More the no. of hydrogen ions more is the solution acidic.

pH means the power of hydrogen that determines the concentration of hydrogen ions or the level of acidiy or basicity of a solution.

so more the hydrogen ions more will be the Power of Hydrogen (pH) and thus more wil be the acidity.

A 20.00-mL sample of a weak base is titrated with 0.0568 M HCl. At the endpoint, it is found that 17.88 mL of titrant was used.

nata0808 [166]

Answer: 0.0508mL

Explanation: Using the basic formula that states: C acid * V acid = C base * V base. we have:0.568 * 17.88 = 20 * C base.

therefore concentration of the base is 1.0156/20 = 0.0508 mL

3. A student carries out the clay-catalyzed dehydration of cyclohexanol starting with 10 moles of cyclohexanol and obtains 500 m

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

$49.45~%$

Explanation:

In this case, we have to start with the chemical reaction:

$C_6H_1_2O~->~C_6H_1_0~+~H_2O$

So, if we start with 10 mol of cyclohexanol ( $C_6H_1_2O$ ) we will obtain 10 mol of cyclohexanol ( $C_6H_1_0$ ). So, we can calculate the grams of cyclohexanol if we calculate the molar mass:

$(6*12)+(10*1)=82~g/mol$

With this value we can calculate the grams:

$10~mol~C_6H_1_0\frac{82~g~C_6H_1_0}{1~mol~C_6H_1_0}=820~g~C_6H_1_0$

Now, we have as a product 500 mL of $C_6H_1_0$ . If we use the density value (0.811 g/mL). We can calculate the grams of product:

$500~mL\frac{0.811~g}{1~mL}=405.5~g$

Finally, with these values we can calculate the yield:

$%~=~\frac{405.5}{820}x100~=~49.45%$ %= (405.5/820)*100 = 49.45 %

See figure 1

state the formula for potassium hydroxide and explain, in terms of charges, how you formed the formula

Ganezh [65]

Potassium oxide is an ionic compound. The potassium has a charge of K+ and oxygen has a charge of O2−. We need 2 potassium ions to balance one oxide ion making the formula K2O.

Potassium hydroxide is an ionic compound. The potassium has a charge of K+ and hydroxide has a charge of OH−. We need 1 potassium ion to balance one hydroxide ion making the formula KOH.

K2O+ H2O→KOH

To balance the equation we place a coefficient of 2 in front of the potassium hydroxide.

K2O+H2O→2KOH

I hope this was helpful.

A reaction of importance in the formation of smog is that between ozone and nitrogen monoxide described by O 3 ( g ) + NO ( g )

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

(a) 7.11x10⁻⁴ M/s

(b) 2.56 mol.L⁻¹.h⁻¹

Explanation:

(a) The reaction is:

O₃(g) + NO(g) → O₂(g) + NO₂(g) (1)

The reaction rate of equation (1) is given by:

$rate = k*[O_{3}][NO]$ (2)

We have:

k: is the rate constant of reaction = 3.91x10⁶ M⁻¹.s⁻¹

[O₃]₀ = 2.35x10⁻⁶ M

[NO]₀ = 7.74x10⁻⁵ M

Hence, to find the inital reacion rate we will use equation (2):

$rate = k*[O_{3}]_{0}[NO]_{0} = 3.91 \cdot 10^{6} M^{-1}s^{-1}*2.35\cdot 10^{-6} M*7.74 \cdot 10^{-5} M = 7.11 \cdot 10^{-4} M/s$

Therefore, the inital reaction rate is 7.11x10⁻⁴ M/s

(b) The number of moles of NO₂(g) produced per hour per liter of air is:

t = 1 h

V = 1 L

$\frac{\Delta[NO_{2}]}{\Delta t} = rate$

$\frac{\Delta[NO_{2}]}{\Delta t} = 7.11 \cdot 10^{-4} M/s*\frac{3600 s}{1 h} = 2.56 mol.L^{-1}.h{-1}$

Hence, the number of moles of NO₂(g) produced per hour per liter of air is 2.56 mol.L⁻¹.h⁻¹

I hope it helps you!
