Bases are iconic compounds that produce negative hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. Bases taste bitter, feel slippery, and conduct electricity when dissolved in water.... Bases turn red litmus paper blue. The strength of bases is measured on the pH scale.
For what? what is your question
Hey there!
Na + H₂O → NaOH + H₂
First, balance O.
One on the left, one on the right. Already balanced.
Next, balance H.
Two on the left, three on the right. Let's add a coefficient of 2 in front of NaOH and a coefficient of 2 in front of H₂O, so we have 4 on each side.
Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂
Lastly, balance Na.
One on the left, two on the right. Add a coefficient of 2 in front of Na.
2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂
This is our final balanced equation.
Hope this helps!
The molarity of the acid given the data from the question is 0.30 M
<h3>Balanced equation </h3>
2HNO₃ + Ba(OH)₂ —> Ba(NO₃)₂ + 2H₂O
From the balanced equation above,
- The mole ratio of the acid, HNO₃ (nA) = 2
- The mole ratio of the base, Ba(NO₃)₂ (nB) = 1
<h3>How to determine the molarity of the acid</h3>
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
- Volume of acid, HNO₃ (Va) = 39.7 mL
- Volume of base, Ba(NO₃)₂ (Vb) = 24 mL
- Molarity of base, Ba(NO₃)₂ (Cb) = 0.250 M
- Molarity of acid, HNO₃ (Ma) =?
MaVa / MbVb = nA / nB
(Ma × 39.7) / (0.25 × 24) = 2
(Ma × 39.7) / 6 = 2
Cross multiply
Ma × 39.7 = 6 × 2
Ma × 39.7 = 12
Divide both side by 39.7
Ma = 12 / 39.7
Ma = 0.30 M
