Answer:

The correct answer is - hard water reacts to form the calcium or magnesium salt of the organic acid of the soap.

Explanation:

Soaps are made up of fatty acids or oils by treating with strong alkali and are salts of sodium and potassium. Hard water, on the other hand, has a high concentration of minerals in comparison to soft water. When hard water and soap are mixed together the salts of the minerals like Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions present in hard water react with fatty acids of the soap.

The sodium salts are changed to the salts of calcium and magnesium which are precipitated to an insoluble substance. The insoluble salts of the calcium or magnesium dirt stick on the clothes thus cleaning ability of soap is reduced.

A chemist titrates of a hypochlorous acid solution with solution at . Calculate the pH at equivalence. The of hypochlorous acid

const2013 [10]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

A chemist titrates 110.0 mL of a 0.2412 M hypochlorous acid (HCIO) solution with 0.0613 M NaOH solution at 25°C. Calculate the pH at equivalence. The pKa of hypochlorous acid is 7.50. Round your answer to 2 decimal places

Answer: The pH of the solution is 10.09

Explanation:

To calculate the volume of base, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is $HClO$

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

$n_1=1\\M_1=0.2412M\\V_1=110.0mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.0613M\\V_2=?mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1\times 0.2412\times 110.0=1\times 0.0613\times V_2\\\\V_2=\frac{1\times 0.2412\times 110.0}{1\times 0.0613}=432.8mL$

At equivalence, the number of moles of acid is equal to the number of moles of base. Also, the moles of salt which is NaClO will also be the same.

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$ .....(1)

For HClO:

Molarity of HClO solution = 0.2412 M

Volume of solution = 110.0 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.2412M=\frac{\text{Moles of HClO}\times 1000}{110}\\\\\text{Moles of HClO}=\frac{(0.2412\times 110)}{1000}=0.026532mol$

For NaClO:

Moles of NaClO = 0.026532 moles

Volume of solution = [432.8 + 110] mL = 542.8 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of NaClO}=\frac{0.026532\times 1000}{542.8}=0.0489M$

To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:

$pH=7+\frac{1}{2}[pK_a+\log C]$

where,

$pK_a$ = negative logarithm of weak acid which is hypochlorous acid = 7.50

C = concentration of the salt = 0.0489 M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pH=7+\frac{1}{2}[7.50+\log (0.0489)]\\\\pH=7+3.09=10.09$

Hence, the pH of the solution is 10.09

How many liters of nitrogen gas is produced if 50.0L of water is produced at STP?

Alona [7]

Answer:

25.0 liter of nitrogen gas

Explanation:

1. Chemical equation

Ammonium nitrite is a solid compound that decomposes into nitrogen gas and water vapor as per this chemical equation:

$NH_4NO_2(s)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2H_2O(g)$

2. Mole ratio

$1molN_2(g)/2molH_2O(g)$

3. Volume ratio

Since, both species are gases and are at same temperature and pressure, the volume ratio is equal to the mol ratio.

Thus, the volume ratio is:

$1literN_2(g)/2literH_2O(g)$

4. Use the volume ratio with the known amount of water produced

$50.0literH_2O(g)\times 1literN_2(g)/2literH_2O(g)=25.0literN_2(g)$
