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

Which is the best term to use when describing the energy of position?
Minchanka [31]
Answer: potential.

Chemical energy is the energy provided by a chemical reaction.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the speed.

Potential energy is the energy due to the position. For example, an object on the top of a mountain, has the possibility to perform work if it falls.

Electromagnetic energy. is propagated by waves: radio waves, infrared radiation, microwaves, etc.

If you are given the standard potential for the reduction of X^2+ is +0.51 V, and the standard potential for the reduction of A^2+ is -0.33, just add the two. The standard potential for an electrochemical cell with the cell is 0.18V
