Answer:

HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) ===> H2O(l) + KCl(aq)

Note the stoichiometry of the balanced equations shows us that HCl and KOH react in a 1:1 mole ratio. So, let us find moles of HCl and moles of KOH that are present:

moles HCl = 250.0 ml x 1 L/1000 ml x 0.25 mol/L = 0.06250 moles HCl

moles KOH = 200.0 ml x 1 L/1000 ml x 0.40 mol/L = 0.0800 moles KOH

You can see that there are more moles of KOH than there are of HCl, meaning that KOH is in excess and after neutralizing all of the HCl, the solution will be left with excess KOH making the pH > 7 = BASIC

a 125-mL sample of liquid has a mass of 0.16kg. What is the density of the liquid with the proper number of significant figures?

natita [175]

The density of the liquid is 1.3 g/mL.

The mass of the liquid is 0.16 kg = 160 g.

The volume of the liquid is 125 mL.

Density = mass/volume = 160 g/125 mL = 1.3 g/mL

During the formation of the compound sodium chloride, the correct symbol and charge for each of the ions must be...

Xelga [282]

Answer : The correct symbol and charge for each of the ions must be $Na^{+1}$ and $Cl^{-1}$ .

Explanation :

Covalent compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound.

The covalent compound are usually formed when two non-metals react.

Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

Ionic compound are usually formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal.

As we know that the sodium chloride is an ionic compound in which sodium is an alkali metal and has one valence electron and chlorine is a non-metal and has 7 valence electrons.

When sodium atom donates an electron to a chlorine atom then it forms an ionic compound that is sodium chloride (NaCl) and the resulting positive ion $Na^{+1}$ and negative ion $Cl^{-1}$ form a stable ionic compound.

Hence, the correct symbol and charge for each of the ions must be $Na^{+1}$ and $Cl^{-1}$ .

What role does the rock play

goldfiish [28.3K]

Rocks are part of our planet. They tell stories like how they were formed and which environment they belong in. And it also tells us things about the past, because rocks came long before humans did.
