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

A geometric isomer with two alkyl groups on the same side of the carbon-carbon double bond is called
grandymaker [24]
Answer:
             <span>A geometric isomer with two alkyl groups on the same side of the carbon-carbon double bond is called <em>cis</em> Isomer.

Explanation:
                   Geometric isomerism takes place about the double bond in alkenes when the alkyl groups are either situated at the same side (<em>cis</em>) or are situated opposite (<em>trans</em>) to each other.

Example:
               <em>cis</em>-2-Butene (highlighted red)

               <em>trans</em>-2-Butene (highlighted blue)</span>

The unknown ionic compound gave a red flame test, NR with ammonium carbonate, and a red/orange halide test. What is the unknown
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, however, the unknown compound can be inferred to be "Lithium Bromide"

Explanation:

The unknown compound firstly is said to be an ionic compound. An ionic/electrovalent compound is a compound in which it's constituent ions transfer/receive electron(s). They are mostly made of group 1 and group 7 elements. Examples include NaCl, NaF, LiF and KCl.

Also, the ion (metallic ion) that produces a red flame test colour in a flame test is the <u>Lithium ion (Li⁺).</u> Also, when dissolved in water or hexane, the only halogen that produces a red/orange colour is bromine. Hence, the unknown ionic compound can be inferred to be Lithium Bromide.
