Answer:
pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration. Acids have pH ranging from 1 to 6.9, bases have pH ranging from 7.1 to 14 and neutral solutions have pH equal to 7. Thus the sum of pH and pOH is 14
Explanation:
We will use the expression for freezing point depression ∆Tf
∆Tf = i Kf m
Since we know that the freezing point of water is 0 degree Celsius, temperature change ∆Tf is
∆Tf = 0C - (-3°C) = 3°C
and the van't Hoff Factor i is approximately equal to 2 since one molecule of KCl in aqueous solution will produce one K+ ion and one Cl- ion:
KCl → K+ + Cl-
Therefore, the molality m of the solution can be calculated as
3 = 2 * 1.86 * m
m = 3 / (2 * 1.86)
m = 0.80 molal
Answer:
Molarity is halved when the volume of solvent is doubled.
Explanation:
Using the dilution equation (volume 1)(molarity 1)=(volume 2)(molarity 2), we can demonstrate the effects of doubling volume.
Suppose the starting volume is 1 L and the starting molarity is 1 M, and doubling the volume would make the final volume 2 L.
Plugging these numbers into the equation, we can figure out the final molarity.
(1 L)(1 M)=(2 L)(X M)
X M= (1 L x 1 M)/(2 L)
X M= 1/2 M
This shows that the molarity is halved when the volume of solvent is doubled.
