Answer:

The answer is in the explanation.

Explanation:

The KHP is an acid used as standard in titrations to find concentration of bases as NaOH.

The reaction that explain this use is:

KHP + NaOH → KNaP + H2O

<em>where 1 mole of KHP reacts per mole of NaOH</em>

That means, at equivalence point of a titration in which titrant is NaOH, the moles of KHP = Moles of NaOH added

With the moles of KHP = Moles of NaOH and the volume used by titrant we can find the molar concentration of NaOH.

The moles of KHP are obtained from the volume and the concentration as follows:

Volume(L)*Concentration (Molarity,M) = moles of KHP

If the concentration is more or less than 0.100M, the moles will be higher or lower. For that reason, we need to know the concentration of KHP but is not necessary to be 0.100M.

Which of these bonds is the weakest?

Olenka [21]

Answer:

The first one has the weakest bond

Explanation:

The number of atoms together shows how strong the bonds in the second bond it is 4 bonds, the third is 8 bonds, the 4th one is 4 bonds thus why the first bond is the weakest.

Which has more mass, a mole of water (h2o) or a mole of glucose (c6h12o6)?

Semenov [28]

It is important to note that mass and mole pertain to different units of measurement, thus, 1 mole of one substance may have a lower or higher mass compared to a different substance. The mass of an object gives a measure of the number of atoms present in the substance while the number of moles of a substance refers to the amount of a chemical substance it has and is often used for chemical reactions.

For this problem, we first get the molar mass of each substance:

Molar mass of H2O = 18.0153 g/mol
Molar mass of C6H12O6 = 180.1559 g/mol

We then convert each substance into units of mass (grams), where:

1 mol H20 x 18.0153 g/mol = 18.0153 g H20
1 mol C6H12O6 x 180.1559 g/mol = 180.1559 g C6H12O6

It was then determined that 1 mole of glucose has more mass than 1 mole of water.

Identify the independent and dependent variables. Peter is conducting an experiment to see how much salt will dissolve in water

Vlad1618 [11]

Temperature is independent and the amount of salt dissolving in water is dependant. This is because the amount of salt dissolving depends on how low or high the water temperature is
