Fossils can not be formed in igneous rock because before it cooled from the liquid magma state, any renants of fossils would be destroyed and melted... they form in sedimentary because thats where they can be buried and perserved the easiest, metamorphic would destroy them from the pressures and temperatures involved in there formations

Any fossils that would have been in the original rocks would have melted when magma formed.

A student is asked to standardize a solution of potassium hydroxide. He weighs out 1.08 g potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHC8H4O4

natka813 [3]

Answer:

A. 0.143 M

B. 0.0523 M

Explanation:

Let's consider the neutralization reaction between potassium hydroxide and potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP).

KOH + KHC₈H₄O₄ → H₂O + K₂C₈H₄O₄

The molar mass of KHP is 204.22 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 1.08 g are:

1.08 g × (1 mol/204.22 g) = 5.28 × 10⁻³ mol

The molar ratio of KOH to KHC₈H₄O₄ is 1:1. The reacting moles of KOH are 5.28 × 10⁻³ moles.

5.28 × 10⁻³ moles of KOH occupy a volume of 36.8 mL. The molarity of the KOH solution is:

M = 5.28 × 10⁻³ mol / 0.0368 L = 0.143 M

Let's consider the neutralization of potassium hydroxide and perchloric acid.

KOH + HClO₄ → KClO₄ + H₂O

When the molar ratio of acid (A) to base (B) is 1:1, we can use the following expression.

$M_{A} \times V_{A} = M_{B} \times V_{B}\\M_{A} = \frac{M_{B} \times V_{B}}{V_{A}} \\M_{A} = \frac{0.143 M \times 10.1mL}{27.6mL}\\M_{A} =0.0523 M$

Explain how to use an acid-base indicator to determine pH

Annette [7]

Acid-base indicator changes color based on pH.

drop some in a solution n watch the color changes. different indicators show different colors at different pH. they usually have standard colors for comparison.
