<u>Answer:</u> No crystals of potassium sulfate will be seen at 0°C for the given amount.
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given:
Mass of potassium nitrate = 47.6 g
Mass of potassium sulfate = 8.4 g
Mass of water = 130. g
Solubility of potassium sulfate in water at 0°C = 7.4 g/100 g
This means that 7.4 grams of potassium sulfate is soluble in 100 grams of water
Applying unitary method:
In 100 grams of water, the amount of potassium sulfate dissolved is 7.4 grams
So, in 130 grams of water, the amount of potassium sulfate dissolved will be
As, the soluble amount is greater than the given amount of potassium sulfate
This means that, all of potassium sulfate will be dissolved.
Hence, no crystals of potassium sulfate will be seen at 0°C for the given amount.
7.86 is the pOH of water at this temperature of 100 degrees celsius.
Option E is the right answer.
Explanation:
Data given:
Kw = 51.3 x
pOH = ?
we know that pure water is neutral and will have pH pf 7.
The equation for relation between Kw and H+ and OH- ion is given by:
Kw = [H+] [OH-}
here the concentration of H+ ion and OH- ion is equal
so, [H+]= [OH-]
Putting the values in the equation of Kw
pKw = -log[Kw]
pKw = -log [51.3 x ]
pKw = 12.28
since H+ ion OH ion concentration is equal the pH of water is half i.e. 6.14
Now, pOH is calculated by using the equation:
14 = pOH + pH
14- 6.14 = pOH
pOH = 7.86
