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.

Please answer, please answer please answer please answer<br>my last 2 chemistry question. ​
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

1. filtration and evaporation

2. i) water is added to the sand and salt mixture

ii) then the mixture is filtrated and so the sand and the salt water was seperated

iii) the salt water is heated with the help of burner until the water gets evaporated

iv) after the water gets evaporated, the salt is remained in the container

3. observation:

  • on adding water to the mixture, the salt is completely dissolved in the water
  • when filtrated the sand is seperated from the salt water
  • now the salt water when heated with the burner until the evaporation, the water is evaporated
  • the salt is precipitated and remained in the container

4. cautions:

  • while using the burner, we should be cautious with fire
  • the container that is heated should be holded with the help of a cloth to avoid heat

A gas at a pressure of 360 torrs and a volume of 750 ml. If the pressure becomes 1.5 atm what is the new volume?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

V₂ = 236.84 mL

Explanation:

The relation between pressure and volume is inverse.

We can write it as follows :

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

We have,

P₁ = 360 torrs, V₁ = 750 mL, P₂ = 1.5 atm = 1140 torr.

So,

V_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{P_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{360\times 750}{1140}\\\\V_2=236.84\ mL

So, the new volume of the gas is 236.84 mL.
