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.

1*23=23. 2*12=24. 6*16=96

23+24+96=143

(23*100)/143. (24*100)/143. (96*100)/143

=16%. =16.7%. =67.1%

A crow flies 100 meters east in 5 minutes. What is the crow’s velocity?​
torisob [31]

<em>Answer:</em>  20 m/min east

<em>Explanation:</em>  The speed is distance divided by time

distance between start-point and end-point = 100 meters

<em>time to cover the distan</em>ce  =  5 minutes

100 m ÷ 5 min = 20 m/min east

y<u>ou have to add east since velocity is the measure of speed and direction and your answer needs to include the direction</u>
