What is the pH of a solution of 1 x 10-5 M NaOH? Is the solution acidic or basic?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: to calculate pH use -log[H+] or - log[OH-]..the solution is basic as the “NaOH” is attached to a hydroxide.Since we need to find the pH (per hydrogen) and not the pOH( per hydroxide) we need to find the pOH of the substance first then we subtract that by 14 so we can arrive at the pH of the substance.

Explanation: So -log( 1 x 10^(-5)) = 5 which is the pOH.Now we subtract that by 14 which gives us -9 and now you’d multiply that by -1 bcuz we can’t have a negative so the pH of the substance is 9

When 7.085 grams of a hydrocarbon, CxHy, were burned in a combustion analysis apparatus, 21.71 grams of CO2 and 10.37 grams of H

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

- Empirical:

$C_3H_7$

- Molecular:

$C_6H_{14}$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, based on the information regarding the combustion, the moles of carbon turn out:

$n_C=21.71gCO_2*\frac{1molCO_2}{44gCO_2}*\frac{1molC}{1molCO_2}=0.493molC$

Moreover, the moles of hydrogen:

$n_H=10.37gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18gH_2O}*\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O}=1.152molH$

Thus, the subscripts of carbon and hydrogen in the hydrocarbon turn out:

$C=\frac{0.4934}{0.4934}=1\\H=\frac{1.15222}{0.4934}=2.335\\CH_{2.335}$

Now, looking for a suitable whole number we obtain the following empirical formula as 2.335 times 3 is 7 for hydrogen:

$C_3H_7$

In such a way, that compound has a molar mass of 43 g/mol, thus, the whole compound's molar mass is 86.18 g/mol for which the molecular formula is twice the empirical one, therefore:

$C_6H_{14}$

Which is hexane.

Best regards.
