Answer:

pH = 11.30

Explanation:

pH is defined as -log [H⁺]

To find [H⁺] from [OH⁻] -Concentration of hydroxide ion-, we must use the equilibrium of water:

H₂O(l) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Keq = 1x10⁻¹⁴ = [H⁺] [OH⁻]

[H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / [OH⁻]

[H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 2x10⁻³M

[H⁺] = 5x10⁻¹²M

pH = -log (5x10⁻¹²M)

Quinine, an antimalarial drug, is 8.63% nitrogen. There are two nitrogen atoms per molecule. What is the molecular weight of qui

Furkat [3]

Answer:

324.18 g/mol

Explanation:

Let the molecular mass of the antimalarial drug, Quinine is x g/mol

According to question,

Nitrogen present in the drug is 8.63% of x

So, mass of nitrogen = $\frac {8.63}{100}\times x$

Also, according to the question,

2 atoms are present in 1 molecule of the drug.

Mass of nitrogen = 14.01 amu = 14.01 g/mol (grams for 1 mole)

So, mass of nitrogen = 14.01×2 = 28.02

These 2 must be equal so,

$\frac {8.63}{100}\times x=28.02$

solving for x, we get:

A sample of gas X occupies 10 mº at a pressure of 120 kPa.

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The new pressure of the gas comes out to be 400 KPa.

Explanation:

Initial volume of gas = V = $10\textrm{ m}^{3}$

Initial pressure of gas = P = 120 KPa

Final volume of gas = V' = $3\textrm{ m}^{3}$

Assuming temperature to be kept constant.

Assuming final pressure of the gas to be P' KPa

$PV = P'V' \\120\textrm{ KPa}\times 10\textrm{ m}^{3} = \textrm{P'}\times 3\textrm{ m}^{3} \\\textrm{P'} = 400\textrm{ KPa}$

New pressure of gas = 400 KPa

A mixture of three gases has a total pressure of 365 mmHg. Gas A contributes a pressure of 53 mmHg and gas B contributes a press

adoni [48]

This one is the easiest law, but you would take 53 and 185 and add them together to get 235 and then you will minus 235 and 365 and the answer you are looking for is 130 mmHg! Hopefully this helped you!!
