Answer:

The answer to your question is: 118 ml of KOH

Explanation:

Data

volume KOH = ?

[KOH] = 0.985 M

volume HNO3 = 50 ml = 0.05 l

[HNO3] = 2.32 M

Reaction

KOH + HNO3 ⇒ KNO3 + H2O

Formula

Molarity = moles / volume

Process

moles of HNO3 = 2.32 x 0.05 l

= 0.116

From the equation we know that the proportion KOH : HNO3 = 1 : 1

then,

1 mol of KOH ---------------- 1 mol of HNO3

x --------------- 0.116 mol of HNO3

x = (0.116 x 1)/ 1

x = 0.116 moles of KOH

Now, calculate volume of KOH

Volume of KOH = moles of KOH / molarity

Volume of KOH = 0.116 / 0.985

= 0.118 l of KOH or 118 ml

An experiment shows that a 250 ?ml gas sample has a mass of 0.430 g at a pressure of 736 mmhg and a temperature of 28 ?c.

dmitriy555 [2]

What we're looking for here is the gas sample's molar mass given its mass, pressure, volume, and temperature. Recalling the gas law, we have

$PV = nRT$ or
$n = \frac{PV}{RT}$

where R is 0.08206 L atm / mol K, P is the given pressure, T is the temperature, and V is the volume.

Before applying the values given, it is important to make sure that they are to be converted to have consistent units with that of R.

Thus, we have

P = 736/ 729 = 0.968 atm
T = 28 + 273.15 = 301.15 K
V = 250/1000 = 0.250 L

Now, applying these converted values into the gas law, we have

$n = \frac{(0.968 atm)(0.250 L)}{(0.08206 L.atm/mol.K)(301.15 K)}$
$n = 0.00979 moles$

Given that the mass of the sample is 0.430 g, we have

$molar mass = \frac{mass}{number of moles}$
$molar mass = \frac{0.430}{0.00979} = 43.9$

Thus, the gas sample has a molar mass of 43.9 g/mol.

Which argument best explains the charge of an atomic nucleus?

xeze [42]

The answer is "An atomic nucleus is positively charged because it is composed of protons". An atomic nucleus actually contains nucleons which are made up of both protons and neutrons. Since neutrons are neutral or have no charge, the charge of an atomic nucleus mainly relies on the positive charge of the protons.

What is the function of a Mitochondrion

gladu [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Function. The mitochondrion is the site of ATP synthesis for the cell. The number of mitochondria found in a cell are therefore a good indicator of the cell's rate of metabolic activity; cells which are very metabolically active, such as hepatocytes, will have many mitochondria.
