How many moles of Cu(OH)2 are soluble in 1L of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) when the pH is 8.23?

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

4.96E-8 moles of Cu(OH)2

Explanation:

Kps es the constant referring to how much a substance can be dissolved in water. Using Kps, it is possible to know the concentration of weak electrolytes. Then, pKps is the minus logarithm of Kps.

Now, we know that sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a strong electrolyte, who is completely dissolved in water. Therefore the pH depends only on OH concentration originating from NaOH. Let us to figure out how much is that OH concentration.

$pH= -log[H]\\pH= -log (\frac{kw}{[OH]})$

$8.23 = - log(\frac{Kw}{[OH]} \\10^{-8.23} = Kw/[OH]\\ [OH] = Kw/10^{-8.23}$

$[OH]=1.69E-6$

This concentration of OH affects the disociation of Cu(OH)2. Let us see the dissociation reaction:

$Cu(OH)_2 -> Cu^{2+} + 2OH^-$

In the equilibrum, exist a concentration of OH already, that we knew, and it will be added that from dissociation, called "s":

The expression for Kps is:

$Kps= [Cu^{2+}] [OH]^2$

The moles of (CuOH)2 soluble are limitated for the concentration of OH present, according to the next equation.

$Kps= s*(2s+1.69E-6)^2$

"s" is the soluble quantity of Cu(OH)2.

The solution for this third grade equation is $s=4.96E-8 mol/L$

Now, let us calculate the moles in 1 L:

$moles Cu(OH)_2 = 4.96E-8 mol/L * 1 L = 4.96E-8 moles$

In which medium does sound travel the slowest?

ZanzabumX [31]

Sound actually travels slower in air.This is because sound is kinetic energy and has to pass from molecule to molecule.In gas the molecules are farther apart taking more time for it to pass,in water the molecules are closer so it takes less time for the sound to get from one molecule to another and with cast iron (since it's very dense) the molecules are very close allowing sound to travel quickly with ease.

how would oh- in an ammonia solution compare With oh- in a sodium hydorxide solution if similar consentration

Basile [38]

Thus, a sodium hydroxide solution has a greater OH– concentration than the same concentration solution of NH3. At the same concentrations, the pH of the NaOH solution is greater (more basic) than the NH3 solution.
