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>

Determine the empirical formula of a
k0ka [10]

Answer:

AuCl

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Gold  = 2.6444g

Mass of Chlorine  = 0.476g

Unknown:

Empirical formula  = ?

Solution:

Empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound. Here is the way of determining this formula.

Elements                                     Au                                             Cl

Mass                                         2.6444                                     0.476

Molar mass                                 197                                          35.5

Number of moles                  2.6444/197                                 0.476/35.5

                                                 0.013                                           0.013

Divide by the

smallest                                 0.013/0.013                                 0.013/0.013

                                                       1                                                   1

The empirical formula of the compound is AuCl

Entropy A. has a strong odor B. is a measure of correlation between numeric variables C. is used to calculate information gain D
Bingel [31]

Correct option:

Entropy is used to calculate information gain.

What is entropy?

  • Entropy is the measure of data's uncertainty or randomness; the greater the randomness, the higher the entropy. Entropy is used by information gain to make choices. Information will increase if the entropy decreases.
  • Decision trees and random forests leverage information gained to determine the appropriate split. Therefore, the split will be better and the entropy will lower the more information gained.
  • Information gain is calculated by comparing the entropy of a dataset before and after a split.
  • Entropy is a way to quantify data uncertainty. The goal is to maximize information gain while minimizing entropy. The method prioritizes the feature with the most information, which is utilized to train the model.
  • Entropy is actually used when you use information gain.

How does an open system differ from a closed system
Len [333]

Explanation:

A system can be either closed or open; A closed system is a system that is completely isolated from its environment. An open system is a system that has flows of information, energy, and/or matter between the system and its environment, and which adapts to the exchange.

Describe the three types of magnets
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Permanent Magnets are always magnetic.

Temporary Magnets loose their magnetizing power after the source is removed. (outside a magnetic field)

Electromagnets are made by sending electric coil around an iron rod. (I.e. Nail, coil, and batteries can pick up paperclips)
