The instruction booklet for your pressure cooker indicates that its highest setting is 11.1 psi. You know that standard atmosphe

ric pressure is 14.7 psi, so the booklet must mean 11.1 psi above atmospheric pressure.
At what temperature in degrees Celsius will your food cook in this pressure cooker set on "high"?

<u>Answer:</u> The temperature in the pressure cooker set on high is 206.14°C

<u>Explanation:</u>

STP conditions:

Pressure = 14.7 psi

Temperature = 273 K

To calculate the final temperature of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

$\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1\text{ and }T_1$ are the initial pressure and temperature of the gas.

$P_2\text{ and }T_2$ are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

$P_1=14.7psi\\T_1=273K\\P_2=(14.7+11.1)psi=25.8psi\\T_2=?$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{14.7psi}{273K}=\frac{25.8psi}{T_2}\\\\T_2=\frac{25.8\times 273}{14.7}=479.14K$

Converting the temperature from kelvins to degree Celsius, by using the conversion factor:

$T(K)=T(^oC)+273$

$479.14=T(^oC)+273\\\\T(^oC)=(479.14-273)=206.14^oC$

Hence, the temperature in the pressure cooker set on high is 206.14°C

A student wants to prepare 1.00 L of a 1.00 M solution of NaOH (molar mass 40.00 g/mol). If solid NaOH is available, how would t

Serga [27]

Explanation:

1)

$Molarity=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Molar mass of substance}\times \text{Volume of solution(L)}}$

Mass of NaOH = m

MOlar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

Volume of NaOH solution = 1.00 L

Molarity of the solution= 1.00 M

$1.00 M=\frac{m}{40 g/mol\times 1.00 L}$

$m=1.00 M\times 40 g/mol\times 1.00 L = 40. g$

A student can prepare the solution by dissolving the 40. grams of NaOH in is small volume of water and making that whole volume of solution to volume of 1 L.

Upto two significant figures mass should be determined.

2)

$M_1V_1=M_2V_2$ (dilution equation)

Molarity of the NaOH solution = $M_1=2.00 M$

Volume of the solution = $V_1=?$

Molarity of the NaOH solution after dilution = $M_2=1.00 M$

Volume of NaOH solution after dilution= $V_2=1 L$

$M_1V_1=M_2V_2$

$V_1=\frac{1.00 M\times 1.00 L}{2.00 M}=0.500 L$

A student can prepare NaOH solution of 1.00 M by diluting the 0.500 L of 2.00 M solution of NaOH with water to 1.00 L volume.

Upto three significant figures volume should be determined.

Be sure to answer all parts. What is the [H3O+] and the pH of a buffer that consists of 0.26 M HNO2 and 0.89 M KNO2? (K, of HNO2

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer : The $H_3O^+$ ion concentration is, $1.12\times 10^{-3}M$ and the pH of a buffer is, 2.95

Explanation : Given,

$K_a=7.1\times 10^{-4}$

Concentration of $HNO_2$ (weak acid)= 0.26 M

Concentration of $KNO_2$ (conjugate base or salt)= 0.89 M

First we have to calculate the value of $pK_a$ .

The expression used for the calculation of $pK_a$ is,

$pK_a=-\log (K_a)$

Now put the value of $K_a$ in this expression, we get:

$pK_a=-\log (7.1\times 10^{-4})$

$pK_a=4-\log (7.1)$

$pK_a=3.15$

Now we have to calculate the pH of the solution.

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

$pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}$

$pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[KNO_2]}{[HNO_2]}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$pH=3.15+\log (\frac{0.89}{0.26})$

$pH=2.95$

The pH of a buffer is, 2.95

Now we have to calculate the $H_3O^+$ ion concentration.

$pH=-\log [H_3O^+]$

$2.95=-\log [H_3O^+]$

$[H_3O^+]=1.12\times 10^{-3}M$

The $H_3O^+$ ion concentration is, $1.12\times 10^{-3}M$

Write a chemical equation for the dissolution of the AgCl precipitate upon the addition of NH,(aq).

Kobotan [32]

Explanation:

White precipitate of silver chloride get dissolves in excess ammonia to formation of complex between silver ions, chloride ions and ammonia molecules.

The chemical reaction is given as:

$AgCl(s)+2NH_3(aq)\rightarrow Ag[(NH_3)_2]^+Cl^-(aq)$

When 1 mole of silver chloride is added to 2 mole of an aqueous ammonia it form coordination complex of diaaminesilver(I) chloride.
