The most probable answer is: (a) <span>The black pot emits heat at a faster rate than the silver pot. It means the black pot conducts heat at a higher rate than the silver pot, that's why it cooled off faster. It also means that the silver pot retains heat better and is more of an insulator.</span>
We know that the number of moles HCl in 14.3mL of 0.1M HCl can be found by multiplying the volume (in L) by the concentration (in M).
(0.0143L HCl)x(0.1M HCl)=0.00143 moles HCl
Since HCl reacts with KOH in a one to one molar ratio (KOH+HCl⇒H₂O+KCl), the number of moles HCl used to neutralize KOH is the number of moles KOH. Therefore the 25mL solution had to contain 0.00143mol KOH.
To find the mass of KOH in the original mixture you have to divide the number of moles of KOH by the 0.025L to find the molarity of the KOH solution..
(0.00143mol KOH)/(0.025L)=0.0572M KOH
Since the morality does not change when you take some of the solution away, we know that the 250mL solution also had a molarity of 0.0572. That being said you can find the number of moles the mixture had by multiplying 0.0572M KOH by 0.250L to get the number of moles of KOH.
(0.0572M KOH)x(0.250L)=0.0143mol KOH
Now you can find the mass of the KOH by multiplying it by its molar mass of 56.1g/mol.
0.0143molx56.1g/mol=0.802g KOH
Finally you can calulate the percent KOH of the original mixture by dividing the mass of the KOH by 5g.
0.802g/5g=0.1604
the original mixture was 16% KOH
I hope this helps.
Answer:
Odd answer choices, but I would put "It shows you that water is a reversible reaction, which contains hydrogen and hydroxide reactions."
Explanation:
The first choice is weird, although water can be written as HOH that doesn't help you understand acids and bases.
The third choice doesn't do that either, and there are more ways for water to be formed than that.
The second choice helps you understand acids and bases, specifically, in water's self-ionization process. It also shows you that it is neutral because it is formed from Hydrogen, which is usually present in acids, and a Hydroxide group, which is usually present in bases.
