Answer:

pH= 1.17

Explanation:

The neutralization reaction between HBr (acid) and KOH (base) is given by the following equation:

HBr(aq) + KOH(aq) → KBr(aq) + H₂O(l)

According to this equation, 1 mol of HBr reacts with 1 mol of KOH. Then, the moles can be expressed as the product between the molarity of the acid/base solution (M) and the volume in liters (V). So, we calculate the moles of acid and base:

<u>Acid</u>:

M(HBr) = 0.15 M = 0.15 mol/L

V(HBr) = 50.0 mL x 1 L/1000 mL = 0.05 L

moles of HBr = M(HBr) x V(HBr) = 0.15 mol/L x 0.05 L = 7.5 x 10⁻³ moles HBr

<u>Base</u>:

M(KOH) = 0.25 M = 0.25 mol/L

V(HBr) = 13.0 mL x 1 L/1000 mL = 0.013 L

moles of HBr = M(HBr) x V(HBr) = 0.25 mol/L x 0.013 L = 3.25 x 10⁻³ moles KOH

Now, we have: 7.5 x 10⁻³ moles HBr > 3.25 x 10⁻³ moles KOH

HBr is a strong acid and KOH is a strong base, so they are completely dissociated in water: the acid produces H⁺ ions and the base produces OH⁻ ions. So, the difference between the moles of HBr and the moles of KOH is equal to the moles of remaining H⁺ ions after neutralization:

moles of H⁺ = 7.5 x 10⁻³ moles HBr - 3.25 x 10⁻³ moles KOH = 4.25 x 10⁻³ moles H⁺

From the definition of pH:

pH = -log [H⁺]

The concentration of H⁺ ions is calculated from the moles of H⁺ divided into the total volume:

total volume = V(HBr) + V(KOH) = 0.05 L + 0.013 L = 0.063 L

[H⁺] = (moles of H⁺)/(total volume) = 4.25 x 10⁻³ moles/0.063 L = 0.067 M

Finally, we calculate the pH after neutralization:

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log (0.067) = 1.17

If your lawn is 21.0 ft wide and 20.0 ft long, and each square foot of lawn accumulates 1350 new snow flakes every minute. How m
GaryK [48]
<span>First we can calculate the area of the rectangular lawn using the formula:
Area = Width x Length = 21 ft x 20 ft = 420 square feet
       
And the total number of snow flakes per minute on the entire lawn is:
   
(1350 snowflakes per minute per square foot) x (420 square feet) = 567,000 snowflakes per minute
       
In one hour (or 60 minutes) we get a total of:
   
(567,000 snowflakes per minute) x (60 minutes / 1 hour) = 34,020,000 snowflakes
       
The total mass of which would be:
   
34,020,000 snowflakes x 1.60 mg = 54,432,000 mg = 54.432 kg (as 1 kg = 1,000,000 mg).
       
So 54.432 kg of snow accumulates every hour on the lawn.</span>

  • Atoms that loss or gain electrons are called ions. There are two types of ions: cations and anions.
  • Here, 2+ represents that Calcium (Ca) should gain 2 more electrons so that its number equals to that of protons.
  • 3- represents that Nitrogen (N) should loss 3 electrons to equivalent with the number of protons.
  • Here, anions are S^2-, P^3-, Se^2-, Br^-.
  • While cations are Cr^3+, Ag^+, Li^+, Ba^2+.
  • The number of protons of Magnesium (Mg) = 12
  • The number of nuetrons of Mg = 12
  • The number of electrons of Mg = 12

Hope you could get an idea from here.
