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

1 answer:

4 0

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

Maksim231197 [3]

It uses elimination againLet A be 15% juice and B is 5% juice
A+B = 100.15A + 0.05B = 0.11*10 = 1.1Multiply 2nd equation by 100 to get rid of decimals
A+B = 1015A + 5B = 110

<u>Answer:</u> The net ionic equation is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Net ionic equation of any reaction does not include any spectator ions.

Spectator ions are defined as the ions which does not get involved in a chemical equation. They are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction when it is present in ionic form.

The chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium nitrate and aqueous ammonia (ammonium hydroxide) is given as:

$Mg(NO_3)_2(aq.)+2NH_4OH(aq.)\rightarrow Mg(OH)_2(s)+2NH_4NO_3(aq.)$

A white precipitate of magnesium hydroxide is formed in the above reaction.

Ionic form of the above equation follows:

$Mg^{2+}(aq.)+2NO_3^-(aq.)+2NH_4^+(aq.)+2OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow Mg(OH)_2(s)+2NH_4^+(aq.)+2NO_3^-(aq.)$

As, ammonium and nitrate ions are present on both the sides of the reaction. Thus, it will not be present in the net ionic equation and are spectator ions.

The net ionic equation for the above reaction follows:

$Mg^{2+}(aq.)+2OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow Mg(OH)_2(s)$

Hence, the net ionic equation is written above.

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

half-life = 3.8 days

total time of decay = 15.2 days

initial amount = 100. g

number of half-lives past: 15.2/3.8 = 4 half-lives

4 half-lives = 1/16 remains

100. g x 1/16 = 6.25 g
