(PLEASE ANSWER!!!!) Why is it necessary to add an indicator to the flask during an acid-base titration?

Answer: An indicator is itself a weak acid or weak base but a special one. The colour of the acid form is different from the colour of the base form. So you can tell when the pH of your solution has changed from being one to the other by seeing the colour change from one to the other. The particular pH where that colour change occurs depends on the particular indicator you use. The most common indicator in UG Chem Labs is probably the one called Phenolphthalein when it has its proton attached, it is colourless like water but when the proton comes off it is pink. This change happens around pH=8–9. any solution with pH below that (acidic) will make the phenolphthalein hold onto its proton and be colourless. Any pH above that will cause it to lose its proton and become pink.

What mass of Al(OH)3 is needed to completely react with 17.9g of HCl?
musickatia [10]

Answer:

12.8 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced neutralization reaction

Al(OH)₃ + 3 HCl ⇒ AlCl₃ + 3 H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 17.9 g of HCl

The molar mass of HCl is 36.46 g/mol.

17.9 g × 1 mol/36.46 g = 0.491 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of Al(OH)₃ that completely react with 0.491 moles of HCl

The molar ratio of Al(OH)₃ to HCl is 1:3. The reacting moles of Al(OH)₃ are 1/3 × 0.491 mol = 0.164 mol

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.164 moles of Al(OH)₃

The molar mass of Al(OH)₃ is 78.00 g/mol.

0.164 mol × 78.00 g/mol = 12.8 g

A 44.0 ml volume of 0.25 m hbr is titrated with 0.50 m koh. calculate the ph after addition of 22.0 ml of koh at 25 ∘c.
Helga [31]
The reaction between KOH and HBr is as follows ;
KOH + HBr ---> H₂O + KBr
Stoichiometry of base to acid is 1:1 molar ratio
Both are strong acid and strong base therefore complete ionization takes place
The number of KOH moles added - 0.50 M / 1000 mL/L x 22 mL = 0.011 mol
the number of HBr moles - 0.25 M /1000 mL/L x 44 mL = 0.011 mol
the number of H⁺ ions and OH⁻ ions are equal therefore the whole amount of acid has been completely neutralised by base.
No remaining acid nor base, therefore solution is neutral.
pH = 7 
thats the pH value for a neutral solution

Exactly 1.0 mol N2O4 is placed in an empty 1.0-L container and is allowed to reach equilibriumdescribed by the equation N2O4(g)↔
Vilka [71]

Answer : The correct option is, (C) 1.1

Solution :  Given,

Initial moles of N_2O_4 = 1.0 mole

Initial volume of solution = 1.0 L

First we have to calculate the concentration N_2O_4.

\text{Concentration of }N_2O_4=\frac{\text{Moles of }N_2O_4}{\text{Volume of solution}}

\text{Concentration of }N_2O_4=\frac{1.0moles}{1.0L}=1.0M

The given equilibrium reaction is,

                           N_2O_4(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO_2(g)

Initially                      c                 0

At equilibrium   (c-c\alpha)           2c\alpha

The expression of K_c will be,

K_c=\frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2O_4]}

K_c=\frac{(2c\alpha)^2}{(c-c\alpha)}

where,

\alpha = degree of dissociation = 40 % = 0.4

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

K_c=\frac{(2c\alpha)^2}{(c-c\alpha)}

K_c=\frac{(2\times 1\times 0.4)^2}{(1-1\times 0.4)}

K_c=1.066\aprrox 1.1

Therefore, the value of equilibrium constant for this reaction is, 1.1
