<span>he easiest way to see parallax is to hold out your finger vertically in front of a background object, a door or wall for example. Shut your right eye and note where on the background object the image of your finger appears. Now open your right eye and close the left one without moving your finger. The image of your finger should appear to have jumped to a different spot on the background wall. It is possible to tell how far away your finger is from your eyes just by measuring the distance between your eyes and the distance that the image appeared to move in degrees of arc. </span>

Do Alkali Metal Compounds form precipitates? And Why?

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Alkali metal hydroxides can be used to test the identity of metals in certain salts. The colour of the precipitate will help identify the metal : Calcium hydroxide is soluble; no precipitate is formed.

A 25.0-mL sample of 0.150 M hydrocyanic acid is titrated with a 0.150 M NaOH solution. The Ka of hydrocyanic acid is 4.9 × 10-10

lara [203]

Answer:

The pOH = 1.83

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

volume of the sample = 25.0 mL

Molarity of hydrocyanic acid = 0.150 M

Molarity of NaOH = 0.150 M

Ka of hydrocyanic acid = 4.9 * 10^-10

Step 2: The balanced equation

HCN + NaOH → NaCN + H2O

Step 3: Calculate the number of moles hydrocyanic acid (HCN)

Moles HCN = molarity * volume

Moles HCN = 0.150 M * 0.0250 L

Moles HCN = 0.00375 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles NaOH

Moles NaOH = 0.150 M * 0.0305 L

Moles NaOH = 0.004575 moles

Step 4: Calculate the limiting reactant

0.00375 moles HCN will react with 0.004575 moles NaOH

HCN is the limiting reactant. It will completely be reacted. There will react 0.00375 moles NaOH. There will remain 0.004575 - 0.00375 = 0.000825 moles NaOH

Step 5: Calculate molarity of NaOH

Molarity NaOH = moles NaOH / volume

Molarity NaOH = 0.000825 moles / 0.0555 L

Molarity NaOH = 0.0149 M

Step 6: Calculate pOH

pOH = -log [OH-]

pOH = -log (0.0149)

pOH = 1.83

The pOH = 1.83
