Answer:
And what is your question
Explanation:
Adding solvent or removing solute from a solution is called diluting. And a solution is said to be concentrated if it has more solute. The opposite of diluting is called concentrating. The measure of the amount of solute in a solution is expressed in concentration.
1.062 mol/kg.
<em>Step 1</em>. Write the balanced equation for the neutralization.
MM = 204.22 40.00
KHC8H4O4 + NaOH → KNaC8H4O4 + H2O
<em>Step 2</em>. Calculate the moles of potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP)
Moles of KHP = 824 mg KHP × (1 mmol KHP/204.22 mg KHP)
= 4.035 mmol KHP
<em>Step 3</em>. Calculate the moles of NaOH
Moles of NaOH = 4.035 mmol KHP × (1 mmol NaOH/(1 mmol KHP)
= 4.035 mmol NaOH
<em>Step 4</em>. Calculate the mass of the NaOH
Mass of NaOH = 4.035 mmol NaOH × (40.00 mg NaOH/1 mmol NaOH)
= 161 mg NaOH
<em>Step 5</em>. Calculate the mass of the water
Mass of water = mass of solution – mass of NaOH = 38.134 g - 0.161 g
= 37.973 g
<em>Step 6</em>. Calculate the molal concentration of the NaOH
<em>b</em> = moles of NaOH/kg of water = 0.040 35 mol/0.037 973 kg = 1.062 mol/kg
pH is an important parameter for many reactions to take place in solution and in biological systems. It is related to the concentration of H⁺ ions through the following expression:
pH = 1/[H⁺] = -log [H⁺]
Wanting to know the pH of a solution is equivalent to knowing the amount of hydrogen ions present. But the pH scale is more convenient than the concentration scale because pH usually takes values between 0 and 14.
- When pH < 7 the solution is acid.
- When pH = 7 the solution is neutral (like pure water).
- When pH > 7 the solution is basic.
