Answer:

The pH of 500 cm³, 0.2 mol/dm³, Ca(OH₂) is ≈ 13.6

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

Concentration of the calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH₂) = 0.2 mol/dm³

Volume of the calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH₂) = 500 cm³

Given that the calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH₂), undergoes complete ionization in water, complete dissociation, we have;

Ca(OH₂) ⇄ Ca²⁺ + 2 OH⁻

Therefore, we have;

2 moles of [OH⁻] for each mole of Ca(OH₂) which gives the concentration of [OH⁻] as

[OH⁻] = 2 × 0.2 ≈ 0.4 mol/dm³

The pH is given by the formula

pH = 14 + ㏒₁₀ [OH⁻]

pH = 14 + ㏒₁₀ (0.4) = 14 - 0.3979 = 13.6021 ≈ 13.6

The pH of the 500 cm³ 0.2 mol/dm³ Ca(OH₂) ≈ 13.6.

FrozenT [24]

A colloid has the particles that have the ability to scatter light called the Tyndall effect named after the scientist named Tyndall. A suspension has large suspended particles that settle out at the bottom of the container. A solution has small particles that are evenly distributed throughout. Hence the answer is choice 2.

If a gas occupies 1532.7 mL at standard temperature, what volume does it occupy at 49.4 ºC if the pressure remains constant?

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

a. 1810mL

Explanation:

When conditions for a gas change under constant pressure (and the number of molecules doesn't change), it follows Charles' Law:

$\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}$ where the temperatures must be measured in Kelvin

To convert from Celsius to Kelvin, add 273, or use the equation: $T_C+273=T_K$

For this problem, one must also recall that standard temperature is 0°C (or 273K).

So, $T_1 = 273[K]$ , and $T_2 = (49.4+273)[K]=322.4[K]$ .

$\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}$

$\dfrac{(1532.7[mL])}{(273[K])}=\dfrac{V_2}{(322.4[K])}$

$\dfrac{(1532.7[mL])}{(273[K\!\!\!\!\!{-}])}(322.4[K\!\!\!\!\!{-}] )=\dfrac{V_2}{(322.4[K]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{----})}(322.4[K]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{----})$

$1810.04571428[mL]=V_2$

Adjusting for significant figures, this gives $V_2=1810[mL]$
