Answer:

pH= 12

Explanation:

Potassium hydroxide (KOH) is a strong base, so it dissociates completely in water by giving OH⁻ anions as follows:

KOH⇒ K⁺ + OH⁻

Since dissociation is complete, it is assumed that the concentration of OH⁻ is equal to the initial concentration of KOH:

[OH⁻]= [KOH]

In order to find the initial concentration of KOH, we have to divide the mass (0.140 g) into the molecular weight of KOH (Mw):

Mw (KOH)= K + O + H = 39 g/mol + 16 g/mol + 1 g/mol = 56 g/mol

moles KOH: mass/Mw= 0.140 g/(56 g/mol) = 2.5 x 10⁻³ moles

The molality of the solution is the number of moles of KOH per liter of solution:

V= 250.0 ml x 1 L/1000 ml= 0.250 L

M = (2.5 x 10⁻³moles)/(0.250 L)= 0.01 M

Now, we calculate pOH:

pOH = -log [OH⁻]= - log [KOH]= -log (0.01) = 2

Finally, we calculate pH from pOH:

pH + pOH = 14

⇒pH = 14 - pOH= 14 -2 = 12

Predict the sign of the entropy change,Delta S, for each of the following reactions:The signs are either going to be pos or nega
algol [13]

Answer: a) Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)\rightarrow PbCl_2(s):  negative

b)  CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g) : positive

c) 2NH_3(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+3H_2(g): positive.

d) P_4(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow P_4O_{10}(s) : negative

e) C_4H_8(g)+6O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g):  positive.

f) I_2(s)\rightarrow I_2(g) : positive.

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from  an ordered arrangement to a disordered arrangement, the entropy is said to decrease and vice versa.

\Delta S is positive when randomness increases and \Delta S is negative when randomness decreases.

a) Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)\rightarrow PbCl_2(s)

As ions are moving to solid form , randomness decreases and thus sign of \Delta S is negative.

b) CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g)

As solid is changing to gas, randomness increases and thus sign of \Delta S is positive.

c) 2NH_3(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+3H_2(g)

As 2 moles of reactants are converted to 4 moles of products , randomness increases and thus sign of \Delta S is positive.

d) P_4(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow P_4O_{10}(s)

As gas is changing to solid, randomness decreases and thus sign of \Delta S is negative.

e) C_4H_8(g)+6O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)

As 7 moles of reactants are converted to 8 moles of products , randomness increases and thus sign of \Delta S is positive.

f) I_2(s)\rightarrow I_2(g)

As solid is changing to gas, randomness increases and thus sign of \Delta S is positive.
