Answer: 1.91 moles

Explanation:

First you want to find the molar mass of NaCL

Na = 22.99g Cl = 35.45g

22.99g + 35.45g = 54.44g

Then divide 111.5g by 54.44g and this will give you moles.

Identify the acids and the bases in the chemical equation

agasfer [191]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

Acids; HCl and HC5H5N+

Bases; C5H5N and Cl-

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

According to Bronsted-Lowry Theory an acid is a proton or hydrogen ion donor while a base is a proton or a hydrogen ion acceptor.
In this case, both HCl and HC5H5N+ are acids as they are donors of hydrogen ions. HCl is an acid to the forward reaction while HC5H5N+ is a acid to the reverse reaction.
On the other hand, C5H5N and Cl- are bases, they are acceptors of hydrogen ions. Cl- is a base in the reverse reaction while C5H5N is a base in the forward reaction.

When a fuel burns, what determines whether co or co^2 will be produced?

Galina-37 [17]

If it is incomplete or complete combustion. Normally the problems question with tell you.

EX:
"In the presence of plenty of oxygen" is complete combustion
"Not enough oxygen present" is incomplete combustion

How do the differences in the polyatomic ions po3 3- and po4 3- help you determine whether each ends in -ite or -ate?

Tcecarenko [31]

There is a rule in naming polyatomic anions containing oxygen. Those names ending in –ate are given to the most common oxyanion of an element. While those names ending in –ite are for those that contains fewer O atom for the same charge. Since P $PO_{3} ^{3-}$ has fewer O atoms, its name ends in –ite. Thus, P $PO_{3} ^{3-}$ is phosphite while P $PO_{4} ^{3-}$ is phosphate.

Match each of the following terms with the correct definition. Question 6 options: the variable that is measured as data in an e

Aleksandr [31]

The variable that is measured as data in an experiment is 1. the dependent variable.

The variables that are held constant in an experiment are 2. the controlled variables.

The variable that is changed by the experimenter is 5. the independent variable.

A count or measurement recorded during an experiment is 4. quantitative data.

Descriptions or observations during an experiment are 3. qualitative data.

Which of the following possess the greatest concentration of hydroxide ions?

jek_recluse [69]

Answer : The correct option is (d) a solution of 0.10 M NaOH

Explanation :

(a) a solution of pH 3.0

First we have to calculate the pOH.

$pH+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-pH\\\\pOH=14-3.0=11$

Now we have to calculate the $OH^-$ concentration.

$pOH=-\log [OH^-]$

$11=-\log [OH^-]$

$[OH^-]=1.0\times 10^{-11}M$

Thus, the $OH^-$ concentration is, $1.0\times 10^{-11}M$

(b) a solution of 0.10 M $NH_3$

As we know that 1 mole of $NH_3$ is a weak base. So, in a solution it will not dissociates completely.

So, the $OH^-$ concentration will be less than 0.10 M

(c) a solution with a pOH of 12.

We have to calculate the $OH^-$ concentration.

$pOH=-\log [OH^-]$

$12=-\log [OH^-]$

$[OH^-]=1.0\times 10^{-12}M$

Thus, the $OH^-$ concentration is, $1.0\times 10^{-12}M$

(d) a solution of 0.10 M NaOH

As we know that $NaOH$ is a strong base. So, it dissociates to give $Na^+$ ion and $OH^-$ ion.

So, 0.10 M of $NaOH$ in a solution dissociates to give 0.10 M of $Na^+$ ion and 0.10 M of $OH^-$ ion.

Thus, the $OH^-$ concentration is, 0.10 M

(e) a $1\times 10^{-4}M$ solution of $HNO_2$

As we know that 1 mole of $HNO_2$ in a solution dissociates to give 1 mole of $H^+$ ion and 1 mole of $NO_2^-$ ion.

So, $1\times 10^{-4}M$ of $HNO_2$ in a solution dissociates to give $1\times 10^{-4}M$ of $H^+$ ion and $1\times 10^{-4}M$ of $NO_2^-$ ion.

The concentration of $H^+$ ion is $1\times 10^{-4}M$

First we have to calculate the pH.

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

$pH=-\log (1.0\times 10^{-4})$

$pH=4$

Now we have to calculate the pOH.

$pH+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-pH\\\\pOH=14-4=10$

Now we have to calculate the $OH^-$ concentration.

$pOH=-\log [OH^-]$

$10=-\log [OH^-]$

$[OH^-]=1.0\times 10^{-10}M$

Thus, the $OH^-$ concentration is, $1.0\times 10^{-10}M$

From this we conclude that, a solution of 0.10 M NaOH possess the greatest concentration of hydroxide ions.

Hence, the correct option is (d)
