In real-life situations, workers collect water samples in a lake or stream instead of using Samples A and B. For this lab to wor

k, sodium carbonate was added to make the water samples alkaline. In lakes and streams it is calcium carbonate (CaCO3) that causes alkalinity. Calcium carbonate acts as a buffer, a substance that serves to resist small changes in acidity or alkalinity in a solution. When acid rain enters lake water, it can be neutralized by the bases present and thus the lake does not become too acidic. Since the key ion is the hydroxide ion, the nature of the cation doesn't matter in this case. Right now, pollution workers are measuring calcium carbonate in lakes and streams. If a worker studied two lakes and Lake X had a greater ppm of calcium carbonate than Lake Z, which of the two lakes would be able to withstand a greater amount of acid rain? Explain your answer.

The given above pretty much states already that with the presence of the calcium carbonate which acts as the buffer will allow the solution to withstand changes in acidity. The greater the amount, the higher chances that it will be able to withstand the said changes. Therefore, if Lake X had greater ppm of CaCO3 then, it will be able to withstand greater amount of acid rain.

All molecules are made of similar type of atom true or false​
vichka [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Not all molecules are compounds, since some molecules, such as oxygen gas (above image of molecule of-O2) or ozone (O3), consist only of one element or type of atom. Water is also a molecule because it is made from atoms that have been chemically combined.

Answer the following questions based on the reaction below: NaOH(aq) + KHP(s) --> NaKP(aq)+H2O(I)
Natali [406]

Answer:

<u />

  • <u>a) 1.44g</u>

<u />

  • <u>b) 77.3%</u>

<u />

Explanation:

<u>1. Chemical balanced equation (given)</u>

       NaOH(aq)+ KHP(s)\rightarrow NaKP(aq)+H_2O(l)

<u>2. Mole ratio</u>

1molNaOH(aq):1molKHP(s)

This is, 1 mol of NaOH will reacts with 1 mol of KHP.

<u />

<u>3. Find the number of moles in 72.14 mL of the base</u>

    Molarity=\text{number of moles of solute}/\text{volume of solution in liters}

    \text{Volume of solution}=72.14mL=0.07214liters

     \text{Number of moles of NaOH}=0.0978M\times 0.07214liter=0.007055mol

<u>4. Find the number of grams of KHP that reacted</u>

The number of moles of KHP that reacted is equal to the number of moles of NaOH, 0.007055 mol

Convert moles to grams:

  • mass = number moles × molar mass = 0.007055mol × 204.23g/mol
  • mass = 1.4408 g.

You have to round to 3 significant figures: 1.44 g (because the molarity is given with 3 significant figures).

<u>5. Find the percentage of KHP in the sample</u>

The percentage is how much of the substance is in 100 parts of the sample.

The formula is:

  • % = (mass of substance / mass of sample) × 100

  • % = (1.4408g/ 1.864g) × 100 = 77.3%

Which of the following acids is the WEAKEST? The acid is followed by its Ka value.HF, 3.5 × 10^-4HNO2, 4.6 × 10^-4HCN, 4.9 × 10^
Mila [183]

Answer:

HCN

Explanation:

There are several factors that can tell us when an acid is stronger than another, which are the following:

1. The Polarity of the X - H Bond

2. Size of the X atom.

3. Charge on the acid.

4. Oxidation state of the central atom

5. Values of Ka and pKa.

From all of this factors, we can see that the exercise is already giving us values of Ka, and also we have different types of acid, not only with the form H - X

So, we will base the force of an acid by it's pKa value.

The pKa value which is calculated with the expression:

pKa = -logKa

pKa is a value that indicates how strong is the acid you are working with. This value can vary depending on factors such the charge of the acid. I f this charge can be easily distributed in resonance structures, the compound is more acidic, and therefore the pKa value is lower.

The lower the pKa, the more acidic the compound is.

So calculating the pKa on every structure we have:

HF: pKa = -log(3.5x10^-4) = 3.46

HNO2: pKa = -log(4.6x10^-4) = 3.34

HCN: pKa = -log(4.9x10^-10) = 9.31

HCOOH: pKa = -log(1.8x10^-4) = 3.74

HClO2: -log(1.1x10^-2) = 1.96

So according to all this values, we can conclude that the weakest acid is the HCN
