I am having some trouble figuring out how to approach the following problem: A 75.0-mL volume of 0.200 M NH3 (Kb=1.8×10−5) is ti

trated with 0.500 M HNO3. Calculate the pH after the addition of 17.0mL of HNO3.

<span>We look at the end of the day:

n(HNO3) added = 0.500*17.0/1000 = 0.00850 mol
n(NH3) = 0.200*75.0/1000 - 0.00850 = 0.00650 mol
[NH3] left = 0.00650*1000/(17.0+75.0) = 0.070652
M [OH-] = Kb * [NH3] = 0.070652*1.8*10^(-5) = 1.27174 x 10^(-6)
pOH = -log[OH-] ≈ 5.8956 pH = 14 - pOH ≈ 8.10</span>

Look up the reduction potential for each cell in question on a table of standard electrode potential like this one from Chemistry LibreTexts. [1]

The standard reduction potential

resembles the electrode's strength as an oxidizing agent and equivalently its tendency to get reduced. The reduction potential of a Platinum-Hydrogen Electrode under standard conditions (

) is defined as

0

l

V

for reference. [2]

A cell with a high reduction potential indicates a strong oxidizing agent- vice versa for a cell with low reduction potentials.

Two half cells connected with an external circuit and a salt bridge make a galvanic cell; the half-cell with the higher

E

θ

and thus higher likelihood to be reduced will experience reduction and act as the cathode, whereas the half-cell with a lower

E

θ

will experience oxidation and act the anode.

E

Therefore in this galvanic cell, the

the anode.

The standard cell potential of a galvanic cell equals the standard reduction potential of the cathode minus that of the anode. That is:

Virty [35]
Explain whether this is a chemical or physical change, and why. does it involve elements, compounds, mixtures, or pure substances?

If the process involves a chemical reaction then surely it is a chemical change where new bonds are being formed from the collision of the reactants.

Describe how many atoms are involved before and after. what do you notice about the number of atoms?

From the balanced chemical reaction, we see that we need 1 mol of N2 gas and 3 mol of H2 in order to form 2 mol of NH3.

Which postulate of Dalton's atomic theory was later proven wrong?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Option c and d

Explanation:

John Dalton. In 1808, John Dalton proposed a theory known as Dalton’s Atomic Theory. The theory was published in a paper titled “A New Chemical Philosophy”. This theory was new to that era

The 5 postulates of Daltons' atomic theory are:

1. All the matters are made of atoms.

2. Atoms of different elements combine to form compounds

3. Compounds contain atoms in small whole-number ratios

4. Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed . (This was later proven wrong )

5. All atoms of an element are identical and have the same properties (This was later proven wrong as atoms of same element may be different in case of elements having isotopes )

Therefore, options c and d are the answer.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Explanation:

GAAP is a generally accepted accounting principle in U.S. it refers to common sets of accepted accounting principle, standards, procedures that the companies and its accountants must follow in order to compile their financial statement.

IFRS are sets of international accounting standards That specify how the financial statements will disclose different types of transactions and other activities. The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issues IFRS which defines precisely how accountants are required to maintain and record their accounts. In an attempt to have an universal accounting system, IFRS was developed so that business and accounts can be interpreted from industry to industry, and country to country.
