Answer:

0.0347 moles of hydronium ions

Explanation:

The equation of the neutralization reaction between hydroxide and hydronium ions is given below:

H₃O+ (aq) + OH- (aq) ----> 2 H₂O (l)

From the equation above, 1 mole of hydroxide ions will neutralize one mole hydronium ions.

The moles of hydroxide ions present in 1 teaspoon or 5 mL of antacid product is calculated as follows:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Molar mass of Magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)₂ = 58 g/mol

Molar mass of aluminium hydroxide, Al(OH)₃ = 78 g/mol

Mass of magnesium hydroxide = 450 g = 0.45 g

Mass of aluminium hydroxide = 500 mg = 0.5 g

Moles of magnesium hydroxide = (0.45/58) moles

Moles of aluminium hydroxide = (0.5/78) moles

Equation of the ionization of magnesium hydroxide and aluminium hydroxide is given below:

Mg(OH)₂ (aq) ----> Mg²+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq)

Al(OH)₃ (aq) ---> Al³+ (aq) + 3 OH- (aq)

Number of moles of hydroxide ions present in (0.45/58) moles of magnesium hydroxide = 2 × (0.45/58) moles = 0.0155 moles

Number of moles of hydroxide ions present in (0.5/78) moles of aluminium hydroxide = 3 × (0.5/78) moles = 0.0192 moles

Total moles of hydroxide ions = 0.0155 + 0.0192 = 0.0347 moles hydroxide ions

Therefore, 0.0347 moles of hydroxide ions will neutralize 0.0347 moles of hydronium ions.

Which of the following are acids by the Bronsted-Lowry Definition:

olga55 [171]

ANSWER IS (A)

EXPLANATION:

Bronsted-Lowry concept states that a substance is an acid if it can act as a H+ donor.

HCl in aqueous solution means that HCl is present in water, HCl + H2O --> H3O+ + Cl-. This reaction will take place, the H+ from HCl will be donated to H2O. So, HCl is a bronsted-lowry acid by definition.

However, Methanol (CH3OH) its written that it is liquid, i.e. pure methanol, CH3OH(l). It is both acidic as well as basic. when it is mixed with water then it behaves as an acid.

The last one ammonia in gas phase is also neutral because its not in water. if mixed in water it behaves as a base.

PLA is a bioplastic that is biodegradable. Explain how is is created and why it is biodegradable.

Ratling [72]

Explanation:

<h3>PLA is a polyester produced by fermentation under controlled conditions of a carbohydrate source like corn starch or sugarcane. ... The starch is then mixed with acid or enzymes and heated. This process “breaks” starch into dextrose (D-glucose), or corn sugar.</h3>

<h3>PLA is a polymer made from high levels of polylactic acid molecules. </h3><h3>For PLA to biodegrade, you must break up the polymer by adding </h3><h3>water to it (a process known as hydrolyzing). Heat and moisture are required for hydrolyzing to occur.</h3>

<h3>PLA consists of renewable raw materials and is biodegradable in industrial composting plants. </h3><h3>However, due to the lack of infrastructure, it is difficult to </h3><h3>compost PLA industrially or to</h3><h3> recycle it.</h3>

How does the concentration of a gas in solution change when the partial pressure of the gas above the solution increases?

irakobra [83]

Because the concentration of molecules in the gas phase increases with increasing pressure, the concentration of dissolved gas molecules in the solution at equilibrium is also higher at higher pressures

Ammonia, NH3; ammonium nitrate, NH4NO3; and ammonium hydrogen phosphate, (NH4)2HPO4, are all common fertilizers. Rank the compou

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Ammonia, NH₃ > ammonium nitrate, NH₄NO₃ > ammonium hydrogen phosphate, (NH₄)₂HPO₄

Explanation:

Mass percentage -

Mass percentage of A is given as , the mass of the substance A by mass of the total solution multiplied by 100.

i.e.

mass % A = mass of A / mass of solution * 100

Given,

mass of nitrogen = 14 g/mol

mass of hydrogen = 1 g/mol

mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol

mass of phosphorus = 31 g/mol

1. Ammonia, NH₃

Hence , the mass of solution is calculated as the summation of the mass of the atom * number of atom ,

Hence ,

mass of solution = 1 * 14 g/mol + 3 * 1 g/mol

mass of solution = 17 g/mol

and ,

mass of nitrogen = 14 g/mol

The mass percent of nitrogen can be calculated from using the above formula

mass % N = mass of N / mass of solution * 100

mass % N = 14 g/mol / 17 g/mol * 100

mass % N = 82.35 % .

2. ammonium nitrate, NH₄NO₃

Hence , the mass of solution is calculated as the summation of the mass of the atom * number of atom ,

Hence ,

mass of solution = 2 * 14 g/mol + 4 * 1 g/mol + 3 * 16 g/mol

mass of solution = 80 g/mol

and ,

mass of nitrogen = 14 g/mol

The mass percent of nitrogen can be calculated from using the above formula

mass % N = mass of N / mass of solution * 100

mass % N = 14 g/mol / 80 g/mol * 100

mass % N = 17.50 % .

3. ammonium hydrogen phosphate, (NH₄)₂HPO₄

Hence , the mass of solution is calculated as the summation of the mass of the atom * number of atom ,

Hence ,

mass of solution = 2 * 14 g/mol + 9 * 1 g/mol + 4 * 16 g/mol + 1 * 31 g/mol

mass of solution = 132 g/mol

and ,

mass of nitrogen = 14 g/mol

The mass percent of nitrogen can be calculated from using the above formula

mass % N = mass of N / mass of solution * 100

mass % N = 14 g/mol / 132 g/mol * 100

mass % N = 10.60 % .

Hence , the correct order is -

Ammonia, NH₃ > ammonium nitrate, NH₄NO₃ > ammonium hydrogen phosphate, (NH₄)₂HPO₄
