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:

  1. pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity: the higher the pH the lower the acidity and the higher the alkalinity.
  2. 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}

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.

Suppose 0.245 g of sodium chloride is dissolved in 50. mL of a 18.0 m M aqueous solution of silver nitrate.
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{ 0.066 mol/L}}

Explanation:

We are given the amounts of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.

1. Assemble all the data in one place, with molar masses above the formulas and other information below them.

Mᵣ:       58.44  

            NaCl + AgNO₃ ⟶ NaNO₃ + AgCl

m/g:     0.245

V/mL:                 50.

c/mmol·mL⁻¹:       0.0180

2. Calculate the moles of each reactant  

\text{Moles of NaCl} = \text{245 mg NaCl} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mmol NaCl}}{\text{58.44 mg NaCl}} = \text{4.192 mmol NaCl}\\\\\text{ Moles of AgNO}_{3}= \text{50. mL AgNO}_{3} \times \dfrac{\text{0.0180 mmol AgNO}_{3}}{\text{1 mL AgNO}_{3}} = \text{0.900 mmol AgNO}_{3}

3. Identify the limiting reactant  

Calculate the moles of AgCl we can obtain from each reactant.

From NaCl:  

The molar ratio of NaCl to AgCl is 1:1.

\text{Moles of AgCl} = \text{4.192 mmol NaCl} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mmol AgCl}}{\text{1 mmol NaCl}} = \text{4.192 mmol AgCl}

From AgNO₃:  

The molar ratio of AgNO₃ to AgCl is 1:1.  

\text{Moles of AgCl} = \text{0.900 mmol AgNO}_{3} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mmol AgCl}}{\text{1 mmol AgNO}_{3}} = \text{0.900 mmol AgCl}

AgNO₃ is the limiting reactant because it gives the smaller amount of AgCl.

4. Calculate the moles of excess reactant

                   Ag⁺(aq)  +  Cl⁻(aq) ⟶ AgCl(s)

 I/mmol:      0.900        4.192            0

C/mmol:    -0.900       -0.900        +0.900

E/mmol:      0                3.292          0.900

So, we end up with 50. mL of a solution containing 3.292 mmol of Cl⁻.

5. Calculate the concentration of Cl⁻

\text{[Cl$^{-}$] } = \dfrac{\text{3.292 mmol}}{\text{50. mL}} = \textbf{0.066 mol/L}\\\text{The concentration of chloride ion is $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.066 mol/L}}$}

Identify the type of chemical bond in a molecule reactant
e-lub [12.9K]
Draw the electron-dot (Lewis) structure of O2. You will see that there is a double bond, thus making the chemical bond a covalent bond since they have to share a pair of electrons in order to complete their octet.

Identify ways to reduce the risk of liquid bumping while heating.
postnew [5]

The most common way of preventing bumping is by adding one or two boiling chips to the reaction vessel. However, these alone may not prevent bumping and for this reason it is advisable to boil liquids in a boiling tube, a boiling flask, or an Erlenmeyer flask.

What identifies a flaw in J. J. Thomson’s model of the atom?
katrin [286]

Answer:

The plum-pudding model did not identify a central nucleus as the source of a positive charge.

Explanation:

Sir Joseph John Thomson, most popularly known as J J Thomson. He was a famous scientist who was awarded the Noble prize for Physics for his discovery of the subatomic particle, electron.

He placed his famous model of an atom which is known as plum pudding model. He proposed that the atoms are described as the negative particles that is floating within a soup of the diffuse positive charge.

But the main defect of his proposal was that it did not recognized the presence of a central nucleus as a positive charged source.
