Answer:
B. They are dimensionless ratios of the actual concentration or pressure divided by standard state concentration, which is 1 M for solutions and 1 bar for gases.
Explanation:
Activity of a substance is defined as the ratio of an effective concentration or an effective pressure to a standard state pressure or a standard state pressure. It is usually a unit less ratio.
Concentrations in an equilibrium constant are really dimensionless ratios of actual concentrations divided by standard state concentrations. Since standard states are 1 M for solutes, 1 bar for gases, and pure substances for solids and liquids, these are the units to be used.
Hence, activity is a fudge factor to ideal solutions that correct the true concentration. Activity of a gas and solute concentration is a ratio with no unit.
A scientific law is like a societal law because they both are to be abided by their purposed way of doing things
Answer is all of the above. Solids have definite shapes, volumes, and mass. Liquids don't have a fixed shape, but have a fixed volume. Gases have neither a fixed shape, volume, or mass
Answer:
0.007756M KHP; 0.0009695 moles NaOH reacts; 0.03488M NaOH.
Explanation:
Potassium hydrogen phthalate, KHP, is a salt used as standard to determine concentration of basic solutions as NaOH solutions.
To find molarity of the KHP solution we need to convert mass of KHP to moles and divide this in 125mL = 0.125L:
<em>Moles KHP -Molar mass: 204.22g/mol-:</em>
0.198g * (1mol / 204.22g) = 0.0009695 moles KHP
<em>Molarity:</em>
0.0009695 moles KHP / 0.125L = 0.007756M KHP
NaOH reacts with KHP as follows:
NaOH + KHP → Na⁺ + KP⁻ + H₂O
That means 1 mole of NaOH reacts per mole of KHP, that means moles of NaOH that reacts are = Moles of KHP added:
0.0009695 moles NaOH reacts
In 27.80mL = 0.02780L the NaOH was contained. Molarity is:
0.0009695 moles NaOH / 0.02780L =
0.03488M NaOH
This info tells us if it stable or not and it tells us how many electrons it need to be stable.
