Answer:
A. 0.143 M
B. 0.0523 M
Explanation:
A.
Let's consider the neutralization reaction between potassium hydroxide and potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP).
KOH + KHC₈H₄O₄ → H₂O + K₂C₈H₄O₄
The molar mass of KHP is 204.22 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 1.08 g are:
1.08 g × (1 mol/204.22 g) = 5.28 × 10⁻³ mol
The molar ratio of KOH to KHC₈H₄O₄ is 1:1. The reacting moles of KOH are 5.28 × 10⁻³ moles.
5.28 × 10⁻³ moles of KOH occupy a volume of 36.8 mL. The molarity of the KOH solution is:
M = 5.28 × 10⁻³ mol / 0.0368 L = 0.143 M
B.
Let's consider the neutralization of potassium hydroxide and perchloric acid.
KOH + HClO₄ → KClO₄ + H₂O
When the molar ratio of acid (A) to base (B) is 1:1, we can use the following expression.
Answer:
A process during which chemical bonds between atoms are broken and new ones are formed, producing one or more substances.
Moles are the amount of substance that contains as many particles.
Explanation:
A chemical reaction is when a chemical change occurs for example when a nail comes into contact with air and is then exposed to air it begins to rust. It forms a red-brown substance which changes the chemical composition of the original compound.
Examples of chemical reactions:
Combustion
Oxidation (rusting)
Cooking an egg
Photosynthesis
Digestion
Fireworks
Paper Burnin
The mole is the amount of substance that contains as many particles (molecules, ions or atoms) as there are in 12g of carbon.
1 mol is the amount of substance that contains the same number of particles as there are atoms in 12.0 g of carbon-12 and that number is referred to as Avogardo's constant (6.022 x ).
