When a strong acid is titrated with a strong base using pheolphthalein as an indicator, the color changes abruptly at the endpoi

nt of the titration and can be switched back and forth by the addition of only one drop of acid or base. The reason for the abruptness of this color change is that:

Keto-enol tautomerism

<u>Explanation:</u>

Phenolphthalein is an indicator (C₂₀H₁₄O₄), which is utilized to find the volume in the titration of acid and base, Depending on the pH value the indicator, changes its color from colorless in acids to pink in basic medium.

It is a weak acid, losses a (H⁺) proton in solution, that is colorless, whereas the corresponding anion is pink in color.

This change in color of the molecule  is not only defined by the addition of  a base or an acid, but also with the structure of the indicator, which leads to tautomerism called as  keto-enol tautomerism. If a molecule has 2 (-OH) hydroxyl groups as well as 1 (C=O) carbonyl group, exhibit an equilibrium among both the groups. Because of this change, structure of the indicator changes and so color also changes.

A 50/50 blend of engine coolant and water (by volume) is usually used in an automobile's engine cooling system. If a car's cooli
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

109.09°C

Explanation:

Given that:

the capacity of the cooling car system = 5.6 gal

volume of solute = volume of the water; since a 50/50 blend of engine coolant and water (by volume) is used.

∴ \frac{5.60}{2}gallons = 2.80 gallons

Afterwards, the mass of the solute and the mass of the water can be determined as shown below:

mass of solute = (M__1}) = Density*Volume

                          = 1.1g/mL *2.80*\frac{3785.41mL}{1gallon}

                         = 11659.06grams

On the other hand; the mass of water = (M__2})= Density*Volume

                         = 0.998g/mL *2.80*\frac{3785.41mL}{1gallon}

                        = 10577.95 grams

Molarity = \frac{massof solute*1000}{molarmassof solute*massofwater}

              =  \frac{11659.06*1000}{62.07*10577.95}

              = 17.757 m

              ≅ 17.76 m

∴  the boiling point of the solution is calculated using the  boiling‑point elevation constant for water and the Molarity.

\Delta T_{boiling} = k_{boiling}M

where,

k_{boiling} = 0.512 °C/m

\Delta T_{boiling} =  100°C + 17.56 × 0.512

              = 109.09 °C

1. Find the density of an object that has a mass of 8.2 grams and a volume of 3 cc.
satela [25.4K]

The actual formula for volume for a cube is the length multiplied by the width and then multiplied by the height. Since all three measurements are the same, the formula results in the measurement of one side cubed. For the example, 5^3 is 125 cm^3. Multiply the volume by the known density, which is the mass per volume.
