Answer:

We have the final answer as

<h2>7.14 %</h2>

Explanation:

The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula

P(\%) =  \frac{error}{actual \:  \: number}  \times 100\% \\

From the question

actual density = 5.6 g/mL

error = 5.6 - 5.2 = 0.4

The percentage error is

P(\%) =  \frac{0.4}{5.6}  \times 100 \\  = 7.142857...

We have the final answer as

<h3>7.14 %</h3>

Hope this helps you

Acetic acid is a weak acid with a pKa of 4.76. What is the concentration of acetic acid in a buffer solution of 0.2M at pH 4.9.
masya89 [10]

Answer:

0.084 M

Explanation:

Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for a buffer ( a buffer is solution contain a weak acid and it conjugate base; the solution resist change in pH)

pH = pKa + log ( base/acid)

4.9 - 4.76 =log ( base / acid)

10^0.14 =  ( base / acid)

1.38 = (base / acid)

since there is 0.2 M in the buffer solution

the concentration of acid =  \frac{1}{(1+1.38)} × 0.2 = 0.084 M

Which is the limiting reactant if we start with 30.0 g Al and 30.0 h O2​
lorasvet [3.4K]

Al

Explanation:

The limiting reactant will be Al:

        4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃

The limiting reactant is the reactant in short supply in a chemical reaction.

     Given parameters:

  Mass of Al = 30g  Molar mass = 27g/mol

         Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass} =  \frac{30}{27}

         Number of moles of Al = 1.111 mole

  Mass of O₂ = 30g, molar mass = 32g/mol

   Number of moles =  \frac{30}{32} = 0.94mol

In the reaction:

          4 moles of Al reacted with 3 moles of O₂

         1.11moles of Al will require \frac{1.11 x3}{4} = 0.83mole to react

But we have been given 0.94mole of O₂. This is more than required.

Therefore O₂ is in excess and Al is the limiting reactant.

How many grams of ag can be formed from 5.50 grams of ag2o in the equation: 2ag2o (s) → 4ag (s) o2 (g)?
oee [108]

From the given balanced equation we have find out the amount (in gm) of Ag formed from 5.50 gm of Ag₂O.

2Ag₂O(s) → 4Ag (s) + O₂ (g)

We know, molecular mass of Ag₂O= 231.7 g/mol, and atomic mass of Ag= 107.8 g/mol. Given, mass of Ag₂O=5.50 gm. Number moles of Ag₂O=\frac{5.50}{231.7}= 0.0237 moles.

From the balanced chemical reaction we get 2 (two) moles of Ag₂O produces 4 (four) moles of Ag. So, 0.0237 moles of Ag₂O produces \frac{4X0.0237}{2} moles=0.0474 moles of Ag= 0.0474 X 107.8 g of Ag=5.11g Ag.

Therefore, 5.50 g Ag₂O produces 5.11 g of Ag as per the given balanced chemical reaction.

How many liters of 15.0 molar NaOH stock solution will be needed to make 17.5 liters of a 1.4 molar NaOH solution? Show the work
strojnjashka [21]
2.0 L
The key to any dilution calculation is the dilution factor

The dilution factor essentially tells you how concentrated the stock solution was compared with the diluted solution.

In your case, the dilution must take you from a concentrated hydrochloric acid solution of 18.5 M to a diluted solution of 1.5 M, so the dilution factor must be equal to

DF=18.5M1.5M=12.333

So, in order to decrease the concentration of the stock solution by a factor of 12.333, you must increase its volume by a factor of 12.333by adding water.

The volume of the stock solution needed for this dilution will be

DF=VdilutedVstock⇒Vstock=VdilutedDF

Plug in your values to find

Vstock=25.0 L12.333=2.0 L−−−−−

The answer is rounded to two sig figs, the number of significant figures you have for the concentration od the diluted solution.

So, to make 25.0 L of 1.5 M hydrochloric acid solution, take 2.0 L of 18.5 M hydrochloric acid solution and dilute it to a final volume of 25.0 L.

IMPORTANT NOTE! Do not forget that you must always add concentrated acid to water and not the other way around!

In this case, you're working with very concentrated hydrochloric acid, so it would be best to keep the stock solution and the water needed for the dilution in an ice bath before the dilution.

Also, it would be best to perform the dilution in several steps using smaller doses of stock solution. Don't forget to stir as you're adding the acid!

So, to dilute your solution, take several steps to add the concentrated acid solution to enough water to ensure that the final is as close to 25.0 L as possible. If you're still a couple of milliliters short of the target volume, finish the dilution by adding water.

Always remember

Water to concentrated acid →.NO!

Concentrated acid to water →.YES!
