Explain why the statement “The speed of light is 300 million m/s” is not always correct.

Chemistry
1 answer:
levacccp [35]2 years ago
5 0

Because the speed of light is determined by the medium that is it in. If light is in a vacuum it goes 300 million meters per second but it is slower in air, and even slower in water because water is more dense than the previous two.

Can Magnesium hydroxide be used as the base for this titration? Why or why not? 5. Describe the procedure that you will follow t
kvasek [131]

Explanation:

A.

Yes

B.

2KHP + Mg(OH)2 = 2KOH + Mg(HP)2

KHP is an acidic salt which reacts with Mg(OH)2 which is a base via double displacement/decomposition reaction.

C.

• One approach is to prepare the solution volumetrically using KHP crystals.

• Preparing 1 liter of 0.1 M KHP you would add 0.1 moles of KHP

Molar mass of KHP(C8H5KO4)

= (12*8) + (5*1) + 39 + (16*4)

= 204 g/mol

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

= 20.4/204

= 0.1 mol.

• This is added to a 1 liter volumetric flask, add deionized water until near the fill line, stopper and mix

D.

Number of moles = molar concentration * volume

= 0.025 * 0.100

= 0.0025 mol

Equation for the reaction:

Ba(OH)2 + 2KHP --> Ba(KP)2 + 2H2O

1 mole of Ba(OH)2 reacted with 2 moles of KHP. By stoichiometry,

Number of moles of Ba(OH)2 = 0.0025/2

= 0.00125 mol.

Molarity = number of moles/volume

= 0.00125/0.01

= 0.125 M of Ba(OH)2.

What volume (in L) of a 1.25 M
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

V1= 0.305L

Explanation:

To find the initial volume of 1.25M potassium fluoride needed to make tge dilution specified in the question, we can use: C1 × V1 = C2 × V2

Since the question wants the volume in litres, convert 455 mL to L

455/ 1000

= 0.455 L

Now make the substitution

1.25 × V1 = 0.838 × 0.455

Rearrange to make V1 the subject

V1=

\frac{0.838 \times 0.455}{1.25 }  = 0.305
