The six most common elements inliving things are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur. Atoms of these elementscombine and form thousands of large molecules. These large molecules make up the structures of cells and carry out many processes essential to life.

Consider the redox reaction below.

elixir [45]

Explanation:

Fe²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Fe

In a reduction half, the oxidizing agent is getting reduced. Such ion is donating electrons.

In a reduction process:

there is removal of oxygen from a specie
addition of hydrogen to a specie
gain of electron by an atom
decrease in oxidation number of an atom
decrease in number of electronegative atoms surrounding the element in changing from reactants to products.

A student is asked to standardize a solution of potassium hydroxide. He weighs out 1.08 g potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHC8H4O4

natka813 [3]

Answer:

A. 0.143 M

B. 0.0523 M

Explanation:

Let's consider the neutralization reaction between potassium hydroxide and potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP).

KOH + KHC₈H₄O₄ → H₂O + K₂C₈H₄O₄

The molar mass of KHP is 204.22 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 1.08 g are:

1.08 g × (1 mol/204.22 g) = 5.28 × 10⁻³ mol

The molar ratio of KOH to KHC₈H₄O₄ is 1:1. The reacting moles of KOH are 5.28 × 10⁻³ moles.

5.28 × 10⁻³ moles of KOH occupy a volume of 36.8 mL. The molarity of the KOH solution is:

M = 5.28 × 10⁻³ mol / 0.0368 L = 0.143 M

Let's consider the neutralization of potassium hydroxide and perchloric acid.

KOH + HClO₄ → KClO₄ + H₂O

When the molar ratio of acid (A) to base (B) is 1:1, we can use the following expression.

$M_{A} \times V_{A} = M_{B} \times V_{B}\\M_{A} = \frac{M_{B} \times V_{B}}{V_{A}} \\M_{A} = \frac{0.143 M \times 10.1mL}{27.6mL}\\M_{A} =0.0523 M$
