I am guessing you want us to balance this equation so.
To balance, we add another molecule of HCl to the left side of the equation and another molecule of water (H20) to the right side of the equation to give:
<span>Mg(OH)2 + 2HCl = MgCl2 + 2H20 </span>
Molar concentration = (numbet of mol Solute)/ ( volume Solution)
1) Finding
the number of the mol solute


Answer:
% composition O = 19.9%
% composition Cu = 80.1%
Explanation:
Given data:
Total mass of compound = 3.12 g
Mass of copper = 2.50 g
Mass of oxygen = 3.12 - 2.50 = 0.62 g
% composition = ?
Solution:
Formula:
<em>% composition = ( mass of element/ total mass)×100</em>
% composition Cu = (2.50 g / 3.12 g)×100
% composition Cu = 0.80 ×100
% composition Cu = 80.1%
For oxygen:
<em>% composition = ( mass of element/ total mass)×100</em>
% composition O = (0.62 g / 3.12 g)×100
% composition O = 0.199 ×100
% composition O = 19.9%
Answer:
- <em>The solution that has the highest concentration of hydroxide ions is </em><u>d. pH = 12.59.</u>
Explanation:
You can solve this question using just some chemical facts:
- pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity: the higher the pH the lower the acidity and the higher the alkalinity.
- The higher the concentration of hydroxide ions the lower the acidity or the higher the alkalinity of the solution, this is the higher the pH.
Hence, since you are asked to state the solution with the highest concentration of hydroxide ions, you just pick the highest pH. This is the option d, pH = 12.59.
These mathematical relations are used to find the exact concentrations of hydroxide ions:
- pH + pOH = 14 ⇒ pOH = 14 - pH
- pOH = - log [OH⁻] ⇒
![[OH^-]=10^{-pOH}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BOH%5E-%5D%3D10%5E%7B-pOH%7D)
Then, you can follow these calculations:
Solution pH pOH [OH⁻]
a. 3.21 14 - 3.21 = 10.79 antilogarithm of 10.79 = 1.6 × 10⁻¹¹
b. 7.00 14 - 7.00 = 7.00 antilogarithm of 7.00 = 10⁻⁷
c. 7.93 14 - 7.93 = 6.07 antilogarithm of 6.07 = 8.5 × 10⁻⁷
d. 12.59 14 - 12.59 = 1.41 antilogarithm of 1.41 = 0.039
e. 9.82 14 - 9.82 = 4.18 antilogarithm of 4.18 = 6.6 × 10⁻⁵
From which you see that the highest concentration of hydroxide ions is for pH = 12.59.
