30 mL. The two compounds need to balance each other out.
Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Compressibility means the ability to reduce or compress in size.
In solids, molecules are held together by strong force of attraction. Therefore, it requires very high force or energy to break the bond between the molecules of a solid.
As a result, compressibility of solids is low.
Whereas a hot ionized gas which contains same number of both positive or negatively charged electrons is known as plasma. Being a gas, molecules of plasma are not held by strong force of attractions.
Hence, plasma is compressible as compared to solids.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, the statement compressibility of solids is lower than the compressibility of plasmas and gases is true.
Answer:
12.99
Explanation:
<em>A chemist dissolves 716. mg of pure potassium hydroxide in enough water to make up 130. mL of solution. Calculate the pH of the solution. (The temperature of the solution is 25 °C.) Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em>
Step 1: Given data
- Mass of KOH: 716. mg (0.716 g)
- Volume of the solution: 130. mL (0.130 L)
Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 0.716 g of KOH
The molar mass of KOH is 56.11 g/mol.
0.716 g × 1 mol/56.11 g = 0.0128 mol
Step 3: Calculate the molar concentration of KOH
[KOH] = 0.0128 mol/0.130 L = 0.0985 M
Step 4: Write the ionization reaction of KOH
KOH(aq) ⇒ K⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)
The molar ratio of KOH to OH⁻is 1:1. Then, [OH⁻] = 0.0985 M
Step 5: Calculate the pOH
We will use the following expression.
pOH = -log [OH⁻] = -log 0.0985 = 1.01
Step 6: Calculate the pH
We will use the following expression.
pH + pOH = 14
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 -1.01 = 12.99
Answer:
71 Ga has a naturally abundance of 36%
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
Gallium has 2 naturally occurring isotopes: this means the abundance of the 2 isotopes together is 100 %. The atomic weight of Ga is 69.72 amu. This is the average of all the isotopes.
Since the average mass of 69.72 is closer to the mass of 69 Ga, this means 69 Ga will be more present than 71 Ga
Percentage 69 Ga> Percentage 71 Ga
<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the abundance %
⇒Percentage of 71 Ga = X %
⇒Percentage of 69 Ga = 100 % - X %
The mass balance equation will be:
100*69.72 = x * 71 + (100 - x)*69
6972 = 71x + 6900 -69x
72 = 2x
x = 36 %
71 Ga has a naturally abundance of 36%
69 Ga has a naturally abundance of 64%
