Answer:

0.0400 g for the example given below.

Explanation:

pH value is not provided, so we'll solve this problem in a general case and then we will use an example to justify it.

  • By definition, pH = -log[H_3O^+].
  • NaOH is a strong base, as it's a hydroxide formed with a group 1A metal, so it dissociates fully in water by the equation: NaOH (aq)\rightarrow Na^+ (aq) + OH^- (aq).
  • From the equation above, using stoichiometry we can tell that the molarity of hydroxide is equal to the molarity of NaOH: [NaOH] = [OH^-].
  • Concentration of hydroxide is then equal to the ratio of moles of NaOH and the volume of the given solution. Moles themselves are equal to mass over molar mass, so we obtain: [OH^-] = [NaOH] = \frac{n_{NaOH}}{V} = \frac{m_{NaOH}}{M_{NaOH}V}.
  • We also know that pOH = 14.00 - pH = -log[NaOH]. Take the antilog of both sides: 10^{-pOH} = 10^{pH - 14.00} = [NaOH] = \frac{m_{NaOH}}{M_{NaOH}V}.
  • Solve for the mass of NaOH: m_{NaOH} = 10^{pH - 14.00}\cdot M_{NaOH}\cdot V.

Now, let's say that pH is given as 12.00 and we use a 100-ml volumetric flask. Then we would obtain:

m_{NaOH} = 10^{12.00 - 14.00}\cdot 39.997 g/mol\cdot 0.100 L = 0.0400 g

How can noble gas electron configuration be achieved?
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

A noble gas configuration of an atom consists of the elemental symbol of the last noble gas prior to that atom, followed by the configuration of the remaining electrons. So for sodium we make the substitution of (Ne) for the 1s22s22p6 part of the configuration. Sodium's noble gas configuration becomes (Ne) 3s1.

How many moles of NaOH are present in 27.5 mL of 0.270 M NaOH?
Naddik [55]
The solution for the question above is:

C = 0.270 
<span>V = 0.0275L </span>
<span>n = ? </span>

<span>Use the molar formula which is: C = n/V </span>
<span>Re-arrange it to: n = CV </span>
<span>n = (0.270)*(0.0275) </span>
<span>n = 0.007425 mols </span>
<span>(more precise) n = 7.425 x 10^-3 mols
</span>
7.425 x 10^-3 mols is the answer.
