A sample of potassium chlorate (15.0 g) is dissolved in 201 g of water at 70 °c with precautions taken to avoid evaporation of a
zlopas [31]
Answer is: unsaturated.
Solubility of potassium chlorate on 70°C is approximately 30 grams in 100 grams of water.
Solubility of potassium chlorate on 70°C is approximately 10 grams in 100 grams of water.
So if dissolve 15 g of potassium chlorate in 201 g of water, there is less salt than it solubility and solution is unsaturated.

What is the concentration (M) of CH3OH in a solution prepared by dissolving 34.4 g of CH3OH in sufficient water to give exactly
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

4.67M

Explanation:

The concentration of methanol (CH3OH) can be calculated using the following:

Molarity (M) = number of moles(n)/volume(v)

However, mole is not given. It can be obtained by using:

Mole = mass / molar mass

Where; mass = 34.4g

Molar mass (MM) of CH3OH is:

= 12 + 1(3) + 16 + 1

= 12 + 3 + 17

= 32g/mol

mole = 34.4/32

mole = 1.075mol

The volume needs to be converted to L by dividing by 1000

230mL = 230/1000

= 0.230L

Molarity = mol/volume

Molarity = 1.075/0.230

Molarity = 4.6739

Molarity = 4.67M

The concentration of CH3OH in solution is 4.67M

Can the pH scale be utilized for all acids (Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis)? Give examples of substances from each definit
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The pH scale is a scale graduated from 0-14 which shows the degree of acidity of alkalinity of a substance. The pH scale is graduated in such a way that 0-6.9 indicates acidity, 7.0 indicate a neutral substance, while a pH of 8-14 indicates alkalinity respectively.

There are three main definitions of acids/bases

- Arrhenius definition

-Brownstead-Lowry definition

-Lewis definition

Arrhenius explains acids as any substance that produces hydrogen ions as its only positive ion in solution while a base produces hydroxide ions as its only negative ion in solution. The pH scale is based on corresponding values of pH derived from aqueous solutions of these substances.

However, not all acids/bases produces hydrogen or hydroxide ions in solution. Brownstead-Lowry definition of acids and Lewis definition of acids could be extended to nonaqueous media where the pH can not be measured as there are no hydrogen or hydroxide ions present in the solution.

This implies that pH measurement may not apply to acids/bases in the all the categories of acids/bases hence it can not be utilized for all acids and bases.

Arrhenius - sodium carbonate

Brownstead-Lowry - concentrated HF

Lewis acid - AlCl3
