Answer:

(i) Ba(OH)2 + 2 HNO3 → Ba(NO3)2 + 2 H2O

(ii) 121.392 mL of HNO3 0.125M are required to react completely with the Ba(OH)2 solution.

(iii) The molarity of the Ba(OH)2 solution is 0.0303 M

(iv) Bromothymol Blue (pH range 6.0 - 7.6)

(v) pH of the soultion would be 2.446

Explanation:

(i) First of all, to solve this problem we should write the balanced chemical equation to know the stoichiometry of the reaction:

Ba(OH)2 + HNO3 → Ba(NO3)2 + H2O

The previous reaction simply describes the reactants and products involved in the chemical process. As you can see, the mass balance is not balanced because the quantity of atoms in the reactants side of the equation is not equal to the ones in the products side. So we try to add coefficients to the reaction in order to balance the amount of atoms on both sides of the reaction. To to this, we take a look at the reaction: We see that the main product formed Ba(NO3)2 has 2 atoms of N, so we add a number 2 besides the HNO3 to equal the quantity of Nitrogen atoms:

Ba(OH)2 + 2 HNO3 → Ba(NO3)2 + H2O

Now, we can see that from the reactants side of the equation there are 8 atoms of Oxygen and in the products side we only have 7. Hence, we add the number 2 besides the molecule of water:

Ba(OH)2 + 2 HNO3 → Ba(NO3)2 + 2 H2O

If we check the situation now, we can observe that all the atoms are balanced on both sides of the reaction, so We did it!

(ii) From the balanced equation we now know that 1 mole of Ba(OH)2 reacts with 2 moles of HNO3 to form the stated products. Let's see, therefore, how many moles of Ba(OH)2 are in solution:

According to the molar mass of Ba(OH)2: 1 mole = 171.34 g

So, the student add 1.3 g of the compound to water. This means that he added 7.587x10-3 moles of Ba(OH)2. This amount of Ba(OH)2 will react with 0.01517 moles of HNO3 taking into account the stoichiometry of the balanced equation described above (1 mol of Ba(OH)2 reacts with 2 moles of HNO3).

Now that we know the amount of moles of acid required to react with the hydroxide, we need to translate this moles into volume of acid solution:

We have a 0.125 M HNO3 solution. This means that there are 0.125 moles of HNO3 in 1000 ml of solution.

0.125 moles HNO3 ------ 1000 ml Solution

0.01517 moles --------- x = 121.392 ml HNO3 Solution

This means that we need 121.392 ml of a 0.125 M HNO3 solution to react completely with the Ba(OH)2 added by the student.

(iii) Now we are asked to calculate the molarity of the Ba(OH)2 solution. From the calculations performed before in point (ii) we know that the hydroxide solution consisted of 7.587x10-3 moles of Ba(OH)2 and that this quantity of moles were in 250 mL of water. So:

250 ml Solution ----- 7.587 x10-3 moles Ba(OH)2

1000 ml Solution ----- x = 0.0303 M

(iv) Since Ba(OH)2 and HNO3 are both strong base and acid respectively, they react with each other completely to form the salt Ba(NO3)2 and water. Therefore, the pH of the solution when the reactions ends will be neutral or nearly neutral (pH = 7) and because of this we need an indicator that would change its color around this pH to be able to visualize the end point of the titration. The Bromothymol blue serves this perfectly since its change in color ranges between pH 6.0 and 7.6.

(v) If we now calculate how many moles of HNO3 are present in 150 mL of a 0.125 M solution we obtain:

1000 mL solution ---- 0.125 moles HNO3

150 mL solution ------ x = 0.01875 moles.

From this, we know that if we add 150 mL of the acid solution we would have 0.01875 moles of HNO3. However, from the previous points, we know that 0.01517 moles of the compound will be consumed by the reaction with Ba(OH)2 leaving in solution only 3.58 x10-3 moles of HNO3 (0.01875 moles - 0.01517 moles).

This amount of HNO3 will dissociate according to the following equation:

HNO3 → H+ + NO3-

The amount of protons present in solution will determine the pH. Because, as we said before, Nitric acid is a strong acid, it will dissociate completely intro protons and nitrate. As a result of this, we would have 3.58 x10-3 moles of H+ in the solution (1 mole of HNO3 produces 1 mole of H+) and considering the contribution of protons in the solution given by the dissociation of the water negligible, then:

pH = - log [H+]

pH = - log [3.58 x10-3] = 2.446

Answer:

It was the last element first discovered in nature, rather than by synthesis. Outside the laboratory, francium is extremely rare, with trace amounts found in uranium and thorium ores, where the isotope francium-223 continually forms and decays

Calculate the ratio of naf to hf required to create a buffer with ph = 4.05.
NARA [144]
PH is the test of acidity or basicity of a solution. it follows the formula: 
pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid] where NaF is the salt and HF is the acid in this case. 

By literature, Ka of HF is 3.5*10^-4 
<span>pKa= -log(Ka)=</span><span> 3.46 </span>

<span>pH = pKa + log [NaF / [HF] </span>

4.05 = 3.46 + log [NaF / [HF] 

log [NaF / [HF]<span> = 0.59
</span>
[NaF / [HF] = 3.89

One of these notations represents the definition of one mole. That is
just olya [345]

Answer:

6.02*10^23

Explanation:

This is the number for one mole. Just like one dozen = 12, one mole = 6.02*10^23.

Fun fact, if you had a mole of pennies you could spend 1 million dollars every second of your life and not have even spent 1% of it by the time you die at 100 years old.

Determina el numero de masa para el paladio en la siguiente tabla:*
Damm [24]

The concept of atomic masses we can find that the correct answer is:

       c) 101

The atomic mass or mass number of an element is the sum of its protons plus the neutrons that are in the atomic nucleus, the electrons are not taken into account because they have a mass much lower than the masses of protons and neutrons.

   

In the table they indicate that there are 46 protons and 55 neutrons, therefore

          M = #_ {protons} + #_ {neutrons}

          M = 46 +55

          M = 101

In conclusion using the concept of atomic masses we find that the correct answer is:

c) 101
