Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The information than can be inferred from knowing the pH value of a chemical solution is the hydrogen or hydroxyl ion concentration of the solution.

The pH of a solution is the degree of acidity or alkalinity of the solution. Mathematically, the pH of a solution is expressed as:

pH = $-log_{10}[H^+]$ where $[H^+]$ = hydrogen ion concentration.

Also,

pH = 14 - pOH, where pOH = $-log_{10}[OH^-]$

The more the $[H^+]$ of a solution, the lower the pH, and the more the $[OH^-]$ of a solution the higher the pH. The pH value ranges from 0 - 14 with 7 being a neutral pH.

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Option D. There will be a shift toward the reactants.

Explanation:

The reaction is:

$PCl_5(g)+heat\rightleftharpoons PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)$

The application of LeChatelier's principle leads to consider the heat as a reactant or a product depending on if it is on the left side or the right side.

In this reaction, the heat is on the left side, thus it must be considered a reactant.

Decreasing the temperature is equivalent to remove or consume heat. Thus, the reaction must shif to the left to compensate that reduction of heat. That is the reverse reaction shall be favored.

In conclusion, there will be a shift toward the reactants.

A 5.024 mg sample of an unknown organic molecule containing carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen only was burned and yielded 13.90 mg

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

C8H17N

Explanation:

Mass of the unknown compound = 5.024 mg

Mass of CO2 = 13.90 mg

Mass of H2O = 6.048 mg

Next, we shall determine the mass of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen present in the compound. This is illustrated below:

For carbon, C:

Molar mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 44g/mol

Mass of C = 12/44 x 13.90 = 3.791 mg

For hydrogen, H:

Molar mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass of H = 2/18 x 6.048 = 0.672 mg

For nitrogen, N:

Mass N = mass of unknown – (mass of C + mass of H)

Mass of N = 5.024 – (3.791 + 0.672)

Mass of N = 0.561 mg

Now, we can obtain the empirical formula for the compound as follow:

C = 3.791 mg

H = 0.672 mg

N = 0.561 mg

Divide each by their molar mass

C = 3.791 / 12 = 0.316

H = 0.672 / 1 = 0.672

N = 0.561 / 14 = 0.040

Divide by the smallest

C = 0.316 / 0.04 = 8

H = 0.672 / 0.04 = 17

N = 0.040 / 0.04 = 1

Therefore, the empirical formula for the compound is C8H17N

How many acetone molecules are in a bottle of acetone with a volume of 445 mL ? (density of acetone = 0.788 g/cm3).

Mkey [24]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: $3.63x10^{24}particles$

First, we need to calculate the molecular weight of the acetone (CH3COCH3)

So,

$C=12.011g/mol\\O=15.99g/mol\\H=1.008g/mol$

Then,

$CH3COCH3=12.011+(1.008)*3+12.011+15.999+12.011+(1.008)*3=58.08g/mol$

Second, we need to calculate the mass of the acetone in the bottle

We need to remember that $1cm^{3}=1mL$

So,

$445cm^{3}*\frac{0.788g}{cm^{3}}=350.66g$

Third, we need to calculate the number of moles:

$350.66g*\frac{1mol}{58.08g}=6.03moles$

Fourth, we need to calculate the number of atoms:

Remember, $1 mol=6.022x10^{23}particles$

Therefore,

$6.03moles*\frac{6.022x10^{23}particles }{1mol}=3.63x10^{24}particles$

Have a nice day!

A person of 82 kg is in an elevator. If the elevator is moving at a speed of 5m/s, what’s the person’s kinetic energy.

andre [41]

Answer:

The person’s kinetic energy is 1,025 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is a form of energy. It is defined as the energy associated with bodies that are in motion and this energy depends on the mass and speed of the body.

Kinetic energy is defined as the amount of work necessary to accelerate a body of a given mass and in a position of rest, until it reaches a given speed. Once this point is reached, the amount of accumulated kinetic energy will remain the same unless there is a change in speed or the body returns to its state of rest by applying a force.

Kinetic energy is represented by the following formula:

$Ec=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}$

where Ec is kinetic energy, which is measured in Joules (J), m is mass measured in kilograms (kg), and v is velocity measured in meters over seconds (m/s).

In this case:

Ec= ?
m= 82 kg

v= 5 $\frac{m}{s}$

Replacing:

$Ec=\frac{1}{2}*82 kg*(5\frac{m}{s} )^{2}$

Solving:

Ec= 1,025 J

The person’s kinetic energy is 1,025 J
