<span>Radioactive waste, as its name implies, is a source of radiation that can be harmful to living organisms. Therefore it needs to be disposed of very carefully in such a way that the radiation cannot reach human beings and other living organisms. One method to do this is to bury the waste in deep pits. </span>

A 50.0 50.0 mL solution of 0.127 0.127 M KOH KOH is titrated with 0.254 0.254 M HCl HCl. Calculate the pH of the solution after
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

THE CORECT QUESTION

A 50.0 mL solution of 0.127 M KOH is titrated with 0.254 M HCl. Calculate the pH of the solution after the addition of each of the given amounts of HCl.

SOLUTION

Get the concentration of the HCl first using titration formula

CA X V A / CB VB = NA/ NB

Equation of reation; KOH + HCl => KCl + H2O

CA = 0.254 M

CB = 0.127

VA = 1/0.254 = 3.937

CA (after the addition) = 0.127 x 50 / 3.937

                                     = 1.612 M

But pH = - Log[hydrogen ion]

            = -log 1.612

            =

Combustion analysis of toluene, a common organic solvent, gives 8.20 mg of co2 and 1.92 mg of h2o. if the compound contains only
cestrela7 [59]
For the purpose of proper representation in this item, we let the number of moles of carbon in the compound be x, that of H is y. The equation of toluene now becomes,
                   CxHy
The combustion reaction is,
        CxHy + O2 --> CO2 + H2O

The equation presented above may not be balanced yet. Then, we determine the number of mmols of C, H, and O in the product using the given masses.
    
(1) 8.20 mg CO2
             (8.2 mg CO2)(1 mmol CO2/44 mg CO2) = 0.186 mmol CO2
     which means,
                     0.186 mmol C
                     0.373 mmol O

(2) 1.92 mg H2O
            (1.92 mg H2O)(1 mmol H2O/18 mg H2O) = 0.107 mmol H2O
    which means
                    0.2133 mmol H
                    0.107 mmol O

Thus, the equation for toluene is,
               C(0.186)H(0.2133)

Dividing the numbers by the lesser value,
               CH(8/7)
To eliminate the fraction, we multiply by the denominator. Thus, the final answer would be,
             <em> C7H8</em>
