What is the pH of a solution that contains 25 grams of hydrochloric acid (hcl) dissolved in 1.5 liters of water?

First we calculate the concentration of HCl:

Moles = mass / Mr
= 25 / 36.5
= 0.685 mol

Concentration = 0.685/1.5 = 0.457 mol / dm³

For a strong monoprotic acid, the concentration of hydrogen ions is equal to the acid concentration.

pH = -log[H+]
pH = -log(0.457)
= 0.34

How did agre use a simple osmosis experiment to prove the function of aquaporin?

ElenaW [278]

<span>Agre tested his hypothesis in a simple experiment where he compared cells which contained the protein in question with cells which did not have it. The trials were ran with artificial cells, liposomes, which are a type of soap bubble. He found that the liposomes became permeable if the protein was planted inside of the membrane.</span>

Answer : The final equilibrium temperature of the water and iron is, 537.12 K

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

$q_1=-q_2$

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)$

where,

$c_1$ = specific heat of iron = 560 J/(kg.K)

$c_1$ = specific heat of water = 4186 J/(kg.K)

$m_1$ = mass of iron = 825 g

$m_2$ = mass of water = 40 g

$T_f$ = final temperature of water and iron = ?

$T_1$ = initial temperature of iron = $352^oC=273+352=625K$

$T_2$ = initial temperature of water = $20^oC=273+20=293K$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$(825\times 10^{-3}kg)\times 560J/(kg.K)\times (T_f-625K)=-(40\times 10^{-3}kg)\times 4186J/(kg.K)\times (T_f-293K)$

$T_f=537.12K$

Therefore, the final equilibrium temperature of the water and iron is, 537.12 K
