Answer:

The pH of the solution lies from 11 to 12.Hence, option e is correct.

Explanation:

The value of K_b for caffine = 4\times 10^{-4}

CafOH(aq)\rightleftharpoons Caf(aq)+OH^-(aq)

Initial

   0           0.01 M       0

AT equilibrium:

  x          (0.01 -x)M      x

K_b=\frac{x(0.01-x)}{(x)}

4\times 10^{-4}=\frac{x(0.01-x)}{(x)}

Solving for x:

x = 0.0096 M

The pOH of the solution is given by :

pOH=-\log[OH^-}

pOH=-\log[x]

pOH=-\log[0.0096]

pOH = 2.02

pH= 14 - pOH = 14 - 2.02 = 11.98

The pH of the solution lies from 11 to 12.

A sample weighing 30.0 grams contains 1.5g of salt/ determine the percent salt found in the sample
jeka57 [31]
<span>Percentage by mass is the amount in mass of a component in a mixture per 100 unit of mass of the total mixture. Percentage by mass is the same as  %w/w. We can determine this by dividing the mass of the solute with the total mass of the mixture. We calculate as follows:

Percent salt = 1.5 g salt / 30.0 g x 100 = 5%  </span>

A chemist wants to extract copper metal from copper chloride solution. The chemist places 1.50 grams of aluminum foil in a solut
Lisa [10]

Answer: d. More than 6.5 grams of copper (II) is formed, and some copper chloride is left in the reaction mixture.

Explanation: 2Al+3CuCl_2\rightarrow 2AlCl_3+3Cu

As can be seen from the chemical equation, 2 moles of aluminium react with 3 moles of copper chloride.

According to mole concept, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to its molar mass.

Aluminium is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and copper chloride is the excess reagent as (14-7.5)=6.5 g is left as such.

Thus 54 g of of aluminium react with 270 g of copper chloride.

1.50 g of aluminium react with=\frac{270}{54}\times 1.50=7.5 gof copper chloride.

3 moles of copper chloride gives 3 moles of copper.

7.5 g of copper chloride gives 7.5 g of copper.
