Answer:
12.99
Explanation:
<em>A chemist dissolves 716. mg of pure potassium hydroxide in enough water to make up 130. mL of solution. Calculate the pH of the solution. (The temperature of the solution is 25 °C.) Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em>
Step 1: Given data
- Mass of KOH: 716. mg (0.716 g)
- Volume of the solution: 130. mL (0.130 L)
Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 0.716 g of KOH
The molar mass of KOH is 56.11 g/mol.
0.716 g × 1 mol/56.11 g = 0.0128 mol
Step 3: Calculate the molar concentration of KOH
[KOH] = 0.0128 mol/0.130 L = 0.0985 M
Step 4: Write the ionization reaction of KOH
KOH(aq) ⇒ K⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)
The molar ratio of KOH to OH⁻is 1:1. Then, [OH⁻] = 0.0985 M
Step 5: Calculate the pOH
We will use the following expression.
pOH = -log [OH⁻] = -log 0.0985 = 1.01
Step 6: Calculate the pH
We will use the following expression.
pH + pOH = 14
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 -1.01 = 12.99
Molality
is one way of expressing concentration of a solute in a solution. It is expressed
as the mole of solute per kilogram of the solvent. To calculate for the
molality of the given solution, we need to convert the mass of solute into
moles and divide it to the mass of the solvent.

Moles of HCl = 5.5 g HCl ( 1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl ) = 0.1509 mol HCl</span>
<span>
Molality = 0.1509 mol HCl / 200 g C2H6O ( 1 kg / 1000 g )
Molality
= 0.7543 mol / kg</span>
<span>The concentration in molality of hcl in a solution that is prepared by dissolving 5.5 g of hcl in 200.0 g of c2h6o is
0.7453 molal.</span>
It is called the periodic table
