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!

What happens to the air in the colloid when ice cream melts
Contact [7]

The colloid formed by ice cream remains stable only at cold temperatures. When ice cream is warmed above freezing, its dispersed particles absorb energy and begin to move faster. When the fast-moving particles collide, they sometimes stick together.

knowing that the reaction of potassium in water is extremely exothermic, what would be the problem with adding a large piece of
anygoal [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the reaction is really exothermic (and it is) then the water would spatter all over the place. It would boil off if the container could hold it. It would also react according to the following reaction.

You are talking about a reaction like

2K + 2HOH = 2KOH + H2

For question numbers 1 and 2, two statements are given - one labelled
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

(iv) (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Explanation:

It is not true that carbon has a strong tendency to either lose or gain electrons to attain noble gas configuration. Carbon is a member of group 14, it is the first member of the group and carbon is purely a non metal. Only metals metals can loose electrons to attain the noble gas configuration. Moreover, carbon does not participate in ionic bonding so it does not gain electrons to attain the noble gas configuration.

However, carbon participates in covalent bonding where it is covalently bonded to four other chemical species using its four outermost electrons. Carbon forms covalent bonds in which four electrons are shared with other chemical species.

A 0.1326 g sample of magnesium was burned in an oxygen bomb calorimeter. the total heat capacity of the calorimeter plus water w
Sladkaya [172]

Answer: Th enthalpy of combustion for the given reaction is 594.244 kJ/mol

Explanation: Enthalpy of combustion is defined as the decomposition of a substance in the presence of oxygen gas.

W are given a chemical reaction:

Mg(s)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow MgO(s)

c=5760J/^oC

\Delta T=0.570^oC

To calculate the enthalpy change, we use the formula:

\Delta H=c\Delta T\\\\\Delta H=5760J/^oC\times 0.570^oC=3283.2J

This is the amount of energy released when 0.1326 grams of sample was burned.

So, energy released when 1 gram of sample was burned is = \frac{3283.2J}{0.1326g}=24760.181J/g

Energy 1 mole of magnesium is being combusted, so to calculate the energy released when 1 mole of magnesium ( that is 24 g/mol of magnesium) is being combusted will be:

\Delta H=24760.181J/g\times 24g/mol\\\\\Delta H=594244.3J/mol\\\\\Delta H=594.244kJ/mol
