Imagine it took 300 mL of 0.1 M LiOH to reach the first equivalence point and an additional 300 mL of 0.1 M LiOH (600 mL total)

to reach the second equivalence point. How many moles of H2 were in the original acid solution

Answer:

0.03 mol H₂

Explanation:

In a diprotic acid titration, the first equivalence point relates to the equilibrium:

  • H₂A + OH⁻ ↔ HA⁻ + H₂O

And the second equivalence point to:

  • HA⁻ + OH⁻   ↔ A⁻² + H₂O

We can add those two equations and we're left with:

  • H₂A + 2OH ⁻ ↔ A⁻² + 2H₂O

So to calculate the moles of H₂ that were in the original acid solution <u>we use the total volume used</u> (in this case 600 mL).

600 mL ⇒ 600/1000 = 0.6 L

We <u>calculate the moles of LiOH</u>, using its molar concentration:

  • 0.1 M * 0.6 L = 0.06 mol LiOH

And now we <u>convert moles of LiOH (or OH⁻) to moles of H₂ </u>using the  stoichiometric ratio:

  • 0.06 mol LiOH * \frac{1molH_{2}A}{2molLiOH} = 0.03 mol H₂

What is the concentration of an unknown Mg(OH)2 solution if it took an average of 15.4mL of
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

0.077M

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

2HCl + Mg(OH)2 —> MgCl2 + 2H2O

From the balanced equation above,

The mole ratio of the acid (nA) = 2

The mole ratio of the base (nB) = 1

Step 2:

Data obtained from the question.

Concentration of base Cb =...?

Volume of base (Vb) = 10mL

Concentration of acid (Ca) = 0.1M

Volume of acid (Va) = 15.4mL

Step 3:

Determination of the concentration of the base, Mg(OH)2.

The concentration of the base can be obtained as follow:

CaVa/CbVb = nA/nB

0.1 x 15.4 /Cb x 10 = 2/1

Cross multiply to express in linear form

Cb x 10 x 2 = 0.1 x 15.4

Divide both side by 10 x 2

Cb = (0.1 x 15.4) /(10 x 2)

Cb = 0.077M

Therefore, the concentration of the base, Mg(OH)2 is 0.077M

Methanol (ch3oh) can be made by the reaction of co with h2: co(g)+2h2(g)⇌ch3oh(g) to maximize the equilibrium yield of methanol,
BlackZzzverrR [31]
The enthalpy of the creation of Methanol is negative. This means heat is released when the reaction proceeds. You would want to use a low temperature.

How does insulin bind to cells and the mechanism involved in triggering the cells to take in glucose
Lera25 [3.4K]

Explanation:

Once blood glucose levels increase, pancreatic insulin migrates into a fat cell via the blood stream. Insulin then binds in the plasma membrane of the cell to an Insulin Receptor (IR). Through autophosphorylation, phosphate groups are then added to the IR,  causing GLUT4 molecules to come to the cell's surface.
