Answer:The pH of the solution is given by pH=−log([H3O+])

Explanation:so you can't use

pH

=

−

log

(

0.150

)

because that's the concentration of the hydroxide anions,

OH

−

, not of the hydronium cations,

H

3

O

+

. In essence, you calculated the

pOH

of the solution, not its

pH

.

Sodium hydroxide is a strong base, which means that it dissociates completely in aqueous solution to produce hydroxide anions in a

1

:

1

mole ratio.

NaOH

(

a

q

)

→

Na

+

(

a

q

)

+

OH

−

(

a

q

)

So your solution has

[

OH

−

]

=

[

NaOH

]

=

0.150 M

Now, the

pOH

of the solution can be calculated by using

pOH

=

−

log

(

[

OH

−

]

)

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

In your case, you have

pOH

=

−

log

(

0.150

)

=

0.824

Now, an aqueous solution at

25

∘

C

has

pH + pOH

=

14

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−so you can't use

A 4.3 L gas bubble at STP is heated to 984 K, and the pressure increases to 1520 mmHg. What is the new volume?
Natalka [10]

Answer:

v2=40.35L

Explanation:

p1v1/t1=p2v2/t2

v2=t2p1v1/t1p2

v2=984*760*22.4/273.15*1520

v2=40.35 L

If a gas displays a solubility of 0.00290M at a partial pressure of 125 kPa, what is the proportionality constant for this gas i
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The proportionality constant ( Henry’s constant) = 2.32 * 10^-5 M/kPa

Explanation:

Here in this question, we are concerned with calculating the proportionality constant for this gas.

Mathematically, we can get this from Henry law

From Henry law;

Concentration = Henry constant * partial pressure

Thus Henry constant = concentration/partial pressure

Henry constant = 0.00290 M/125 kPa = 2.32 * 10^-5 M/kPa
