Answer:

pOH = 1.3, pH = 12.7

Explanation:

Since NaOH is a strong base, it will completely ionize; further, since it completely ionizes, our hydroxide concentration (a product of the ionization) will be the same as the given concentration of NaOH.

NaOH -> Na⁺ + OH⁻, [OH⁻] = 5.0 x 10^-2 M

pOH is the negative log of the hydroxide concentration, so plug our hydroxide concentration in:

pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log[5.0 x 10^-2 M] = 1.3

Since pH + pOH = 14, we can plug in pOH and solve for pH:

pH + 1.3 = 14

pH = 14 - 1.3 = 12.7

Thus, our pOH = 1.3 and pH = 12.7.

How many milliliters of 0.200 m fecl3 are needed to react with an excess of na2s to produce 1.38 g of fe2s3 if the percent yield

ahrayia [7]

Answer: 100 ml


Explanation:

1) Convert 1.38 g of Fe₂S₃ into number of moles, n

i) Formula: n = mass in grass / molar mass

ii) molar mass of Fe₂S₃ =2 x 55.8 g/mol + 3 x 32.1 g/mol = 207.9 g/mol


iii) n = 1.38 g / 207.9 g/mol = 0.00664 moles of Fe₂S₃


2) Use the percent yield to calculate the theoretical amount:


65% = 0.65 = actual yield/ theoretical yield =>

theoretical yield = actual yield / 0.65 = 0.00664 moles / 0.65 = 0.010 mol Fe₂S₃

3) Chemical equation:


 3 Na₂S(aq) + 2 FeCl₃(aq) → Fe₂S₃(s) + 6 NaCl(aq)

4) Stoichiometrical mole ratios:


3 mol Na₂S : 2 mol FeCl₃ : 1 mol Fe₂S₃ : 6 mol NaCl

5) Proportionality:

2moles FeCl₃ / 1 mol Fe₂S₃ = x / 0.010 mol Fe₂S₃

=> x = 0.020 mol FeCl₃

6) convert 0.020 mol to volume


i) Molarity formula: M = n / V


ii) V = n / M = 0.020 mol / 0.2 M = 0.1 liter = 100 ml

One should know properties of constituents of a mixture to separate the mixture .Why?

klio [65]

Answer:

Because: The mixtures contain unwanted substances which may be harmful and may degrade the properties of mixtures. So we, need to separated them and extract useful substances.

Contrast a mixture and a pure substance. In your answer be sure to explain what each is, how you can tell them apart, and supply

Wewaii [24]

A pure substance has a definite and constant composition. A pure substance can be either an element or a compound, but the composition of a pure substance doesn’t vary. Ex: salt or sugar

Mixtures are physical combinations of pure substances that have no definite or constant composition — the composition of a mixture varies according to who prepares the mixture. Ex: sand mixed with salt

At a certain temperature the equilibrium constant, Kc, equals 0.11 for the reaction:

Butoxors [25]

Answer: The equilibrium concentration of ICl is 0.27 M

Explanation:

We are given:

Initial moles of iodine gas = 0.45 moles

Initial moles of chlorine gas = 0.45 moles

Volume of the flask = 2.0 L

The molarity is calculated by using the equation:

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume}}$
