A chemistry student needs to standardize a fresh solution of sodium hydroxide. She carefully weighs out 192.mg of oxalic acid H2

C2O4, a diprotic acid that can be purchased inexpensively in high purity, and dissolves it in 250.mL of distilled water. The student then titrates the oxalic acid solution with her sodium hydroxide solution. When the titration reaches the equivalence point, the student finds she has used 55.8mL of sodium hydroxide solution.
Calculate the molarity of the student's sodium hydroxide solution. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

The molarity of the NaOH solution is 0.076 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of oxalic acid = 192 mg = 0.192 grams

volume = 250 mL = 0.250 L

Molar mass oxalic acid = 90.03 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

H2C2O4 + 2NaOH → Na2C2O4 + H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles of oxalic acid

Moles oxalic acid = 0.192 grams / 90.03 g/mol

Moles oxalic acid = 0.00213 moles

Step 4: Calculate molarity of oxalic acid

Molarity = Moles / volume

Molarity = 0.00213 moles / 0.250 L

Molarity = 0.00852 M

Step 5: Calculate Molarity of NaOH

2 Ca*Va = Cb*Vb

with Ca = Molarity of oxalic acid = 0.00852 M

with Va = volume of oxalic acid = 0.250 L

with Cb = Molarity of NaOH = TO BE DETERMINED

with Vb = volume of 0.0558 L

Cb = (2*0.00852 * 0.25) / 0.0558

Cb = 0.076 M

The molarity of the NaOH solution is 0.076 M

9. How many grams are in 2.0 x 105 molecules of carbon monoxide?
timama [110]

Answer: 9.3 x 10^ 18 g CO

Explanation:

Start by knowing that carbon monoxide is the compound CO. To convert molecules to grams, you first need to convert molecules to moles. This can be done using the conversion factor for Avogadro's Number:

(2.0 x 10^5 molecules CO) x 1 mol CO / 6.02 x 10^23 molecules CO

This cancels molecules CO.

Then, you can convert moles to grams, which is your desired quantity. You can find the number of grams for CO by looking at the periodic table and adding together their masses. C = 12 g and O = 16 g. Total of 28 g CO:

(1 mol CO) x 28 g CO / 1 mol CO

This cancels mol CO, which leaves grams CO.

Akosua has observed that anytime she drinks sobolo, her stool appears dark green. On one occasion
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

i. Sobolo is a Ghanian drink that is produced from red hibiscus flower that has an average pH of 6.7

It contains cyanidin and anthocyanins, which is a red pigment that is red in an acidic medium and changes green when introduced in a basic medium that has a high pH

The pH at the rectum of the digestive system = 5 to 8 (Slightly basic)

Therefore, what made the stool of Akosua green is that the sobolo drink changes to green in basic solution

ii. The stool which appeared green because she took sobolo turn into bright red upon mixing with the acidic WC water because of the presence of anthocyanins in sobolo, it turns red in an acidic medium

iii. Sobolo which turns green, or blue in a basic medium and red in an acidic medium can be used as a litmus solution to test the pH of a given substance

Explanation:

Sobolo or soobolo in Ghana is a name for the Hibiscus tea or tisane, which is made from calyces of the hibiscus plant, and has a sour (tangy) taste and appears bright red in color

What determines the strength of the attraction between molecules?
alexandr402 [8]
To determine strength of attractive forces between the molecules the size of the molecules, their polarity (dipole moment), and their shape. ... If two molecules have about the same size and similar shape, the dipole-dipole intermolecular attractive force increases with increasing polarity.
