garik1379 [7]

Answer:

a) The relationship at equivalence is that 1 mole of phosphoric acid will need three moles of sodium hydroxide.

b) 0.0035 mole

c)  0.166 M

Explanation:

Phosphoric acid is tripotic because it has 3 acidic hydrogen atom surrounding it.

The equation of the reaction is expressed as:

H_3PO_4 \ + \ 3NaOH -----> Na_3 PO_4 \ + \ 3H_2O

1 mole         3 mole

The relationship at equivalence is that 1 mole of phosphoric acid will need three moles of sodium hydroxide.

b)  if 10.00 mL of a phosphoric acid solution required the addition of 17.50 mL of a 0.200 M NaOH(aq) to reach the endpoint; Then the molarity of the solution is calculated as follows

H_3PO_4 \ + \ 3NaOH -----> Na_3 PO_4 \ + \ 3H_2O

10 ml            17.50 ml

(x) M              0.200 M

Molarity = \frac{0.2*17.5}{1000}

= 0.0035 mole

c) What was the molar concentration of phosphoric acid in the original stock solution?

By stoichiometry, converting moles of NaOH to H₃PO₄; we have

= 0.0035 \ mole \ of NaOH* \frac{1 mole of H_3PO_4}{3 \ mole \ of \ NaOH}

= 0.00166 mole of H₃PO₄

Using the molarity equation to determine the molar concentration of phosphoric acid in the original stock solution; we have:

Molar Concentration =  \frac{mole \ \ of \ soulte }{ Volume \ of \ solution }

Molar Concentration = \frac{0.00166 \ mole \ of \  H_3PO_4 }{10}*1000

Molar Concentration = 0.166 M

∴  the molar concentration of phosphoric acid in the original stock solution = 0.166 M

Calculate the mols for 4.2g of a Mg<br>​
hjlf

Answer:

0.175mol

Explanation:

Mole of a substance can be calculated using the formula as follows:

number of moles (n) = mass (m) ÷ molar mass (MM)

According to this question, there are 4.2g of Magnesium (Mg).

Molar mass of Magnesium = 24g/mol, hence, the number of moles of 4.2g of Mg is as follows:

n = 4.2g ÷ 24g/mol

n = 0.175mol

Which of the following is the correctly balanced chemical equation for the reaction of Ca(OH)2 and HNO3?
sattari [20]

Explanation:

The reaction between calcium hydroxide and nitric acid is as follows.

  Ca(OH)_{2} + HNO_{3} \rightarrow Ca(NO_{3})_{2} + H_{2}O

Number of reactant atoms are as follows.

  • Ca = 1
  • O = 4
  • H = 3
  • N = 1

Number of product atoms are as follows.

  • Ca = 1
  • O = 4
  • H = 2
  • N = 3

To balance the given chemical equation, multiply HNO_{3} by 2 on reactant side and multiply H_{2}O by 2 on the product side.

Therefore, the balanced chemical equation will be as follows.

    Ca(OH)_{2} + 2HNO_{3} \rightarrow Ca(NO_{3})_{2} + 2H_{2}O

If a sodium ion (Na+) has a positive charge and loses an electron when combined with chlorine, will the sodium atom become a new
Alina [70]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

loss of electron doesn't affect the element.

only change in proton number can, as we notice in nuclear chemistry.
