Calculate the pH of a solution with a [H 3 O + ]=5.6x10 -9 M.

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

8.3

Explanation:

pH is the measure of the H+ or H30 (they r the same thing) ions in a solution. it is equal to -log[H+]. [H+]= Molar concentration of H+ ions.

How many calories of heat were added to 347.9 g of water to raise its temperature from 25oC to 55oC?

saw5 [17]

Answer:

10437calories

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question given:

M = 347.9g

C = 4.2J/g°C

T1 = 25°C

T2 = 55°C

ΔT = 55 — 25 = 30°C

Q =?

Q = MCΔT

Q = 347.9 x 4.2 x 30

Q = 43835.4J

Converting this to calories, we obtained the following:

4.2J = 1 calorie

43835.4J = 43835.4/ 4.2 = 10437calories

An unknown compound contains 38.7 % calcium, 19.9 % phosphorus and 41.2 % oxygen. what is the empirical formula of this compound

Softa [21]

Answer: Ca3(PO4)2

Explanation:

We assume that the sample is 100.0 g.

The sample contains 38.7 g of Ca, 19.9 g of P, and 41.2 g of O as the proportions show.

Then we can calculate the number of moles of each component (n = m/atomic mass).

The number of moles of Ca = 38.7/40.078 = 0.96 mol.

The number of moles of P = 19.9/30.97 = 0.64 mol.

The number of moles of O = 41.2/15.99 = 2.75 mol.

Now, we can get the molar ratios of different components (Ca, P, and O) in the sample by dividing the number of moles of each component by the lower number of moles, that we should divide the number of moles by (0.64).

Ca: P: O = (0.96/0.64) : (0.64/0.64) : (2.75/0.64) = 1.5 : 1 : 4.

To avoid the fraction of the ratios, we can multiply all ratios by 2.0.

Now, the ratio of Ca : P : O will be 3 : 2 : 8.

That main the empirical formula of the compound is Ca3P2O8 which can be expressed as calcium phosphate (Ca3(PO4)2).
