Answer:

15 ml

Explanation:

\frac{40,5}{y}=\frac{2,7}{1}

2,7y=40,5

y=40,5/2,7=405/27= 15ml

Use the following table to answer the question. Strong acids Weak acids Weak bases Strong bases HBr CH3COOH NH3 NaOH HCl HF NH4O
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer: The salt which has the highest pH is CH_3COONa

Explanation: Salts are formed by the reaction of acid and base. General equation for the generation of salt is given by:

HX+BOH\rightarrow BX+H_2O

The given salts are formed from the reaction of acids and bases.

1) K_2SO_4

This is a salt formed by the reaction of strong base (KOH) and strong acid (H_2SO_4) . So, this salt is a neutral salt.

H_2SO_4+2KOH\rightarrow K_2SO_4+2H_2O

2) CuSO_4

This is a salt which is formed by the reaction of weak base (Cu(OH)_2) and strong acid (H_2SO_4). So, this salt is an acidic salt.

H_2SO_4+Cu(OH)_2\rightarrow CuSO_4+2H_2O

3) NH_4Cl

This is a salt which is formed by the reaction of weak base (NH_3) and strong acid (HCl). So, this salt is an acidic salt.

HCl+NH_3\rightarrow NH_4Cl

4) CH_3COONa

This is a salt which is formed by the reaction of  strong base (NaOH) and weak acid (CH_3COOH). So, this salt is a basic salt.

CH_3COOH+NaOH\rightarrow CH_3COONa+H_2O

Now, we have to find the salt which has the highest pH value.

Highest pH value means that the salt must be basic in nature and from the given salts, only CH_3COONa is basic salt. Hence, this salt has the highest pH value.

The quantity of energy released or absorbed as heat during a chemical reaction is called the 28. a. temperature. c. entropy d. f
Tatiana [17]

Answer: enthalpy of reaction.

Explanation:

Temperature of the gas is defined as the degree of hotness or coldness of a body. It is expressed in units like ^0C and K

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from  an ordered arrangement to a disordered arrangement, the entropy is said to decrease and vice versa.

Free energy is the amount of energy that can be converted into useful work.

Enthalpy of the reaction is the difference between the energy of products and the energy of reactants. it is either the heat released or absorbed during the reaction. It is either positive or negative.
