Answer:

87.9%

Explanation:

Balanced Chemical Equation:

HCl + NaOH = NaCl + H2O

We are Given:

Mass of H2O = 9.17 g

Mass of HCl = 21.1 g

Mass of NaOH = 43.6 g

First, calculate the moles of both HCl and NaOH:

Moles of HCl: 21.1 g of HCl x 1 mole of HCl/36.46 g of HCl = 0.579 moles

Moles of NaOH: 43.6 g of NaOH x 1 mole of NaOH/40.00 g of NaOH = 1.09 moles

Here you calculate the mole of H2O from the moles of both HCl and NaOH using the balanced chemical equation:

Moles of H2O from the moles of HCl: 0.579 moles of HCl x 1 mole of H2O/1 mole of HCl = 0.579 moles

Moles of H2O from the moles of NaOH: 1.09 moles of HCl x 1 mole of H2O/1 mole of NaOH = 1.09 moles

From the calculations above, we can see that the limiting reagent is HCl because it produced the lower amount of moles of H2O. Therefore, we use 0.579 moles and NOT 1.09 moles to calculate the mass of H2O:

Mass of H2O: 0.579 moles of H2O x 18.02 g of H2O/1 mole of H2O = 10.43 g

% yield of H2O = actual yield/theoretical yield x 100= 9.17 g/10.43 g x 100 = 87.9%

Which of the following would have the highest buffer capacity?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

1.25 M HCO₃⁻ / 1.25 M CO₃²⁻

Explanation:

Buffer capacity refers to the amount of a strong acid or base required per liter of the buffer to change its pH by one. This amount is directly related to the concentration of the conjugate acid-base pair in the buffer since the buffer pair neutralizes the strong acid or base.

Thus, the highest buffer capacity is found in the solution that has the highest concentration of the conjugate acid-base pair, which is 1.25 M HCO₃⁻ / 1.25 M CO₃²⁻ .

If you can smell your grandmother’s perfume from across the room, you are experiencing the result of which liquid property?
cestrela7 [59]
The appropriate answer is D. volatility. Volatility refers to the susceptibility of liquids to vaporize. Perfume is liquid when applied but because of volatility, it has a tendency to vaporize and so it will convert to a gas and diffuse across the room. The process by which a liquid changes to a vapor is called evaporation.
