Seawater has a ph of 8.1. what is the concentration of oh–?

1 answer:

4 0

PH scale is used to determine how acidic or basic a solution is.
pH can be calculated as follows;
by knowing the ph we can calculate pOH
pH + pOH = 14
pOH = 14 - 8.1
pOH = 5.9
pOH is used to calculate the hydroxide ion concentration
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
[OH⁻] = antilog(-pOH)
[OH⁻] = 1.26 x 10⁻⁶ M
therefore hydroxide ion concentration is 1.26 x 10⁻⁶ M

A potassium bromide solution is 8.30% potassium bromide by mass and its density is 1.03 g/ml. what mass of potassium bromide is

pshichka [43]

Answer: The mass of potassium bromide present in 41.2 mL of solution will be 3.522 grams.

Explanation:

We are given that KBr is present in 8.3% KBr solution, which means that 8.3 grams of potassium bromide is present in 100 gram of the solution.

To calculate the volume of KBr, we use the formula:

$Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

Mass of the solution = 100 grams

Density of KBr solution = 1.03g/mL

Volume of the solution = ? mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.03g/mL=\frac{100g}{Volume}\\\\Volume=97.08mL$

Now, to calculate the mass of KBr in 41.2mL of the solution, we use unitary method.

In 97.08 mL of solution, mass of KBr present is 8.3 grams.

So, 41.2 mL of solution will contain = $\frac{8.3g}{97.08mL}\times 41.2mL=3.522g$ of KBr.

Hence, the mass of potassium bromide present in 41.2 mL of solution will be 3.522 grams.

A chemical reaction occurs when 2 white solids are stirred together they turn into a slushy white solid and the glass jar feels

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Absorbed, endothermic

Explanation:

Based on the heat of reaction, chemical reactions may be classified as endothermic or exothermic.

In an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed from the surrounding. As heat is absorbed from the surrounding, the reaction vessel feels cool when touched.

On the other hand, in an exothermic reaction, heat is given out by the system to the surrounding and the reaction vessel feels hot when touched.

Hence the reaction is endothermic and energy is absorbed during the reaction.

The two isotopes of chlorine are LaTeX: \begin{matrix}35\\17\end{matrix}Cl35 17 C l and LaTeX: \begin{matrix}37\\17\end{matrix}C

Kay [80]

Answer: The percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ and $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.

Explanation:

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

$\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i$ .....(1)

Let the fractional abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope be 'x'. So, fractional abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope will be '1 - x'

For $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 35 amu

Fractional abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = x

For $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 37 amu

Fractional abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 1 - x

Average atomic mass of chlorine = 35.45 amu

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$35.45=[(35\times x)+(37\times (1-x))]\\\\x=0.775$

Percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = $0.775\times 100=77.5\%$

Percentage abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = $(1-0.775)=0.225\times 100=22.5\%$

Hence, the percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ and $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.
