<u>Answer:</u> 0.0237 g of calcium carbonate would be required to neutralize the given amount of HCl

<u>Explanation:</u>

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration present in the solution

pH=-\log [H^+]      .....(1)

Given value of pH = 1.5

Putting values in equation 1:

1.5=-\log[H^+]

[H^+]=10^{(-1.5)}=0.0316M

Molarity is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per liter of solution. The units of molarity are mol/L. The formula used to calculate molarity:

\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{\text{Number of moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (mL)}}       .....(2)

We are given:

Volume of solution = 15.0 mL

Molarity of HCl = 0.0316 M

Putting values in equation 2:

0.0316=\frac{\text{Moles of HCl}\times 1000}{15.0}\\\\\text{Moles of HCl}=\frac{0.0316\times 15.0}{1000}=4.74\times 10^{-4}mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of HCl and calcium carbonate follows:

2HCl+CaCO_3\rightarrow H_2CO_3+CaCl_2

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of HCl reacts with 1 mole of calcium carbonate

So, 4.74\times 10^{-4}mol of HCl will react with = \frac{1}{2}\times 4.74\times 10^{-4}=2.37\times 10^{-4}mol of calcium carbonate

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass.

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Moles of calcium carbonate = 2.37\times 10^{-4}mol

Molar mass of calcium carbonate = 100.01 g/mol

Putting values in the above equation:

\text{Mass of }CaCO_3=(2.37\times 10^{-4}mol)\times 100.01g/mol\\\\\text{Mass of }CaCO_3=0.0237g

Hence, 0.0237 g of calcium carbonate would be required to neutralize the given amount of HCl

Describe professions for chemists​
zepelin [54]

Answer:

A chemist searches for new knowledge about chemicals and use it to improve the way we live. He or she may develop products such as synthetic fibers, drugs and cosmetics. Chemists create processes, including all refining and petrochemical processing, that reduce energy use and pollution.

Carry out the following operations as if they were calculations of experimental results and express each answer in standard nota
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

1. 10.6\; \rm m (one decimal place.)

2.0.79\; \rm g (two decimal places.)

3. 16.5\;\rm cm^2 (three significant figures.)

Explanation:

<h3>1.</h3>

The first and second expressions are additions and subtractions. When adding two numbers, the accuracy of the result is given by the number of decimal places in it. The result should have as many decimal places as the input with the least number of decimal places.

For example, in the first expression:

  • 5.6792\;\rm m has four decimal places.
  • 0.6\; \rm m has only one decimal place.
  • 4.33\; \rm m has two decimal places.

Therefore, the result should be rounded to one decimal place. Note that these units are compatible for addition, since they are all the same. The result should have the same unit (that is: \rm m.)

Therefore:

\rm 5.6792\; m + 0.6\; m + 4.33\; m \approx 10.6\; \rm m. (Rounded to one decimal place.)

<h3>2.</h3>

Similarly:

  • \rm 3.70\; \rm g has two decimal places.
  • 2.9133\; \rm g has four decimal places.

Therefore, the result should be rounded to two decimal places. Its unit should be \rm g (same as the unit of the two inputs.)

\rm 3.70\; g - 2.9133\; g \approx 0.79\; \rm g. (Rounded to two decimal places.)

<h3>3.</h3>

When multiplying two numbers, the accuracy of the result should be based on the number of significant figures in it. The result should have as many significant figures as the input with the least number of significant figures. In this expression:

  • 4.51\; \rm cm has three significant figures.
  • 3.6666\; \rm cm has five significant figures.

Therefore, the result should have only three significant figures.

The unit of the result is supposed to be the product of the units of the input. In this expression, that unit will be \rm cm \cdot cm, which is occasionally written as \rm cm^2.

\rm 4.51 \; cm \times 3.6666 \; cm \approx 16.5\; \rm cm^2. (Rounded to three significant figures.)
