Answer:

pH = 13.7.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, as we set up the chemical reaction between nitric acid and sodium hydroxide:

NaOH+HNO_3\rightarrow NaNO_3+H_2O

It is possible to realize there is a 1:1 mole ratio of acid to base, thus, we next compute the moles of each one:

n_{acid}=0.25L*1.5mol/L=0.375mol\\\\n_{base}=0.25L*2.5mol/L=0.625mol

In such a way, since the base react with more moles, there is leftover that we compute as shown below:

n_{base}^{leftover}=0.25mol

Afterwards, we compute the concentration given the new volume of 500 mL (0.500 L), as both volumes are added up:

[base]=0.25mol/0.500L=0.5M

Now, since sodium hydroxide is such a strong base, we compute the pOH first:

[OH^-]=[base]=0.5M

pOH=-log([OH^-])=-log(0.5M)\\\\pOH=0.30

And the pH:

pH=14-0.30\\\\pH=13.7

Best regards!

Choose the best tool for each scenario.
Mama L [17]

Answer:

a) Graph

b) Weight balance or gas syringe  or upside-down measuring cylinder

Explanation:

a) Identifying a trend in temperature change over time - The best tool for this scenario is to represents the temperature daily, weekly, monthly or annually on graph to interpret the fluctuation in temperature owing to local seasonal changes and weather conditions

b) Measuring the mass of a product of a chemical reaction - If the product is solid or liquid then the balance is used to measure the mass. If the product is a gas, then  gas syringe  or upside-down measuring cylinder is used.
