the density of potassium nitrate in water if given in the question.

You are calculating weight /Volume not weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute

Here the weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute is asked : So first convert the VOLUME OF SOLUTION into MASS

Density of potassium nitrate in water KNO3 = 2.11 g/mL

$density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

Density = 2.11 g/mL

Volume of solution = 86.4 mL

$2.11=\frac{mass}{86.4}$

$mass = 2.11\times 86.4$

$mass=182.3grams$

Mass of Solute = 4.87 g

Mass of Solution = 183.2 g

w/w% of the solute =

$= \frac{mass\ of\ solute}{mass\ of\ solution}\times 100$

$=\frac{4.87}{183.2}\times 100$

w/w%=2.67%

The radioisotope phosphorus-32 is used in tracers for measuring phosphorus uptake by plants. The half-life of phosphorus-32 is 1

Harman [31]

Answer:

54 days

Explanation:

We have to use the formula;

0.693/t1/2 =2.303/t log Ao/A

Where;

t1/2= half-life of phosphorus-32= 14.3 days

t= time taken for the activity to fall to 7.34% of its original value

Ao=initial activity of phosphorus-32

A= activity of phosphorus-32 after a time t

Note that;

A=0.0734Ao (the activity of the sample decreased to 7.34% of the activity of the original sample)

Substituting values;

0.693/14.3 = 2.303/t log Ao/0.0734Ao

0.693/14.3 = 2.303/t log 1/0.0734

0.693/14.3 = 2.6/t

0.048=2.6/t

t= 2.6/0.048

t= 54 days
