Answer: Sodium sulfate and Ammonium sulfate could not be used for this purpose.

Explanation:

An acidic solution will show a pH in the range of 0 - 6.9. A basic solution show a pH in the range of 7.1 - 14. A neutral solution will show a pH of 7.

A salt is acidic, when it is formed from the combination of strong acid and weak base. A salt is basic, when it is formed from the combination of weak acid and strong base. A salt is neutral, when it is formed from the combination of weak acid and weak base or strong acid and strong base.

a. Sodium carbonate : is formed by the combination of strong base NaOH and a weak acid H_2CO_3[, thus forms a basic solution.

Na_2CO_3\rightarrow 2Na^++CO_3^{2-}

b. Sodium sulfate:  is formed by the combination of strong base NaOH and a strong acid H_2SO_4[, thus forms a neutral solution.

Na_2SO_4\rightarrow 2Na^++SO_4^{2-}

c. Ammonium sulfate:  is formed by the combination of weak base NH_4OH and a strong acid H_2SO_4[, thus forms a acidic solution.

(NH_4)_2SO_4\rightarrow 2NH_4^++SO_4^{2-}

d. Sodium phosphate:  is formed by the combination of strong base NaOH and a weak acid H_3PO_4[, thus forms a basic solution.

Na_3PO_4\rightarrow 3Na^++PO_4^{3-}

How much water will be required to dissolve 0.3g of benzoic acid at 95oC given that the solubility of BA at 95oC is 68.0g/L?
Ainat [17]
Write as a proportion, showing the relationship of both given information:
68.0g 0.3g
---------- = -----------
1L x ( your answer)

Cross multiply: 68.0g× X = 0.3g × 1L
68.0g (X)= 0.3g/L
Solve for X by dividing both sides by 68.0 g
68.0g (X) = 0.3g/L
------------- ------------------
68.0g 68.0g

Then enter into calculator 0.3/68 and that will be your solution. Make sure you round up.

The pH of a basic solution is 9.77. What is [OH⁻]?
uysha [10]

The  [OH⁻] of the solution is 5.37×10⁵ M.

<h3 /><h3>What is pOH?</h3>

This is the negative logarithm to base 10 of hydroxy ion [OH⁻] concentration.

To calculate the hydroxy ion [OH⁻] concentration we use the formula below.

Note:

  • pH+pOH = 14
  • pOH = 14-pH
  • pOH = 14-9.77
  • pOH = 4.27

Formula:

  • [OH⁻] = 1/10^{pOH}................. Equation 1

Given:

  • pOH = 4.27

Substitute the value into equation 1

  • [OH⁻] = 1/10^{4.27}
  • [OH⁻]  = 5.37×10⁵

Hence, The [OH⁻] of the solution is 5.37×10⁵ M.
