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.

Newton’s second law of motion is a dot product of mass and acceleration, if you remove the table from, under the book, gravity will act on the book and pull it downwards to the centre of the earth

Newton's Second law of motion states that "the acceleration of an object depends upon two variables – the net force acting on the object and the mass of the object."

In our case the mass of the book and the force of gravity

Chloroform is a liquid once used for anesthetic. What is the volume of 5.0 g of chloroform? The density of chloroform 1.49 g/mL

mario62 [17]

Answer:

3.3557047 mL

Explanation:

The density can be found using the following formula:

$d=\frac{m}{v}$

Let's rearrange the formula to find the volume, $v$ .

$d*v=\frac{m}{v}*v$

$d*v=m$

$\frac{d*v}{d} =\frac{m}{d}$

$v=\frac{m}{d}$

The volume can be found by dividing the mass by the density. The mass of the chloroform is 5 grams and the density is 1.49 grams per milliliter. Therefore,

$m= 5g \\d= 1.49 g/mL$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$v=\frac{5g}{1.49 g/mL}$

Divide. When we divide, the grams, or g, in the numerator and denominator will cancel out.

$v= \frac{5}{1.49}mL$

$v=3.3557047 mL$

The volume of 5 grams of chloroform is 3.3557047 milliliters

A chemical reaction occurs when 2 white solids are stirred together they turn into a slushy white solid and the glass jar feels

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Absorbed, endothermic

Explanation:

Based on the heat of reaction, chemical reactions may be classified as endothermic or exothermic.

In an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed from the surrounding. As heat is absorbed from the surrounding, the reaction vessel feels cool when touched.

On the other hand, in an exothermic reaction, heat is given out by the system to the surrounding and the reaction vessel feels hot when touched.

Hence the reaction is endothermic and energy is absorbed during the reaction.
