The question is incomplete; the complete question is:

A chemist must prepare 800.0mL of potassium hydroxide solution with a pH of 13.00 at 25 degree C. He will do this in three steps: Fill a 800.0mL volumetric flask about halfway with distilled water. Weigh out a small amount of solid potassium hydroxide and add it to the flask. Fill the flask to the mark with distilled water. Calculate the mass of potassium hydroxide that the chemist must weigh out in the second step. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer:

4.5g (to 2 significant digits)

Explanation:

Now we must remember that KOH is a strong base, therefore it will practically dissociate completely.

To find the pH we can use the equation pH + pOH = 14.

Firstly to find the pOH:

13.00 + pOH = 14

pOH = 1.00

To find the [OH-]

Since

pOH= -log[OH^-]

[OH^-] = antilog (-pOH)

[OH^-]= antilog (-1)

[OH^-] = 0.1 molL-1

Since we've established that KOH is a strong base, we know that [OH-] = [KOH]

Also, we know that concentration = number of moles/volume

we have the concentration and the volume now so we can calculate the number of number of moles as follows:

The 800mL volume is the same as 0.8L

0.1 molL-1= number of moles/0.8L

0.08 moles = number of moles

now we can calculate the amount of solid KOH required

the molar mass of KOH = 39 + 16 +1 = 56 gmol-1

56 x 0.08 moles = 4.48g

So in 800mL of pH 13.00 KOH there is 4.5g of KOH dissolved.

To minimize the sharp ph shift that occurs when a strong acid is added to a solution
adell [148]
To minimize the sharp pH shift that occurs when a strong acid is added to a solution, IT IS PRACTICAL TO ADD A WEAK BASE.
When a strong acid is added to a solution, it usually brings about a sharp change in the pH of the concerned solution. To avoid this, one can add a  weak base to the solution first. The weak base will serves as a buffer for the strong acid and prevents the solution from experiencing sharp pH variations.

What does percent composition tell you about a substance?
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Percent composition tells you which types of atoms (elements) are present in a molecule and their levels. Percent composition can also tell you about the different elements present in an ionic compound as well.
