Answer:

We know that the student was measuring a spectrum, and observed double yellow lines, he claimed that it was Sodium.

There are multiple elements with double yellow lines, like Mercury or Sodium, but Sodium has two bright yellow lines, so it is usually identified by them.

So when we look at a spectrum and we see a strong doublet in the yellow range, we can easily assume that it is Sodium.

Here we assume that the student only saw the yellow doublet, this would imply that the yellow doublet is way more intense than the other lines, that can't be seen (while for other elements with double yellow lines, we should see other lines with similar intensity) then we can conclude that it is Sodium.

The student is correct.

Yes because condensed milk and evaporated milk are similar to one another. However, there won’t be the same sweet flavor but the texture is the same.

A solution is prepared by mixing 0.10 of 0.12 M sodium chloride with 0.23 L of a 0.18 M magnesium chloride solution. What is the
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

pCl⁻ = 0.54

Explanation:

First we <u>calculate how many Cl⁻ moles are coming from each substance</u>, using the <em>given volumes and concentrations</em>:

  • 0.12 M NaCl * 0.10 L = 0.012 mol NaCl = 0.012 mol Cl⁻
  • 0.18 M MgCl₂ * 0.23 L = 0.0414 mol MgCl₂ = (0.0414 * 2) 0.0828 mol Cl⁻

The final volume of the mixture is = 0.10 L + 0.23 L = 0.33 L

Now we <u>calculate [Cl⁻]</u>, using the<em> total number of Cl⁻ moles and the final volume:</em>

  • [Cl⁻] = (0.012 mol + 0.0828 mol) / 0.33 L = 0.29 M

Finally we <u>calculate the pCl⁻ of the resulting solution</u>:

  • pCl⁻ = -log[Cl⁻]
  • pCl⁻ = 0.54
