19. Why should all measurements be done multiple times?

Chemistry

Alja [10]3 years ago

Answer:

Increasing precision with multiple measurements

Explanation:

The more measurements you take (provided there is no problem with the clock!), the better your estimate will be. Taking multiple measurements also allows you to better estimate the uncertainty in your measurements by checking how reproducible the measurements are.

Answer:

All measurements should be done twice to absolutely make sure that you have the correct measurement and  to avoid any mistakes if you are like building lets say a table or doing a equation. The saying is measure twice cut once

The final volume of buffer solution must be 100.00 mL and the final concentration of the weak acid must be 0.100 M. Based on thi
Grace [21]

Answer:

0.387 g

Explanation:

pH of the buffer = 1

V = Volume of solution = 100 mL

[HA] = Molarity of HA = 0.1 M

K_a = Acid dissociation constant = 1.2\times 10^{-2}

(assuming base as Na_2SO_410H_2O)

Molar mass of base = 322.2 g/mol

pKa is given by

pK_a=-\log K_a\\\Rightarrow pKa=-\log(1.2\times 10^{-2})\\\Rightarrow pK_a=1.92

From the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation we get

pH=pK_a+\log\dfrac{[A^-]}{[HA]}\\\Rightarrow pH-pK_a=\log\dfrac{[A^-]}{[HA]}\\\Rightarrow 10^{pH-pK_a}=\dfrac{[A^-]}{[HA]}\\\Rightarrow [A^-]=10^{pH-pK_a}[HA]\\\Rightarrow [A^-]=10^{1-1.92}\times0.1\\\Rightarrow [A^-]=0.01202\ \text{M}

Moles of base

0.01202\times100\times\dfrac{1}{10^3}=0.001202\ \text{moles}

Mass of base is given by

0.001202\times 322.2=0.387\ \text{g}

The required mass of the base is 0.387 g.

What gets reduced in an electrolytic cell made with nickel and copper electrodes?
jekas [21]

Answer:

D. Ni²⁺  

Explanation:

We know at once that the answer cannot be A or C, because Ni and Cu are already in their lowest oxidation states.

The correct answer must be either B or D.

An electrolytic cell is the opposite of a galvanic cell. In the former, the reaction proceeds spontaneously. In the latter, you must force the reaction to occur.  

One strategy to solve this problem is:

  1. Look up the standard reduction potentials for the half reaction·
  2. Figure out the spontaneous direction.
  3. Write the equation in the reverse direction.

1. Standard reduction potentials

                                E°/V

Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Cu; 0.3419

Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Ni;  -0.257

2. Galvanic Cell

We reverse the direction of the more negative half cell and add.

                                       <u>E°/V </u>

Ni ⟶ Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻;           0.257

<u>Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Cu;      </u>   0.3419

Ni + Cu²⁺ ⟶ Cu + Ni²⁺; 0.599

This is the spontaneous direction.

Cu²⁺ is reduced to Cu.

3. Electrochemical cell

                                        <u>E°/V</u>

Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Ni;           -0.257

<u>Cu ⟶ Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻;        </u> <u>-0.3419</u>

Cu + Ni²⁺ ⟶ Ni + Cu²⁺; -0.599

This is the non-spontaneous direction.

Ni²⁺ is reduced to Ni in the electrolytic cell.
