Answer:

0.66 moles of NaClO were originally added

Explanation:

When NaClO is added to water, the equilibrium that occurs is:

NaClO(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HClO(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Where Kb is:

Kb = [HClO] [OH⁻] / [NaClO]

You can obtain Kb from Ka, thus:

Kb = Kw / Ka = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 3.0x10⁻⁷

Kb = 3.33x10⁻⁸

As pH = 10.50;

pOH = 14 - 10.50 = 3.50

[OH⁻] = 10^{-3.50}

[OH⁻] = 3.16x10⁻⁴M

As OH⁻ and HClO comes from the same equilibrium, [OH⁻] = [HClO]

Replacing in Kb expression:

Kb = [HClO] [OH⁻] / [NaClO]

3.33x10⁻⁸ = [3.16x10⁻⁴] [3.16x10⁻⁴] / [NaClO]

[NaClO] = 0.333M

As there are 2.0L of NaClO solution, moles added were:

2.0L * (0.33moles / L) =

<h3>0.66 moles of NaClO were originally added</h3>

A chemist has some 40% acid solution, some 60% acid solution, and a wholebunch of free time. How many liters of each should be u
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

30 Liters of 40% acid solution and 10 L of 60% acid solution is needed.

Explanation:

Let volume of the 40% acid solution be x.

Let volume of the 60% acid solution be y.

Volume of solution formed after mixing both solution = 40 L

x + y = 40 L..[1]

Volume of acid 40% solution = 40% of x= 0.4x

Volume of acid 60% solution = 60% of y= 0.6y

Volume of acid formed = 45% of 40 L = \frac{45}{100}\times 40=18L

0.4x+0.6y=18 L..[2]

Solving [1] and [2]

x = 30 L  ,   y = 10 L

30 Liters of 40% acid solution and 10 L of 60% acid solution is needed.
