D. precision. At first glance you can mark out A and B because the answers does not relate to the question. If question had said "what do you call it when the measurement is close to the actual answer" then you would have picked C. So that leaves you D. precision.

a couple of pennies have a mas of 5.2 grams. Asuming that the pennies are 100% percent copper,how many moles of copper are the p
dangina [55]

Answer:

5.2g copper (Cu) => 0.082 moles copper (2 sig.figs.)

Explanation:

mole conversions:

grams to moles => divide by formula wt.

moles to grams => multiply by formula wt.

gas volumes to moles => divide volume by 22.4Liters/mole (STP conditions only)

This problem:

mass to moles => divide by formula wt.

mass = 5.2g = 5.2g/63.5g/mole = 0.082 moles copper (2 sig.figs.)

An analytical chemist is titrating of a solution of propionic acid with a solution of 224.9 ml of a 0.6100M solution of propioni
Svetllana [295]

<u>Answer:</u> The pH of acid solution is 4.58

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}    .....(1)

  • <u>For KOH:</u>

Molarity of KOH solution = 1.1000 M

Volume of solution = 41.04 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

1.1000M=\frac{\text{Moles of KOH}\times 1000}{41.04}\\\\\text{Moles of KOH}=\frac{1.1000\times 41.04}{1000}=0.04514mol

  • <u>For propanoic acid:</u>

Molarity of propanoic acid solution = 0.6100 M

Volume of solution = 224.9 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.6100M=\frac{\text{Moles of propanoic acid}\times 1000}{224.9}\\\\\text{Moles of propanoic acid}=\frac{0.6100\times 224.9}{1000}=0.1372mol

The chemical reaction for propanoic acid and KOH follows the equation:

                 C_2H_5COOH+KOH\rightarrow C_2H_5COOK+H_2O

<u>Initial:</u>          0.1372         0.04514  

<u>Final:</u>           0.09206          -                0.04514

Total volume of solution = [224.9 + 41.04] mL = 265.94 mL = 0.26594 L     (Conversion factor:  1 L = 1000 mL)

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{salt}]}{[acid]})

pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[C_2H_5COOK]}{[C_2H_5COOH]})

We are given:  

pK_a = negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of propanoic acid = 4.89

[C_2H_5COOK]=\frac{0.04514}{0.26594}

[C_2H_5COOH]=\frac{0.09206}{0.26594}

pH = ?  

Putting values in above equation, we get:

pH=4.89+\log(\frac{(0.04514/0.26594)}{(0.09206/0.26594)})\\\\pH=4.58

Hence, the pH of acid solution is 4.58

A mixture is made of 40 ml of salt water to 200 ml of solution. What percent of the solution is salt water?
Serggg [28]

Answer:

16.7%

Explanation:

40 ml of salt water + 200 ml of solution = 240 ml

40/240 = 4/24 = 1/6=16.7%
