Considering the definition of pOH and strong base, the pOH of the aqueous solution is 1.14

The pOH (or potential OH) is a measure of the basicity or alkalinity of a solution and indicates the concentration of ion hydroxide (OH-).

pOH is expressed as the logarithm of the concentration of OH⁻ ions, with the sign changed:

pOH= - log [OH⁻]

On the other hand, a strong base is that base that in an aqueous solution completely dissociates between the cation and OH-.

LiOH is a strong base, so the concentration of the hydroxide will be equal to the concentration of OH-. This is:

[LiOH]= [OH-]= 0.073 M

Replacing in the definition of pOH:

pOH= -log (0.073 M)

In summary, the pOH of the aqueous solution is 1.14

How many milliliters of nitrogen, N2, would have to be collected at 99.19 kPa and 28oC to have a sample containing 0.015 moles o

Semmy [17]

Answer:

378mL

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Pressure (P) = 99.19 kPa

Temperature (T) = 28°C

Number of mole (n) = 0.015 mole

Volume (V) =...?

Next, we shall convert the pressure and temperature to appropriate units. This is illustrated below:

For Pressure:

101.325 KPa = 1 atm

Therefore, 99.19 kPa = 99.19/101.325 = 0.98 atm

For Temperature:

T(K) = T(°C) + 273

T(°C) = 28°C

T(K) = 28°C + 273 = 301K.

Next we shall determine the volume of N2. The volume of N2 can be obtained by using the ideal gas equation as shown below:

PV = nRT

Pressure (P) = 0.98 atm

Temperature (T) = 301K

Number of mole (n) = 0.015 mole

Gas constant (R) = 0.0821atm.L/Kmol.

Volume (V) =...?

0.98 x V = 0.015 x 0.0821 x 301

Divide both side by 0.98

V = (0.015 x 0.0821 x 301) /0.98

V = 0.378 L

Finally, we shall convert 0.378 L to millilitres (mL). This is illustrated below:

1L = 1000mL

Therefore, 0.378L = 0.378 x 1000 = 378mL

Therefore, the volume of N2 collected is 378mL

What is the equilibrium constant of a reaction?

xeze [42]

Answer:

A. It is the ratio of the concentrations of products to the concentrations of reactants.

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant of a chemical reaction is the ratio of the concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.

This equilibrium constant can be expressed in many different formats.

For any system, the molar concentration of all the species on the right side are related to the molar concentrations of those on the left side by the equilibrium constant.
The equilibrium constant is a constant at a given temperature and it is temperature dependent.
The derivation of the equilibrium constant is based on the law of mass action.
It states that "the rate of a chemical reaction is proportional to the product of the concentration of the reacting substances. "

What is the theoretical yield of aspirin ( C 9 H 8 O 4 ), which has a molar mass of 180.15 g/mol, possible when reacting 3.03 g

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The theoretical yield of aspirin is 3.95 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of salicylic acid = 3.03 grams

Volume of acetic anhydride = 3.61 mL

Density of acetic anhydride = 1.08 g/cm³

Step 2: The balanced equation

C4H6O3+C7H6O3→C9H8O4+C2H4O2

Step 3: Calculate moles salicylic acid

Moles salicylic acid = mass salicylic acid / molar mass salicylic acid

Moles salicylic acid = 3.03 grams /138.121 g/mol

Moles salicylic acid = 0.0219 moles

Step 4: Calculate mass acetic anhydride

Mass acetic anhydride = volume * density

Mass acetic anhydride = 3.61 mL * 1.08 g/mL

Mass acetic anhydride = 3.90 grams

Step 5: Calculate moles acetic anhydride

Moles acetic anhydride = 3.90 grams / 102.09 g/mol

Moles acetic anhydride = 0.0382 moles

Step 6: Calculate limiting reactant

For 1 mol salicylic acid we need 1 mol acetic anhydride to produce 1 mol aspirin

Salicylic acid is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed. (0.0219 moles). Acetic anhydride is in excess. There will react 0.0219 moles. There remain 0.0382 - 0.0219 =0.0163 moles

Step 7: Calculate moles aspirin

For 1 mol salicylic acid we need 1 mol acetic anhydride to produce 1 mol aspirin

For 0.0219 moles salicylic acid we'll have 0.0219 moles aspirin

Step 8: Calculate theoretical yield of aspirin

Mass of aspirin = moles aspirin *molar mass aspirin

Mass of aspirin = 0.0219 moles *180.15 g/mol

Mass of aspirin = 3.95 grams

The theoretical yield of aspirin is 3.95 grams

Calculate the poh of this solution. round to the nearest hundredth. ph = 1.90 poh =

Viktor [21]

Answer:

The answer is 5.10

Explanation:

<h3><u>Given</u>;</h3>

pH = 1.9

pOH = ?

We know that

pH + pOH = 7

pOH = 7 – pH

pOH = 7 – 1.90

pOH = 5.10

Thus, The pOH of the solution is 5.10
