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-}

As a "rule of thumb" there are 20 drops of a liquid in a mL. Using this estimate and a density of 1.685, how many moles are in 2
arlik [135]

Answer:

0.020 mol

Explanation:

Let's consider the following relations:

  • 20 drops of a liquid have a volume of 1 mL.
  • The density of the solution is 1.685 g/mL, that is, each milliliter of solution has a mass of 1.685 g of solution.
  • There are 85 g of phosphoric acid per 100 grams of solution (85 % by weight).
  • The molar mass of phosphoric acid is 97.99 g/mol

With these relations, we can calculate the moles of phosphoric acid in 27 drops of solution.

27drop \times \frac{1mL}{20drop} \times \frac{1.685gSolution}{1mL} \times \frac{85gH_3PO_4}{100gSolution} \times \frac{1molH_3PO_4}{97.99gH_3PO_4} = 0.020 mol
