0.50 g of hydrogen chloride (HCl) is dissolved in water to make 4.0 L of solution. What is the pH of the resulting hydrochloric

acid solution
Chemistry
1 answer:
svlad2 [7]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Given the mass of HCl is ---- 0.50 g

The volume of solution is --- 4.0 L

To determine the pH of the resulting solution, follow the below-shown procedure:

1. Calculate the number of moles of HCl given by using the formula:

number of moles of a substance=\frac{given mass of the substance}{its molecular mass}

2. Calculate the molarity of HCl.

3. Calculate pH of the solution using the formula:

pH=-log[H^+]

Since HCl is a strong acid, it undergoes complete ionization when dissolved in water.

HCl(aq)->H^+(aq)+Cl^-(aq)

Thus, [HCl]=[H^+]

Calculation:

1. Number of moles of HCl given:

number of moles of a substance=\frac{given mass of the substance}{its molecular mass}\\=0.50g/36.5g/mol\\=0.0137mol

2. Concentration of HCl:

Molarity of HCl=\frac{number of moles of HCl}{its molar mass}\\=\frac{0.0137 mol}{4.0 L} \\= 0.003425 M

3. pH of the solution:

pH=-log[H^+]\\=-log(0.003425)\\=2.47

Hence, pH of the given solution is 2.47.

What happens to an atom if it loses an electron?
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

When an atom loses electron(s) it will lose some of its negative charge and so becomes positively charged. A positive ion is formed where an atom has more protons than electrons. In the opposite case when an atom gains electron(s) it becomes negatively charged (more electrons than protons).

gThe mole fraction of potassium nitrate in an aqueous solution is 0.0194. The solution's density is 1.0627 g/mL. What is the mol
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

0.595 M

Explanation:

The number of moles of water in 1L = 1000g/18g/mol = 55.6 moles of water.

Mole fraction = number of moles of KNO3/number of moles of KNO3 + number of moles of water

0.0194 = x/x + 55.6

0.0194(x + 55.6) = x

0.0194x + 1.08 = x

x - 0.0194x = 1.08

0.9806x= 1.08

x= 1.08/0.9806

x= 1.1 moles of KNO3

Mole fraction of water= 55.6/1.1 + 55.6 = 0.981

If

xA= mole fraction of solvent

xB= mole fraction of solute

nA= number of moles of solvent

nB = number of moles of solute

MA= molar mass of solvent

MB = molar mass of solute

d= density of solution

Molarity = xBd × 1000/xAMA ×xBMB

Molarity= 0.0194 × 1.0627 × 1000/0.981 × 18 × 0.0194×101

Molarity= 20.6/34.6

Molarity of KNO3= 0.595 M

How is solar power used to generate electricity?
musickatia [10]
This is the shortest answer, you can google: net meter, inverter, solar panels and the roof system for a shorter one.

The roof system

In most solar systems, solar panels are placed on the roof. An ideal site will have no shade on the panels, especially during the prime sunlight hours of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; a south-facing installation will usually provide the optimum potential for your system, but other orientations may provide sufficient production. Trees or other factors that cause shading during the day will cause significant decreases to power production. The importance of shading and efficiency cannot be overstated. In a solar panel, if even just one of its 36 cells is shaded, power production will be reduced by more than half. Experienced installation contractors such as NW Wind & Solar use a device called a Solar Pathfinder to carefully identify potential areas of shading prior to installation.

Not every roof has the correct orientation or angle of inclination to take advantage of the sun's energy. Some systems are designed with pivoting panels that track the sun in its journey across the sky. Non-tracking PV systems should be inclined at an angle equal to the site’s latitude to absorb the maximum amount of energy year-round. Alternate orientations and/or inclinations may be used to optimize energy production for particular times of day or for specific seasons of the year.

Solar panels

Solar panels, also known as modules, contain photovoltaic cells made from silicon that transform incoming sunlight into electricity rather than heat. (”Photovoltaic” means electricity from light — photo = light, voltaic = electricity.)

Solar photovoltaic cells consist of a positive and a negative film of silicon placed under a thin slice of glass. As the photons of the sunlight beat down upon these cells, they knock the electrons off the silicon. The negatively-charged free electrons are preferentially attracted to one side of the silicon cell, which creates an electric voltage that can be collected and channeled. This current is gathered by wiring the individual solar panels together in series to form a solar photovoltaic array. Depending on the size of the installation, multiple strings of solar photovoltaic array cables terminate in one electrical box, called a fused array combiner. Contained within the combiner box are fuses designed to protect the individual module cables, as well as the connections that deliver power to the inverter. The electricity produced at this stage is DC (direct current) and must be converted to AC (alternating current) suitable for use in your home or business.

Inverter

The inverter is typically located in an accessible location, as close as practical to the modules. In a residential application, the inverter is often mounted to the exterior sidewall of the home near the electrical main or sub panels. Since inverters make a slight noise, this should be taken into consideration when selecting the location.

The inverter turns the DC electricity generated by the solar panels into 120-volt AC that can be put to immediate use by connecting the inverter directly to a dedicated circuit breaker in the electrical panel.

The inverter, electricity production meter, and electricity net meter are connected so that power produced by your solar electric system will first be consumed by the electrical loads currently in operation. The balance of power produced by your solar electric system passes through your electrical panel and out onto the electric grid. Whenever you are producing more electricity from your solar electric system than you are immediately consuming, your electric utility meter will turn backwards!

Net meter

In a solar electric system that is also tied to the utility grid, the DC power from the solar array is converted into 120/240 volt AC power and fed directly into the utility power distribution system of the building. The power is “net metered,” which means it reduces demand for power from the utility when the solar array is generating electricity – thus lowering the utility bill. These grid-tied systems automatically shut off if utility power goes offline, protecting workers from power being back fed into the grid during an outage. These types of solar-powered electric systems are known as “on grid” or “battery-less” and make up approximately 98% of the solar power systems being installed today.
