Answer with Explanation:

"Mass" and "weight" should never be used interchangeably with each other. Mass refers to the total amount of matter that can be measured in an object, while weight refers to the measure of the force of gravity that is acting on the object's mass.

The mass of an object is constant (meaning, it doesn't change even if the object will be placed on another location) while the weight of an object relies on the force of gravity. So, this means that your mass on Earth and on the moon are identical, however, your weight on Earth and on the Moon are different. You will weigh lesser on the Moon because it has a lesser surface gravity than that of Earth.

So, this explains the answer.

Answer:

Eqv Pt pH = 8.73

Explanation:

HOAc + NaOH => NaOAc + H₂O

50ml(0.10M HOAc) + 50ml(0.10M NaOH) => 100ml(0.05M NaOAc) + H₂O

For neutralized system, 100ml of 0.05M NaOAc remains

NaOAc => Na⁺ + OAc⁻

Na⁺ + H₂O => No Rxn

OAc⁻ + H₂O => HOAc + OH⁻

C(i) 0.05M ----- 0M 0M

ΔC -x ----- +x +x

C(f) 0.05-x

≅ 0.05M ----- x x

Kb = Kw/Ka = [HOAc][OH⁻]/[OAc⁻] = 1 X 10⁻¹⁴/1.7 X 10⁻⁵ = (x)(x)/(0.05M)

=> x = [OH⁻] = SqrRt(0.05 x 10⁻¹⁴/1.7 x 10⁻⁵) = 5.42 x 10⁻⁶M

=> pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(5.42 x 10⁻⁶) = 5.27

pH + pOH = 14 => pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 5.27 = 8.73 Eqv Pt pH

When the reaction mixture is worked-up, it is first washed three times with 5% sodium bicarbonate, and then with a saturated nac

Ann [662]

Solution:

After the reaction of mixture is worked-up Washing three times the organic with sodium carbonate helps to decrease the solubility of the organic layer into the aqueous layer. This allows the organic layer to be separated more easily.

And then the reaction washed by saturated NACL we have The bulk of the water can often be removed by shaking or "washing" the organic layer with saturated aqueous sodium chloride (otherwise known as brine). The salt water works to pull the water from the organic layer to the water layer.
