They are compressed so that a larger amount of gas can be stored in a smaller container. A greater mass confined to a smaller volume makes transporting and storing of gases easier. Increasing temperature increases pressure, and the cylinders might explode. Before compressed oxygen can be breathed, it must be decompressed.

Answer:  Large Amount of gas can be stored in the small container

Explanation:  Gases such as oxygen found in tanks used as hospitals are compressed because on compressing the gas, its volume decreases which will help to store large amount of gas.

This large amount can be stored in the small container.

Care must be taken as temperature should be not increased because as temperature will increase, pressure will also increase and this could lead to the explosion of the cylinder . Thus preventive measures must be taken.

Find the pH of the equivalence point and the volume (mL) of 0.0372 M NaOH needed to reach the equivalence point in the titration
elixir [45]

Answer:

8.54

Explanation:

At equivalence point :  

42.2 X 0.052 = Vol. NaOH X 0.0372

Vol of NaOH = 2.1944/0.0372 = 58.99 ml

So volume of NaOH recquired to reach equivalence point = 58.99 ml

Number of miliimoles of CH3COOH = molarity X volume in ml = 42.2 X 0.052             = 2.1944 millimoles

Number of millimoles of NaOH = 58.99 X 0.0372 = 2.1944

Now CH₃COOH and NaOH reacts to give CH₃COONa according to the reaction :

CH₃COOH + NaOH ------> CH₃COONa + H₂O

1 mole of CH₃COOH reacts with 1 mole of NaOH to give 1 mole of CH₃COONa  

So 2.1944 millimoles of CH₃COOH will react with 2.1944 millimoles of NaOH to give 2.1944 millimoles of CH₃COONa

So all the acid (CH₃COOH) and base (NaOH) has been converted into salt (CH₃COONa) so there is no acid or base left.

Now molarity of CH₃COONa = number of millimoles of CH₃COONa/total volume in ml = 2.1944/(58.99 + 42.2) = 2.1944/101.19 = 0.02169 M

So using the hydrolysis equation :  

pH = 1/2 [ pKw + pKa + log c ]  

Ka for acetic acid = 1.75 X 10⁻⁵  

so pKa = -log (1.75 X 10⁻⁵) = 4.74  

Kw = 10⁻¹⁴

so pKw = -log 10⁻¹⁴ = 14

c = 0.02169  

so log c = log 0.02169 = -1.66  

putting the values....  

pH = 1/2 [14 + 4.74 - 1.66 ]  

pH = 1/2 [ 17.08] = 8.54
