<span>How does understanding the structure of the atom help you see both unity and diversity in forms of matter?</span><span>
Understanding the structure of the atom helps to understand unity in matter because all matter is made up of those very similar atoms. Understanding the structure of the atom helps to understand diversity in matter because matter can be different (solid, liquid, gas, hard, soft, etc) and knowing the structure of the atom can explain these differences.
Hope This Helps! :3</span>
First we dissociate the salt
NaOCl ⇒ Na⁺ + OCl⁻
note that [NaOCl] = [OCl⁻]
note that Na⁺ does not undergo hydrolysis so it is a spectator.
OCl⁻ can reform HOCl in an equilibrium, with OCl⁻ acting as the base.
OCl⁻ + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + HOCL
<span>Ka for HOCl = 3.0x10^-8, therefore
Kb for OCL</span>⁻ = Kw / (Ka for HOCl)
= 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴ / 3.0 <span>× 10⁻⁸
= 3.3 × 10⁻⁷
</span>since Kb for OCl⁻ is given, and the pH is given, then [OCl⁻] must be found, and [OCl⁻] = [NaOCl]
convert the pH into [OH⁻]:
pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 10.3 = 3.7
[OH⁻] = 10^(-3.7) = 1.995 × 10⁻⁴
set up equib table
OCl⁻ + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + HOCl
ST x 0 0
+Δ -1.995 × 10⁻⁴ +1.995 × 10⁻⁴ +1.995 × 10⁻⁴
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EQ: x -1.995 × 10⁻⁴ 1.995 × 10⁻⁴ 1.995 × 10⁻⁴
Kb = [OH⁻][HOCl] / [OCl⁻]
3.3 × 10⁻⁷ = (1.995 × 10⁻⁴)² / (x -1.995 × 10⁻⁴ )
x = 1.1963 × 10⁻¹ M = [OCl⁻] = [NaOCl]
The concentration of the salt formed, <span>NaOCl,</span> is 1.2 × 10⁻¹ M
The reaction of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide is a neutralization reaction wherein a mixture of acid and base produces salt, water, and energy in the form of heat. A neutralization reaction is exothermic, thus producing heat. This is why the beaker felt warm to the touch.
