Answer:

Explanation:

A quilt is a usually multilayered textile, made to warm the body. Air is trapped between the layers of the fabric of the quilt. This is the reason it is a better insulator compared to a woolen blanket of the same thickness.

As air is the poor conductor of heat, therefore, body heat is trapped inside the quilt and thus it more effective for maintaining the body heat

Answer: The final concentration of potassium nitrate is $5.70\times 10^{-6}M$

Explanation:

To calculate the molecular mass of solute, we use the equation used to calculate the molarity of solution:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

We are given:

Mass of potassium nitrate (solute) = 0.360 g

Molar mass of potassium nitrate = 101.1 g/mol

Volume of solution = 500.0 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of }KNO_3=\frac{0.360\times 1000}{101.1\times 500.0}\\\\\text{Molarity of }KNO_3=7.12\times 10^{-3}M$

To calculate the molarity of the diluted solution, we use the equation:

$M_1V_1=M_2V_2$ .......(1)

Calculating for first dilution:

$M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the molarity and volume of the concentrated $KNO_3$ solution

$M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the molarity and volume of diluted $KNO_3$ solution

We are given:

$M_1=7.12\times 10^{-3}M\\V_1=10mL\\M_2=?M\\V_2=500.0mL$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$7.12\times 10^{-3}\times 10=M_2\times 500\\\\M_2=\frac{7.12\times 10^{-3}\times 10}{500}=1.424\times 10^{-4}M$

Calculating for second dilution:

$M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the molarity and volume of the concentrated $KNO_3$ solution

$M_3\text{ and }V_3$ are the molarity and volume of diluted $KNO_3$ solution

We are given:

$M_2=1.424\times 10^{-4}M\\V_2=10mL\\M_3=?M\\V_3=250.0mL$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.424\times 10^{-4}\times 10=M_3\times 250\\\\M_3=\frac{1.424\times 10^{-4}\times 10}{250}=5.70\times 10^{-6}M$

Hence, the final concentration of potassium nitrate is $5.70\times 10^{-6}M$

Acid & Base Calculations Calculate the hydronium ion concentration for each. Tell whether it is an acid or a base. 1. pH = 5

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Explanation:

pH is the negative logarithm of hydronium ion concentration present in a solution.

If the solution has high hydrogen ion concentration, then the pH will be low and the solution will be acidic. The pH range of acidic solution is 0 to 6.9
If the solution has low hydrogen ion concentration, then the pH will be high and the solution will be basic. The pH range of basic solution is 7.1 to 14
The solution having pH equal to 7 is termed as neutral solution.

To calculate the pH of the solution, we use equation:

$pH=-\log[H_3O^+]$ ......(1)
