Answer:

The pH of the solution is 12.78.

Explanation:

The pOH (or potential OH) is a measure of the basicity or alkalinity of a solution. The pOH is defined as the negative logarithm of the activity of the hydroxide ions. That is, the concentration of OH- ions:

pOH= - log [OH-]

On the other side, Molarity or Molar Concentration is the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a certain volume. Molarity is calculated as:

Molarity= \frac{number of moles}{volume}

Molarity is expressed in units: \frac{moles}{liter}

In this case, the solution is prepared by mixing 100 ml (equal to 0.1 L, where 1000 mL = 1 L) of Ca(OH)₂ 0.020 M with 50 ml (equal to 0.05 L) of 0.100 M NaOH. Then, Ca(OH)₂ and NaOH are strong bases, so they dissociate completely. In the case of the first hydroxide, for each mole of Ca(OH)₂,

form two moles of OH-. In the case of sodium hydroxide, for each mole of hydroxide, one mole of OH- is formed. So, taking into account the definition of molarity, the number of moles of OH- that each hydroxide contributes to the solution is calculated as:

From Ca(OH)₂: 0.1 L* 0.02 M*2 = 0.004 moles

From NaOH: 0.05 L* 0.1 M= 0.005 moles

So, the amount of total moles of OH- is the sum that each hydroxide contributes to the solution: 0.004 moles + 0.005 moles= 0.009 moles

On the other hand, volumes are additive. Then: 0.1 L +  0.05 L= 0.15 L

Replacing in the definition of molarity the number of moles and the volume:

[OH-]=\frac{0.009 moles}{0.15 L}

Solving:

[OH-]= 0.06 \frac{moles}{liter}

Replacing in the definition of pOH:

pOH= - log 0.06

pOH= 1.22

The following relationship can be established between pH and pOH:

pH + pOH= 14

Being pOH= 1.22 and replacing:

pH + 1.22= 14

pH= 14 - 1.22

pH= 12.78

<u><em>The pH of the solution is 12.78.</em></u>

The exhaust gas from an automobile contains 3% by volume of carbon monoxide (CO). Express this concentration in mg/m3 at 25oC an
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

24540\frac{mg}{m^3}

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the 3% by volume is represented as:

\frac{3L\ CO}{L\ gas}

By using the ideal gas equation we compute the density of CO:

\rho =\frac{MP}{RT} =\frac{28g/mol*1atm}{0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*298K}= 0.818g/L

Then we apply the conversion factors as follows:

=\frac{3L\ CO}{100L\ gas}*\frac{0.818g\ CO}{1L\ CO} *\frac{1000mg\ CO}{1g\ CO} *\frac{1000L\ gas}{1m^3\ gas} \\\\=24540\frac{mg}{m^3}

Regards.

In an experiment, 16.8 g of k2so4 was dissolved in 1.00 kg of water to make a solution. the freezing point of the solution was m
Mashutka [201]
Answer is: V<span>an't Hoff factor (i) for this solution is 2,26.
</span>Change in freezing point from pure solvent to solution: ΔT =i · Kf · m.
<span>Kf - molal freezing-point depression constant for water is 1,86°C/m.
</span>m -  molality, moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
n(K₂SO₄) = 16,8 g ÷ 174,25 g/mol
n(K₂SO₄) = 0,096 mol.
m(K₂SO₄) = 0,096 mol/kg.
ΔT = 0,405°C.
i = 0,405 ÷ (1,86 · 0,096)
i = 2,26.

Which statement describes solstices?
RSB [31]

Answer:

Option A (They happen as the Sun hits its maximum and minimum level throughout the sky) is the correct option.

Explanation:

  • Solstice seems to be the moment whereas at noon this same sun achieved its maximum as well as minimum position, actually results throughout the year's shortest as well as biggest days.  
  • We currently believe that perhaps the solstice seems to be an apocalyptic event, exacerbated either by the tilt of the globe’s axis and therefore its direction of movement in an elliptical orbit. Globe's rotation not everyone's travel time from either the sun was what was causing winter or even just summer.

Some other options given should not be in accordance with the given context. So, the correct approach would've been option A.
