Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

           pH = 3.50

Unknown:

    concentration of [H₃0⁺] = ?

    concentration of [OH⁻] = ?

Solution:

In order to find the unknown, we use some simple expressions which best explains the pH scale and the equilibrium systems of aqueous solutions.

         pH = -log₁₀[H₃O⁺]

         [H₃O⁺] = inverse log₁₀ (-pH) = 10^{-pH} = 10^{-3.5}

          [H₃O⁺] = 3.2 x 10⁻⁴moldm⁻³

       

For the  [OH⁻]:

       we use : pOH = -log₁₀ [OH⁻]

     Recall: pOH + pH = 14

                  pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 3.5 = 10.5

  Now we plug the value of pOH into pOH = -log₁₀ [OH⁻]

                                   [OH⁻] = 10^{-pOH}

                        [OH⁻] = 10^{-10.5} = 3.2 x 10⁻¹¹moldm⁻³

The solution is acidic as the concentration of H₃0⁺ is more than that of the OH⁻ ions.

If 185 mg of acetaminophen were obtained from a tablet containing 350 mg of acetamino- phen, what would be the weight percentage
Alex73 [517]

Percentage recovery gives us an idea of the amount of pure substance recovered after the chemical reaction. Percentage recovery can be more than 100 % or less than 100 %. Usually, in any experiment performed the weight percentage recovery will be less than 100. Percent recovery values greater than 100 show that the recovered compound is contaminated.

Amount of acetaminophen initially taken = 350 mg

Amount of acetaminophen obtained after recovery =185 mg

Weight percentage recovery =\frac{mass recovered}{mass originally taken}*100

                                                = \frac{185 mg}{350 mg}*100

                                               = 52.9%

Breaking a solid reactant into pieces results in
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

If one of the reactants is a solid, only the particles at the surface can partake in the reaction. Breaking the reactant into smaller pieces increases the surface and more particles are exposed to the reaction mixture. This results in an increased frequency of collisions and therefore a faster rate of reaction
