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

What can we do to fix the climate in greenland?

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Greenland is a huge island that is covered with ice, due to warming this ice has begun to melt, reaching a point where more ice is lost per year than is gained.

The temperature levels on earth have increased abnormally since the industrial revolution, that is since CO2 emissions increased. The extra CO2 released into the atmosphere does not allow the heat generated from the earth to be released into space, so the earth has begun to heat up more than normal, causing temperatures to rise.

To avoid this, CO2 emissions should be reduced, this could be achieved by using clean energy to generate electricity, such as solar or wind energy. Also if industries improve their processes to reduce the CO2 they produce. Another way is to reduce livestock farming as this industry also releases high amounts of CO2.

As individuals, from our homes what we can do is to reduce energy consumption if it is generated with fossil fuels, for example turn off the lights if we are not in the rooms, unplug appliances that we are not using, do not use products that come from polluting industries, among others.

How many moles would be equal to 22.4 g of CO2?

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Number of moles = 0.51 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CO₂ = 22.4 g

Number of moles = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of CO₂:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mol

by putting values,

Number of moles = 22.4 g/ 44 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.51 mol

Whats the lewis dot diagram for calcium

stepladder [879]

Draw the Lewis dot structure for each atom of the compound to show how many valence electrons are present in each atom. For example, the calcium atom in calcium chloride, CaCl2, has two valence electrons, and the chlorine atoms have seven valence electrons each.
