Answer:

9.3

Explanation:

This is long and complicated so get ready

We are going to use the conjugate base of carbonic acid with water to make carbonic acid and OH- (Na is simply a spectator ion and is irrelavent here)

Let the conjugate base be A- and Carbonic acid be HA

A- + H20 ⇄ HA + OH-

To find the concentration of A- we must find the concentration of the reactants given. We know this will be equal because it is a strong base and all of it disassociates.

to get moles of acid we take the concentration and multiply by liters to cancel

.2653 x .150 = .039795 mol HA

Because it is at equivalence point we know the moles will be equal. We are given the concentration so we only have to solve for liters

We plug it into the equation and found: .181 L

Now use moles and combined volums to fins concentrarion which is .120 M

Now plug that use the Ka converted to Kb to find the cincentrations of HA and OH-

Ka is (10^-3.60) = 2.4E-4

Kb x Ka is 10^-14

Kb = 3.98E-11

Now we know Kb = [HA] [OH] / [A-]

Solve for this through algebra by using x for the values you dont know

youll find x^2 = 3.3E-10

X = 1.8 E -5

this is the OH- concentration

-log [oh] = pOH

pOH = 4.73

We know 14-pOH = ph so pH= 9.3

A pupil adds 5 cm of 12 mol.dm sulphuric acids to make a 250 cmº solution. Calculate the
klemol [59]

Answer:

0.500 mol/dm³

Explanation:

Using the formula below;

CaVa = CbVb

Where;

Ca = concentration of acid (mol/dm³)

Cb = concentration of base (mol/dm³)

Va = volume of acid (cm³)

Vb = volume of base (cm³)

In accordance to the information provided in this question is;

Va = 5cm³

Vb = 250 cm³

Ca = 12 mol/dm³

Cb = ?

Using CaVa = CbVb

12 × 5 = Cb × 250

60 = 120Cb

Cb = 60/120

Cb = 0.500 mol/dm³

What is the volume of an object with a density of 2.6 g/cm³ and a mass of 30.5g?
inessss [21]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>11.73 mL</h2>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

volume =  \frac{mass}{density}

From the question

mass of object = 30.5 g

Density = 2.6 g/cm³

The volume is

volume =  \frac{30.5}{2.6}  \\  = 11.7307692...

We have the final answer as

<h3>11.73 mL</h3>

Hope this helps you
