Answer:

0.077M

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

2HCl + Mg(OH)2 —> MgCl2 + 2H2O

From the balanced equation above,

The mole ratio of the acid (nA) = 2

The mole ratio of the base (nB) = 1

Step 2:

Data obtained from the question.

Concentration of base Cb =...?

Volume of base (Vb) = 10mL

Concentration of acid (Ca) = 0.1M

Volume of acid (Va) = 15.4mL

Step 3:

Determination of the concentration of the base, Mg(OH)2.

The concentration of the base can be obtained as follow:

CaVa/CbVb = nA/nB

0.1 x 15.4 /Cb x 10 = 2/1

Cross multiply to express in linear form

Cb x 10 x 2 = 0.1 x 15.4

Divide both side by 10 x 2

Cb = (0.1 x 15.4) /(10 x 2)

Cb = 0.077M

Therefore, the concentration of the base, Mg(OH)2 is 0.077M

How many molecules of NaCl are there in 250 grams of table salt

devlian [24]

Answer:

4.27 moles of NaCl

Explanation:

Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g/mol

Number of moles of NaCl(table salt) = 250 grams /58.5 g/mol

= 4.27 moles of NaCl

Which of the following about a balanced chemical reactions is

gavmur [86]

Answer:

A balanced chemical equation must always include coefficients on every reactant and product.

Explanation:

<u>A balanced chemical equation does not need to include coefficients on every reactant and product.</u>

For example, below is a balanced chemical equation in which the reactants and the products have no coefficients whatsoever:

NaOH(aq) + HCl (aq) -----> NaCl (s) + H2O (l)

<em>Of course, a properly written chemical equation must include the states of matter of all the substances in the reaction and the number of atoms of each element must balance both in the reactant and product sides of the equation. Generally, a balanced chemical equation must obey the law of conservation of matter which opines that matter can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be converted from one form to another. </em>

Hence, that a balanced chemical equation must always include coefficients on every reactant and product is not true.

How many liters will 2.76 mol CO2 occupy?<br> 2.76 mol<br> II

sergeinik [125]

This problem is providing information about the moles of carbon dioxide, 2.76 mol, and asks for the volume this amount takes up, turning out to be 61.8 L according to the Avogadro's law:

<h3>Avogadro's law:</h3><h3 />

In chemistry, gas laws are used to relate the behavior of gases by virtue of the their pressure, volume, temperature and moles; thus several gas laws exist for us to do so, however, we here focus on the Avogadro's law which relates the volume and moles when both temperature and pressure are held constant.

In such a way, since no information on the constant variables is given, we assume the mentioned carbon dioxide is at STP, (0 °C and 1 atm), which means that we can use the following equivalence statement derived from the ideal gas law (PV=nRT):

22.4 L = 1 mol

Hence, we calculate the required volume:

$2.76molCO_2*\frac{22.4L\ CO_2}{1molCO_2} =61.8L\ CO_2$
