The pipet used for transferring the pickle juice to the flask was dirty and consequentially some of the pickle juice stuck to th

e inside of the pipet and was not analyzed. Would the determined percentage of acetic acid in the food sample be higher or lower due to this error? Explain your answer.

Explanation:

Since, some of the given sample is stuck inside and behind the pipet. Hence, there will occur a decrease in the percent of acetic acid.

This is because a decrease in concentration of the acid will also lead to a decrease in the amount of sample taken for the estimation. Since. lesser is the amount or concentration present lesser will be its analyte concentration.

For example, we took 10 mg of a pickel sample but 3 mg of the sample remain stuck in the pipet. This means we actually titrating a  sample less than 10 mg.

Therefore, the analyte concentration in the pickel will also be less.

What is the ph of a solution of 0.50 m acetic acid?
frosja888 [35]
You need to use the Ka for the acetic acid and the equilibrium equation.

Ka = 1.85 * 10^ -5

Equilibrium reaction: CH3COOH (aq) ---> CH3COO(-) + H(+)

Ka = [CH3COO-][H+] / [CH3COOH]

Molar concentrations at equilibrium

CH3COOH         CH3COO-     H+

 0.50  - x                  x                 x

Ka = x*x / (0.50 - x) = x^2 / (0.50 - x)

Given that Ka is << 1 => 0.50 >> x and 0.50 - x ≈ 0.50

=> Ka ≈ x^2 / 0.50

=> x^2 ≈ 0.50 * Ka = 0.50 * 1.85 * 10^ -5 = 0.925 * 10^ - 5 = 9.25 * 10 ^ - 6

=> x = √ [9.25 * 10^ -6] = 3.04 * 10^ -3 ≈ 0.0030

pH = - log [H+] = - log (x) = - log (0.0030) = 2.5

Answer: 2.5

How many miles are in 68 grams of copper 2 hydroxide, Cu (OH)2
BabaBlast [244]
Molar mass  Cu(OH)₂ =  <span>97.561 g/mol

1 mol --------- 97.561 g
? mol ---------- 68 g

moles = 68 * 1 / 97.561

moles = 68 / 97.561

= 0.6969 moles

What are the magnitude (size) and direction of the cumulative force acting on the car shown in the picture A. 30 N to the right
UNO [17]

Answer: The correct answer is option(A).

Explanation:

Total forces exerting on the car = F

F_r=50 N= Force on car exerting in right direction

F_l=20 N= Force on car exerting in left direction

F_u=2500 N= Force on car exerting in upward direction

F_d=2500 N= Force on car exerting in downward direction

F=F_r+F_l+F_u+F_d

(-F_u)=F_d (negative sign shows the direction)

Since, upward force are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction by which they will balance out each other.so, the net force car will be due to two forces F_r and F_l

F=F_r+F_l=50 N+(-20 N)=30 N(negative shows the direction)

The magnitude (size) and direction of the cumulative force acting on the car will 30 N towards right direction.Hence, correct answer is option(A).
