Answer:
pH = 12.15
Explanation:
To determine the pH of the HCl and KOH mixture, we need to know that the reaction is a neutralization type.
HCl + KOH → H₂O + KCl
We need to determine the moles of each compound
M = mmol / V (mL) → 30 mL . 0.10 M = 3 mmoles of HCl
M = mmol / V (mL) → 40 mL . 0.10 M = 4 mmoles of KOH
The base is in excess, so the HCl will completely react and we would produce the same mmoles of KCl
HCl + KOH → H₂O + KCl
3 m 4 m -
1 m 3 m
As the KCl is a neutral salt, it does not have any effect on the pH, so the pH will be affected, by the strong base.
1 mmol of KOH has 1 mmol of OH⁻, so the [OH⁻] will be 1 mmol / Tot volume
[OH⁻] 1 mmol / 70 mL = 0.014285 M
- log [OH⁻] = 1.85 → pH = 14 - pOH → 14 - 1.85 = 12.15
Answer:
Protons and neutrons
Explanation:
The particles to forms the nucleus of an atom are the protons and neutrons of the atoms.
These materials are located in the tiny nucleus and contributes the most mass of the atom.
- Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom
- Neutrons do not carry any charges.
- Sum of the protons and neutrons gives the mass number of the atom.
Answer:
Prompt Neutrons
Explanation:
Principle. Using uranium-235 as an example, this nucleus absorbs thermal neutrons, and the immediate mass products of a fission event are two large fission fragments, which are remnants of the formed uranium-236 nucleus. These fragments emit two or three free neutrons (2.5 on average), called prompt neutrons.
