Answer:

A potentiometric pH meter is used to measure the pH of a solution.

Explanation:

A pH meter is an common instrument that is used to measure the hydrogen-ion concentration in aqueous solutions , the meter indicates its acidity or alkalinity and is expressed as pH.

The pH meter measures the difference in electrical potential between a pH electrode and a reference electrode, hence the pH meter is often called a potentiometric pH meter. The difference in electrical potential is related to the pH of the solution.

Potentiometric pH meters consists of a simple electronic amplifier and a pair of electrodes, alternatively it may consist of a combination electrode, and some form of display calibrated in pH units. It usually has a glass electrode and a reference electrode, or a combination electrode. The electrodes, or probes, are inserted into the solution to be tested and pH values are read off.

How many grams of H2O are produced when 35.0 g of NaOH reacts with 17.5 g of CO,?

zhenek [66]

Answer:

2NaOH + CO2 -> Na2CO3 + H2O

1) Find the moles of each substance

$\eq n(NaOH)=\frac{35.0}{22.99+16.00+1.008\\}\ =\frac{35.0}{39.998} \ = 0.8750437522 moles\\n(CO_{2} ) = \frac{17.5}{12.01+32.00} = \frac{17.5}{44.01} = 0.3976369007 moles\\$

2) Determine the limitting reagent

$\\NaOH = \frac{0.8750437522}{2} = 0.4375218761\\\\$

∴ Carbon dioxide is limitting as it has a smaller value.

3) multiply the limiting reagent by the mole ratio of unknown over known

n(H2O ) = 0.3976369007 × 1/2

= 0.1988184504 moles

4) Multiply the number of moles by the molar mass of the substance.

m = 0.1988184504 × (1.008 × 2 + 16.00)

= 0.1988184504 × 18.016

= 3.581913202 g

How many liters of hydrogen gas are formed from the complete reaction of 1.03 mol of C? Assume that the hydrogen gas is collecte

aliina [53]

Answer:

27 liters of hydrogen gas will be formed

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles C = 1.03 moles

Pressure H2 = 1.0 atm

Temperature = 319 K

Step 2: The balanced equation

C +H20 → CO + H2

Step 3: Calculate moles H2

For 1 mol C we need 1 mol H2O to produce 1 mol CO an 1 mol H2

For 1.03 moles C we'll have 1.03 moles H2

Step 4: Calculate volume H2

p*V = n*R*T

⇒with p = the pressure of the H2 gas = 1.0 atm

⇒with V = the volume of H2 gas = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with n = the number of moles H2 gas = 1.03 moles

⇒with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*Atm/mol*K

⇒with T = the temperature = 319 K

V = (n*R*T)/p

V = (1.03 * 0.08206 *319) / 1

V = 27 L

27 liters of hydrogen gas will be formed

Calculate the grams of solute in each of the following solution: 278 mL of 0.038 M Fe2(SO4)3

Goryan [66]

Answer: 4.22 grams of solute is there in 278 ml of 0.038 M $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

$Molarity=\frac{n}{V_s}$

where,

n = moles of solute

$V_s$ = volume of solution in L

Now put all the given values in the formula of molality, we get

$0.038M=\frac{n}{0.278L}$

$n=0.0105mol$

mass of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ = $moles\times {\text {Molar Mass}}=0.0105\times 399.88g/mol=4.22g$

Thus 4.22 grams of solute is there in 278 ml of 0.038 M $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$
