Calculate the pH of 500cm3 of 0.2mol/dm3 Ca(OH2), assume complete ionisation​

Chemistry

Lilit [14]3 years ago

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.

Calcium is added to water,the liberated gas is<br>​
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

In both cases, the gas evolved is H2. When calcium reacts with water the heat evolved is not suffcient for hydrogen to catch fire. On the other hand, sodium metal reacts with water violently and in this case a lot of heat is evolved which is sufficient for hydrogen to catch fire.

A chemical reaction can be reversed if?
Wittaler [7]

Chemical reaction can be reversed if the energy of the reactants is less than the activation energy threshold.

<h3>What is a reversible reaction?</h3>

A reversible reaction is a reaction in which the conversion of reactants to products and the conversion of products to reactants occur simultaneously.

<h3>Conditions for reversible reaction</h3>

In equilibrium reaction, the activation energy of the forward reaction is more than that of backward reaction which causes bond breakage of the reactants.

Activation energy = (Threshold energy) - (Internal energy of the reactants)

Thus, a chemical reaction can be reversed if the energy of the reactants is less than the activation energy threshold.

If 22.6 grams of an aqueous solution of zinc nitrate, Zn(NO3)2, contains 5.08 grams of zinc nitrate, what is the percentage by m
sesenic [268]

Answer:

22.5%

Explanation:

To find percentage by mass, you divide the mass of the solute by the mass of the solvent.

5.08 g/22.6 g = 0.2248 = 22.5%
