Elena L [17]3 years ago
5 0

Sugar, sucrose (C12H22O11: a disaccharide, composed of the two monosaccharides: glucose and fructose), is odorless, that is, it lacks odor. When heated a phase change occurs resulting in melting of a thick syrup.

Determine the pH of the following base solutions. (Assume that all solutions are at 25°C and the ion-product constant of water,
alexira [117]

Answer:

a) The pH of the solution is 12.13.

b) The pH of the solution is 12.17.

Explanation:

Ionic product of water =K_w=1.01\times 10^-{14}

K_w=[H^+][OH^-]

1.01\times 10^-{14}=[H^+][OH^-]

Taking negative logarithm on both sides:

-\log[1.01\times 10^-{14}]=(-\log [H^+])+(-\log [OH^-])

The pH is the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration in solution.

The pOH is the negative logarithm of hydroxide ion concentration in solution.

13.99=pH+pOH

a) 1.39\times 10^{-2} M of NaOH.

Concentration of hydroxide ions:

NaOH(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)

So, [OH^-]=1\times [NaOH]=1\times 1.39\times 10^{-2} M=1.39\times 10^{-2} M

pOH=-\log[1.39\times 10^{-2} M]=1.86

13.99=pH+pOH

13.99=pH+1.86

pH=13.99-1.86=12.13

b) 0.0051 M of NaOH.

Concentration of hydroxide ions:

Al(OH)_3(aq)\rightarrow Al^{3+}(aq)+3OH^-(aq)

So, [OH^-]=3\times [Al(OH)_3]=3\times 0.0051 M=0.0153 M

pOH=-\log[0.0153 M]=1.82

13.99=pH+pOH

13.99=pH+1.82

pH=13.99-1.82=12.17

Answer:

The bowling ball has more kinetic energy than the tennis ball

Explanation:

Using the formula 1/2 mass × acceleration we found that the tennis ball had a kinetic energy of 0.75 while the bowling ball had a kinetic energy of 10.5 hence the bowling ball has the ability to do more work
