Answer: Potassium hydroxide, KOH, is considered a <u>BASE</u> in an acid-base reaction because it <u>ACCEPTS</u> a hydrogen ion from the other reactant.

According to Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, Base is a specie which accepts proton (H⁺) while, Acid is a specie which donate proton.

Bases
may contain a negative charge or lone pair of electrons, while, Acids contain positive charge or a neutral atom with incomplete octet.

In given statement KOH is acting as a base because it contains a negatively charged hydroxyl group which can accept proton from a acid, i.e.

                                    KOH    →     K⁺  +  OH⁻

Reaction of OH⁻ with any acid,

                         K⁺    +   OH⁻  +   HCl      →       H₂O   +   KCl

What is the mass, in g, of 27.2 mol of N? Be sure to answer all parts. Enter your answer in scientific notation. x 10 (select) A
svp [43]

Explanation:

It is known that number of moles of a substance equal to mass divided by its molar mass.

Mathematically,         No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

It is given that no. of oles present are 27.2 mol and molar mass of N is 14 g/mol.

Therefore, calculate mass of N as follows.

                 No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                       27.2 mol = \frac{mass}{14 g/mol}

                      mass = 380.8 g

Thus, we can conclude that mass of N is 380.8 g.

A flask is filled with 50.0 ml of 0.15 M HCl acid. Exactly 0.054 grams of CaCo3 are placed in the acid,
ira [324]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

2HCl(aq) + CaCO3(aq) ------->CaCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)

Number of moles of acid present = 50/1000 * 0.15 = 0.0075 moles

Number of moles of calcium carbonate = 0.054g/100 g/mol = 0.00054 moles

2 moles of HCl reacts with 1 mole of calcium carbonate

x moles of HCl reacts with 0.00054 moles of calcium carbonate

x = 2 *  0.00054/1

x = 0.00108 moles of HCl

Amount of acid left = 0.0075 moles - 0.0075 moles = 0.00642 moles

Reaction of HCl and NaOH

HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) ------> NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

Since the reaction is in the mole ratio of 1:1

0.00642 moles of HCl is neutralized by 0.00642 moles of NaOH

If a weak acid is 25% deprotonated at ph 4, what is the pka?if a weak acid is 25% deprotonated at ph 4, what is the pka?
Oksanka [162]
4.48
pH=pKa+log([A-/HA])

25% deprotonated tells us that A- is .25 and that the rest (75% is protonated) thats .75.

4 = pKa + log\frac{.25}{.75}
4 - log\frac{.25}{.75} = pKa
4.48=pKa
