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>

As the temperature of one of the four liquids increases, the vapor pressure will
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

a) increase exponentially.

Explanation:

The vapor pressure is depend only on temperature.

The vapor pressure of liquid does not depend upon amount of liquid. For example whether the liquid is 50 g or 30 g its vapor pressure will remain same according to the temperature.

The temperature and vapor pressure have exponential relationship. As the temperature of liquid increases its vapor pressure also goes to increase. When the temperature of liquid goes to decrease its vapor pressure also decreases.

The change in vapor pressure of substance when temperature changes is given as,

ln P₂/P₁ = ΔH(va)/R (1/T₁ - 1/T₂)

jonny [76]

Answer:

Water/H20 is a compound made of hydrogen and oxygen. Although water is the most abundant substance on earth, it is rarely found naturally in its pure form. Most of the time, pure water has to be created. Pure water is called distilled water or deionized water.

A sample of gas in a balloon has an initial temperature of 21 ∘C and a volume of 1310 L . If the temperature changes to 70 ∘C ,
bixtya [17]

Answer:

1528.3L

Explanation:

To solve this problem we should know this formula:

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂

We must convert the values of T° to Absolute T° (T° in K)

21°C + 273 = 294K

70°C + 273 = 343K

Now we can replace the data

1310L / 294K = V₂ / 343K

V₂ = (1310L / 294K) . 343K → 1528.3L

If the pressure keeps on constant, volume is modified directly proportional to absolute temperature. As T° has increased, the volume increased too
