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.

A sample of carbon dioxide is contained in a 250.0 mL flask at 0.930 atm and 15.4 °C. How many molecules of gas are in

Yanka [14]

Answer:

We are given:

Volume (V) = 0.25 L

Pressure (P) = 0.93 atm

Temperature (T) = 15.4°C OR 288.4 K

<u>Solving for the number of moles of CO₂:</u>

From the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

replacing the variables

0.93 * 0.25 = n (0.082)(288.4)

n = 0.00983 moles

<u>Number of molecules:</u>

Number of moles= 0.00983

number of molecules in 1 mole = 6.022 * 10²³

Number of molecules in 0.00983 moles = 0.00983 * 6.022 * 10²³

Number of molecules = 5.91 * 10²¹

Answer:

Lead shows the greatest temperature change upon absorbing 100.0 J of heat.

Explanation:

$Q=mc\Delte T$

Q = Energy gained or lost by the substance

m = mass of the substance

c = specific heat of the substance

ΔT = change in temperature

1) 10.0 g of copper

Q = 100.0 J (positive means that heat is gained)

m = 10.0 g

Specific heat of the copper = c = 0.385 J/g°C

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mc}$

$=\frac{100.0 J}{10 g\times 0.385J/g^oC}=25.97^oC$

2) 10.0 g of aluminium

Q = 100.0 J (positive means that heat is gained)

m = 10.0 g

Specific heat of the aluminium= c = 0.903 J/g°C

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mc}$

$=\frac{100.0 J}{10 g\times 0.903 J/g^oC}=11.07^oC$

3) 10.0 g of ethanol

Q = 100.0 J (positive means that heat is gained)

m = 10.0 g

Specific heat of the ethanol= c = 2.42 J/g°C

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mc}$

$=\frac{100.0 J}{10 g\times 2.42 J/g^oC}=4.13 ^oC$

4) 10.0 g of water

Q = 100.0 J (positive means that heat is gained)

m = 10.0 g

Specific heat of the water = c = 4.18J/g°C

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mc}$

$=\frac{100.0 J}{10 g\times 4.18 J/g^oC}=2.39 ^oC$

5) 10.0 g of lead

Q = 100.0 J (positive means that heat is gained)

m = 10.0 g

Specific heat of the lead= c = 0.128 J/g°C

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mc}$

$=\frac{100.0 J}{10 g\times 0.128 J/g^oC}=78.125^oC$

Lead shows the greatest temperature change upon absorbing 100.0 J of heat.

<span>This example represents the challenge of survival of the fittest. In this situation, the trees have a distinct advantage due to their above average height. This puts them in the best position to gain the resources that they need to survive, most notably, the sun. The smaller plants, however, do not have this advantage, and lose out to the trees.</span>
