To compare how different types of soil absorbed water, Christian set up an experiment. He poked equal numbers and sizes of holes

into the bottoms of three plastic cups. He filled one cup with sand, one with potting soil, and left one empty. He placed each cup in a stand over a beaker. Christian poured 400 mL (milliliters) of water into each of the cups. He then measured the amount of water collected in the beakers beneath each cup at 1 minute intervals for 3 minutes. What is the control in this experiment? Group of answer choices

The flask contains 10.0 mL of HCl and a few drops of phenolphthalein indicator. The buret contains 0.160 M NaOH. It requires 18.
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Approximately 0.291\; \rm M (rounded to two significant figures.)

Explanation:

The unit of concentration \rm M is the same as \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} (moles per liter.) On the other hand, the volume of both the \rm NaOH solution and the original \rm HCl solution here are in milliliters. Convert these two volumes to liters:

  • V(\mathrm{NaOH}) = 18.2\; \rm mL = 18.2 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm L = 0.0182\; \rm L.
  • V(\text{$\mathrm{HCl}$, original}) = 10.0\; \rm mL = 10.0\times 10^{-3}\; \rm L = 0.0100\; \rm L.

Calculate the number of moles of \rm NaOH in that 0.0182\; \rm L of 0.160\; \rm M solution:

\begin{aligned} n(\mathrm{NaOH}) &= c(\mathrm{NaOH})\cdot V(\mathrm{NaOH})\\ &= 0.160\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} \times 0.0182\; \rm L \approx 0.00291\; \rm mol\end{aligned}.

\rm HCl reacts with \rm NaOH at a one-to-one ratio:

\rm HCl\; (aq) + NaOH\; (aq) \to NaCl\; (aq) + H_2O\; (l).

Coefficient ratio:

\displaystyle \frac{n(\mathrm{HCl})}{n(\mathrm{NaOH})} = 1.

In other words, one mole of \rm NaOH would neutralize exactly one mole of \rm HCl. In this titration, 0.291\; \rm mol of \rm NaOH\! was required. Therefore, the same amount of \rm HC should be present in the original solution:

\begin{aligned}&n(\text{$\mathrm{HCl}$, original})\\ &= n(\mathrm{NaOH})\cdot \frac{n(\mathrm{HCl})}{n(\mathrm{NaOH})} \\ &\approx 0.00291\; \rm mol \times 1 = 0.00291\; \rm mol\end{aligned}.

Calculate the concentration of the original \rm HCl solution:

\displaystyle c(\text{$\mathrm{HCl}$, original}) = \frac{n(\text{$\mathrm{HCl}$, original})}{V(\text{$\mathrm{HCl}$, original})} \approx \frac{0.00291\; \rm mol}{0.0100\; \rm L} \approx 0.291\; \rm M.

Why electronegative decrease going down the periodic table
liraira [26]
Moving down in a group, the electronegativity decreases due to an increase in the distance between the nucleus and the valence electron shell, thereby decreasing the attraction, making the atom have less of an attraction for electrons or protons.

Lewis dot diagram for the Cs1+ ion
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Cs^+

Explanation:

Cesium Lewis dot structure would look like this:

·Cs,  because it only has one valence electron. But, since it has a plus, that means we lost an electron. So, we have to get rid of the dot and you have:

Cs^+

What mass of sodium chloride contains 4.59 x 10 24 formula units?
shtirl [24]
The term formula units means molecules.

Then, what you are looking for is the mass in 4.59*10^24  molecules.

The procedure involves to convert the 4.59 * 10^24 molecules into moles and use the molar mass of the sodium chloride.

1) Number of moles = 4.59 * 10^24 molecules / (6.02 * 10^23 molecules/mol) = 7.62 mol

2) Molar mass of NaCl = 22.99 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol = 58.44 g/mol

3) mass of NaCl = molar mass *  number of moles = 58.44 g/mol * 7.62 mol = 445.31 g of NaCl

Answer: 445.31 g of NaCl.

For the following questions, use a periodic table and your atomic calculations to find the unknown information about each isotop
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Option B is correct.

4

Explanation:

We know that an atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example, if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

In given problem we are given with 2 neutrons of helium. We know that the atomic number of He is 2. Thus Mass number of He is,

Number of neutrons + number of proton

2 + 2 = 4

Thus, option B is correct.
