Answer:

pH = 12.22

Explanation:

<em>... To make up 170mL of solution... The temperature is 25°C...</em>

<em />

The dissolution of Barium Hydroxide, Ba(OH)₂ occurs as follows:

Ba(OH)₂ ⇄ Ba²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)

<em>Where 1 mole of barium hydroxide produce 2 moles of hydroxide ion.</em>

<em />

To solve this question we need to convert mass of the hydroxide to moles with its molar mass. Twice these moles are moles of hydroxide ion (Based on the chemical equation). With moles of OH⁻ and the volume we can find [OH⁻] and [H⁺] using Kw. As pH = -log[H⁺], we can solve this problem:

<em>Moles Ba(OH)₂ molar mass: 171.34g/mol</em>

0.240g * (1mol / 171.34g) = 1.4x10⁻³ moles * 2 =

2.80x10⁻³ moles of OH⁻

<em>Molarity [OH⁻] and [H⁺]</em>

2.80x10⁻³ moles of OH⁻ / 0.170L = 0.01648M

As Kw at 25°C is 1x10⁻¹⁴:

Kw = 1x10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] [H⁺]

[H⁺] = Kw / [OH⁻] = 1x10⁻¹⁴/0.01648M = 6.068x10⁻¹³M

<em>pH:</em>

pH = -log [H⁺]

pH = -log [6.068x10⁻¹³M]

<h3>pH = 12.22</h3>

Desert plants commonly have small wax coated leaves to prevent moisture and water from evaporating. It is an important feature in desert plants to adapt to the arid climate. The wax on the leaves also protect the leaves from the chilling temperature of the desert at night.

When excess dilute hydrochloric acid was added to sodium sulphite 960 of sulphuric (iv) oxide was produced. calculate the mass o
irakobra [83]

The mass of sodium sulfite that was used will be 1,890 grams.

<h3>Stoichiometric problems</h3>

First, the equation of the reaction:

NaSO_3 + 2HCl --- > NaCl_2 + H_2O + SO_2

The mole ratio of SO2 produced and sodium sulfite that reacted is 1:1.

Mole of 960 grams SO2 = 960/64 = 15 moles

Equivalent mole of sodium sulfite that reacted = 15 moles

Mass of 15 moles sodium sulfite = 15 x 126 = 1,890 grams
