Answer:

Explain the difference between total and average molecular kinetic energy of a gas contained in a box. As an average K.E. of the particles increases, the object's temperature increases. Total Kinetic Energy is the sum of energy. Explain how a liquid thermometer measure temperature.

The total kinetic energy of a body or a system is equal to the sum of the kinetic energies resulting from each type of motion.

A beaker with 1.60×102 mL of an acetic acid buffer with a pH of 5.000 is sitting on a benchtop. The total molarity of acid and c

stich3 [128]

Answer:

The pH will change 0.16 ( from 5.00 to 4.84)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

volume of acetic acid buffer = 160 mL

The total molarity of acid and conjugate base in this buffer is 0.100 M

A student adds 7.10 mL of a 0.460 M HCl solution to the beaker.

The pKa of acetic acid is 4.740

pH = 5.00

Step 2: Calculate concentration of acid

Consider x = concentration acid

Consider y = concentration conjugate base

x + y = 0.100

5.00 = 4.740 + log y/x

5.00 - 4.740 = log y/x

0.26 = log y/x

10^0.26 =1.82 = y/x

1.82 x = y

Since x+y = 0.100

x + 1.82 x = 0.100

2.82 x = 0.100

x =0.0355 M = concentration acid

Step 3: Calculate concentration of conjugate base

y = 0.100 - x

0.100 - 0.0355 =0.0645 M= concentration conjugate base

Step 4: Calculate moles of acid

Moles = volume * molarity

moles acid = 0.160 L * 0.0355 M= 0.00568 moles

Step 5: Calculate moles of conjugate base

moles conjugate base = 0.0645 M * 0.160 L=0.01032 moles

Step 6: Calculate moles HCl

moles HCl = 7.10 * 10^-3 L * 0.460 M=0.003266 moles

Step 7: Calculate new moles

A- + H+ = HA

moles conjugate base = 0.01032 - 0.003266 =0.007054 moles

moles acid = 0.00568 + 0.003266=0.008946 moles

Step 8: Calculate the total volume

total volume = 160 + 7.10 = 167.1 mL = 0.1671 L

Step 9: Calculate the concentration of the acid

concentration acid = 0.008946/ 0.1671 =0.0535 M

Step 10: Calculate the concentration of conjugate base

concentration conjugate base = 0.007054/ 0.1671 =0.0422 M

Step 11: Calculate the pH

pH = 4.740 + log 0.0535/ 0.0422=4.84

change pH = 5.00 - 4.84=0.16

The pH will change 0.16

To determine the concentration of SO4 2– ion in a sample of groundwater, 100.0 mL of the sample is titrated with 0.0250 M Ba(NO3

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

1.87x10⁻³ M SO₄²⁻

Explanation:

The reaction of SO₄²⁻ with Ba²⁺ (From Ba(NO₃)₂) is:

SO₄²⁻(aq) + Ba²⁺(aq) → BaSO₄(s)

Where 1 mole of SO₄²⁻ reacts per mole of Ba²⁺

To reach the end point in this titration, we need to add the same moles of Ba²⁺ that the moles that are of SO₄²⁻.

Thus, to find molarity of SO₄²⁻ we need to find first the moles of Ba²⁺ added (That will be the same of SO₄²⁻). And as the volume of the initial sample was 100mL we can find molarity (As ratio of moles of SO₄²⁻ per liter of solution).

Moles Ba²⁺:

7.48mL = 7.48x10⁻³L ₓ (0.0250moles / L) = 1.87x10⁻⁴ moles of Ba²⁺ = Moles of SO₄²⁻

Molarity SO₄²⁻:

As there are 1.87x10⁻⁴ moles of SO₄²⁻ in 100mL = 0.1L, molarity is:

1.87x10⁻⁴ moles of SO₄²⁻ / 0.1L =

A substance formed when two or more chemical elements are chemically bonded together?

Ronch [10]

Answer: a piece of pure matter which we can see from our naked eye is termed as a substance

Explanation:

every substance has physical and chemical properties like;

diamond ,water ,pure sugar ,table salt e.t.c

an element is a substance made up of same type of atoms having same atomic number[protons],and cannot be easily decomposed in to a single substance by ordinary chemical reaction example,.....

gold,copper,zinc and some are in liquid form like mercury,bromine and some are in gases for example, hydrogen ,oxygen, nitrogen
