Phenolphthalein is an indicator that turns from colorless (acidic form) to magenta (basic form) and has a pKa of 9.40. What is t

he ratio of the magenta phenolphthalein concentration to the colorless phenolphthalein concentration ([magenta phenolphthalein]/[colorless phenolphthalein]) at a pH of 11?

Answer:

40:1  is the ratio of the magenta phenolphthalein concentration to the colorless phenolphthalein concentration.

Explanation:

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[salt]}{[acid]})

pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[magenta(Php)]}{[Php]})

We are given:

pK_a = negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of phenolphthalein = 9.40

[magenta(Php)] = concentration of magenta phenolphthalein

[Php] = concentration of colorless phenolphthalein

pH = 11

Putting values in above equation, we get:

11=9.40+\log(\frac{[magenta(Php)]}{[Php]})

\log(\frac{[magenta(Php)]}{[Php]})=11-9.40=1.6

\frac{[magenta(Php)]}{[Php]}=10^{1.6}=39.81 :1 \approx 40:1

40:1  is the ratio of the magenta phenolphthalein concentration to the colorless phenolphthalein concentration.

In a light wave, which properties tell you the color of light
algol13

Answer :- In a light wave the property of wave which tells about the color of light is it's Wavelength .

Wavelength is the distance between one crest and one through , also it is the distance after which the wave repeat itself !

It's SI unit is meter !

It is scalar quantity !!

Different Wavelength of light have different color !!

• VIBGYOR

i.e, Violent , Indigo , Blue , Green , Yellow Orange, and Red along with their shades are the colors which we can see !!

• They almost range from 400nm to 700nm ( visible range of light )

How to balance barium and oxygen yield barium oxide
olga55 [171]
Barium : Ba^{+2} with +2 being the charge
Oxygen : O^{-2} with -2 being the charge

The given equation can be written as:
Ba + O = BaO

Since the sum charges of Barium and Oxygen equals 0, there is no need to add subscripts.

Both Ba and O appear on the left and right side of the equation once, so there is no need to add a coefficient.

Ba + O = BaO is balanced

Give the product expected when the following alcohol reacts with pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC). (Assume that PCC is present in
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Kindly check the explanation section.

Explanation:

Based on the description of the reacting -OH group containing Compound, the drawing of the chemical compound is given in the attached picture.

So, without mincing words let's dive straight into the solution to the question.

The reaction between the OH containing compound and PCC is an oxidation reaction.

Looking at the carbon number 1 which the first OH group and CH3 are attached to. Oxidation can not occur here as tertiary alcohol can not be oxidize.

Hence, the second OH will be oxidized into a carbonyl group, C = O. Kindly note that when alcohol oxidizes it turns into an aldehyde.

The equation for the reaction is also given the the attached picture.
