Answer:

A) The number of gerbils you feed

Explanation:

If you wanted to test whether eating candy made gerbils fat you would need to fluctuate the amount of candy each group receives to observe whether there was any differnce in weight

Calculate the pH for each of the following cases in the titration of 50.0 mL of 0.210 M HClO(aq) with 0.210 M KOH(aq).
Degger [83]
a) before addition of any KOH : 

when we use the Ka equation & Ka = 4 x 10^-8 : 

Ka = [H+]^2 / [ HCIO]

by substitution:

4 x 10^-8 = [H+]^2 / 0.21

[H+]^2 = (4 x 10^-8) * 0.21

           = 8.4 x 10^-9

[H+] = √(8.4 x 10^-9)

       = 9.2 x 10^-5 M

when PH = -㏒[H+]

   PH = -㏒(9.2 x 10^-5)

        = 4  

b)After addition of 25 mL of KOH: this produces a buffer solution 

So, we will use Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to get PH:

PH = Pka +㏒[Salt]/[acid]


first, we have to get moles of HCIO= molarity * volume

                                                           =0.21M * 0.05L

                                                           = 0.0105 moles

then, moles of KOH = molarity * volume 

                                  = 0.21 * 0.025

                                  =0.00525 moles 

∴moles HCIO remaining = 0.0105 - 0.00525 = 0.00525

and when the total volume is = 0.05 L + 0.025 L =  0.075 L

So the molarity of HCIO = moles HCIO remaining / total volume

                                        = 0.00525 / 0.075

                                        =0.07 M

and molarity of KCIO = moles KCIO / total volume

                                    = 0.00525 / 0.075

                                    = 0.07 M

and when Ka = 4 x 10^-8 

∴Pka =-㏒Ka

         = -㏒(4 x 10^-8)

         = 7.4 

by substitution in H-H equation:

PH = 7.4 + ㏒(0.07/0.07)

∴PH = 7.4 

c) after addition of 35 mL of KOH:

we will use the H-H equation again as we have a buffer solution:

PH = Pka + ㏒[salt/acid]

first, we have to get moles HCIO = molarity * volume 

                                                        = 0.21 M * 0.05L

                                                        = 0.0105 moles

then moles KOH = molarity * volume
                            =  0.22 M* 0.035 L 

                            =0.0077 moles 

∴ moles of HCIO remaining = 0.0105 - 0.0077=  8 x 10^-5

when the total volume = 0.05L + 0.035L = 0.085 L

∴ the molarity of HCIO = moles HCIO remaining / total volume 

                                      = 8 x 10^-5 / 0.085

                                      = 9.4 x 10^-4 M

and the molarity of KCIO = moles KCIO / total volume

                                          = 0.0077M / 0.085L

                                          = 0.09 M

by substitution:

PH = 7.4 + ㏒( 0.09 /9.4 x 10^-4)

∴PH = 8.38

D)After addition of 50 mL:

from the above solutions, we can see that 0.0105 mol HCIO reacting with 0.0105 mol KOH to produce 0.0105 mol KCIO which dissolve in 0.1 L (0.5L+0.5L) of the solution.

the molarity of KCIO = moles KCIO / total volume

                                   = 0.0105mol / 0.1 L

                                   = 0.105 M

when Ka = KW / Kb

∴Kb = 1 x 10^-14 / 4 x 10^-8

       = 2.5 x 10^-7

by using Kb expression:

Kb = [CIO-] [OH-] / [KCIO]

when [CIO-] =[OH-] so we can substitute by [OH-] instead of [CIO-]

Kb = [OH-]^2 / [KCIO] 

2.5 x 10^-7 = [OH-]^2 /0.105

∴[OH-] = 0.00016 M

POH = -㏒[OH-]

∴POH = -㏒0.00016

           = 3.8
∴PH = 14- POH

        =14 - 3.8

PH = 10.2

e) after addition 60 mL of KOH:

when KOH neutralized all the HCIO so, to get the molarity of KOH solution

M1*V1= M2*V2

 when M1 is the molarity of KOH solution

V1 is the total volume = 0.05 + 0.06 = 0.11 L

M2 = 0.21 M 

V2 is the excess volume added  of KOH = 0.01L

so by substitution:

M1 * 0.11L = 0.21*0.01L

∴M1 =0.02 M

∴[KOH] = [OH-] = 0.02 M

∴POH = -㏒[OH-]

           = -㏒0.02 

           = 1.7

∴PH = 14- POH

       = 14- 1.7 

      = 12.3

According to collision theory, the rate of reaction depends on atoms colliding in the correct _________ with enough ________ for
kenny6666 [7]

Answer: orientation , energy , frequency

Explanation:

According to the collision theory , the number of collisions that take place per unit volume of the reaction mixture is called collision frequency. The effective collisions are ones which result into the formation of products.

Effective collisions depends on the following  two factors:-

1. Orientation factor: The colliding molecules must have proper orientation at the time of collision to result into formation of products.

2. Energy factor:  For collision to be effective,  the colliding molecules must have energy more than a particular value called as threshold energy.
