In a hospital laboratory, a 10.0 mL sample of gastric juice (predominantly HCl), obtained several hours after a meal, was titrat

ed with 0.1 M NaOH to neutrality; 7.2 mL of NaOH was required. The patient’s stomach contained no ingested food or drink, thus assume that no buffers were present. What was the pH of the gastric juice?

Answer: 1.14

Explanation:

HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O

To calculate the molarity of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is HCl

are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

n_1=1\\M_1=?\\V_1=10.0mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.1M\\V_2=7.2mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1\times M_1\times 10.0=1\times 0.1\times 7.2\\\\M_1=0.072M

To calculate pH of gastric juice:

molarity of H^+ = 0.072

pH=-log[H^+]

pH=-log(0.072)=1.14

Thus the pH of the gastric juice is 1.14

The table below shows two conclusions about atoms based on experiments by Rutherford and Thompson. Which of these statements bes
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

New experimental processes provide new scientific evidence

Explanation:

Thompson  experimented  on  the  cathode  rays  but  Rutherford's  experiment  was  more  expanded  and  perfectly  visualized.  When  Henri becquerel  found  the  evidence  of  radioactivity  Rutherford  went  on  this  experiment  using  alpha  rays  but  what's  interesting  is  if  becquerel  dint  found  any  evidence  about  radioactivity  Rutherford  would  never  find  about  atomic  particles.  So  the  answer  would  be New experimental processes provide new scientific evidence.

Science  changes  everyday  scientists  find  facts  and  in  a  snap  other  scientist  proves  that  information  is  wrong.  That 's  how  the  science  build  up.  It  starts  by  trying  things  until  its  the  right  one.
