Answer:

5.65 is the pH.

Explanation:

I am assuming that you are asking for confirmation on your answer. The answer is 5.65.

You would do:

[pOH] = -log[OH-]

= -log[4.5*10^-9]

equals about 8.3468

To find pH your would subtract the pOH from 14.

14-8.3468 = 5.65 << Rounded to match the answer choices.

150 mL of 0.25 mol/L magnesium chloride solution and 150 mL of 0.35 mol/L silver nitrate solution are mixed together. After reac

Answer:

$0.175\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}$ .

Explanation:

Magnesium chloride and silver nitrate reacts at a $2:1$ ratio:

$\rm MgCl_2\, (aq) + 2\, AgNO_3\, (aq) \to Mg(NO_3)_2 \, (aq) + 2\, AgCl\, (s)$ .

In reality, the nitrate ion from silver nitrate did not take part in this reaction at all. Consider the ionic equation for this very reaction:

$\begin{aligned}& \rm Mg^{2+} + 2\, Cl^{-} + 2\, Ag^{+} + 2\, {NO_3}^{-} \\&\to \rm Mg^{2+} + 2\, {NO_3}^{-} + 2\, AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}$ .

The precipitate silver chloride $\rm AgCl$ is insoluble in water and barely ionizes. Hence, $\rm AgCl\!$ isn't rewritten as ions.

Net ionic equation:

$\begin{aligned}& \rm Ag^{+} + Cl^{-} \to AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}$ .

Calculate the initial quantity of nitrate ions in the mixture.

$\begin{aligned}n(\text{initial}) &= c(\text{initial}) \cdot V(\text{initial}) \\ &= 0.25\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} \times 0.150\; \rm L \\ &= 0.0375\; \rm mol \end{aligned}$ .

Since nitrate ions $\rm {NO_3}^{-}$ do not take part in any reaction in this mixture, the quantity of this ion would stay the same.

$n(\text{final}) = n(\text{initial}) = 0.0375\; \rm mol$ .

However, the volume of the new solution is twice that of the original nitrate solution. Hence, the concentration of nitrate ions in the new solution would be $(1/2)$ of the concentration in the original solution.

$\begin{aligned} c(\text{final}) &= \frac{n(\text{final})}{V(\text{final})} \\ &= \frac{0.0375\; \rm mol}{0.300\; \rm L} = 0.175\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

What observations would lead you to believe that the ink is actually a mixture?

worty [1.4K]

When using filter paper chromatography to separate ink, one will observe that more colours are mixed into darker inks. The darker an ink is, the more the colours that will be separated out during chromatography process. Thus, the observation that the darker the ink, the more colours are mixed into it will lead one to believe that ink is a mixture.

An unknown compound in the lab is either LiOH, CaF2, or LiF. If the sample has a mass of 260 grams and contains 3.33 moles, what

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

CaF2

Explanation:

1 mole of CaF2 = 78.0748064 grams

78 times 3.33= 259.74

the others multiplied were nowhere near 260 grams either
