It takes 26.8 mL of a 0.0700 M NaOH standard solution to neutralize a 250 mL sample of lactic acid (C3H6O3). What mass of lactic

acid was dissolved in the sample?

The complete balanced chemical reaction for this would be:

<span>NaOH  +  C3H6O3  -->  NaC3H5O3  +  H2O</span>

 

So we see that exactly 1 mole of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of lactic acid.

Calculate moles of NaOH.

moles NaOH = 0.07 moles/L * 0.0268 L

moles NaOH = 1.876 x 10^-3 mol

 

So,

moles C3H6O3 = 1.876 x 10^-3 mol

The molar mass of lactic acid is 90.08 g/mol so the mass is:

mass C3H6O3 = (1.876 x 10^-3 mol) * 90.08 g/mol

<span>mass C3H6O3 = 0.169 g</span>

"what is the mole fraction of solute in a 3.87 m aqueous solution?"
sattari [20]

The mole fraction of solute in a 3.87 m aqueous solution is 0.0697

<h3> calculation</h3>

molality = moles of the solute/Kg of the solvent

3.87 m dissolve in 1 Kg of water= 1000g

find the moles of water= mass/molar mass

that is 1000 g/ 18 g/mol= 55.56 moles

mole of solute = 3.87 moles

mole fraction is = moles of solute/moles of solvent

that is 3.87/ 55.56 = 0.0697

What is the difference between a strong acid and a weak acid?
chubhunter [2.5K]
Strong Acid has a lower pH level than a weak acid, weak acid pH level will be closer to 7 than the strong acid. Weak acid does not dissociate completely, therefore a weaker proton donor, thus higher pKa. Strong acids dissociates completely and release all of their hydrogen atom when dissolve in water.

Why do larger gases such as Neon produce more color bands (line spectra) than smaller gases like Hydrogen?
LekaFEV [45]
Larger gases produces more spectral lines than the smaller gases because they have more orbitals in their atoms.
Hydrogen has only one orbital in which an electron orbits. At the excited state, that is, when the electron gains energy, the number of energy level it can transcend is very few. For larger elements, they have more orbitals and when excited, they can move from the ground state to other energy levels at which they produce various unique spectral lines.
