Hello!

The statement that a solution of sodium acetate (CH₃COONa) is weakly basic is true:

Sodium acetate is the conjugate base of Acetic Acid. When sodium acetate is dissolved in water, it follows the equation that is shown below:

CH₃COONa(s) → CH₃COO⁻(aq) + Na⁺(aq)

Now the Acetate (CH₃COO⁻) ion, has an equilibrium in water to produce hydroxyl (OH⁻) ions and (Acetic Acid CH₃COOH)

CH₃COO⁻ + H₂O ⇄ CH₃COOH + OH⁻

This is a weak equilibrium, and the hydroxyl ions cause the solution to be weakly basic.

Have a nice day!

Vilka [71]

Answer:

Explanation:

CH₃COOH + NaOH = CH₃COONa + H₂O .

42.5 mL of .115 M of NaOH will contain .0425 x .115 moles of NaOH

= 48.875 x 10⁻⁴ moles NaOH

It will react with same number of moles of acetic acid

So number of moles of acetic acid in 3.45 mL = 48.875 x 10⁻⁴

number of moles of acetic acid in 1000 mL = 48.875 x 10⁻⁴ x 10³ / 3.45 moles

= 1.4167 moles

= 1.4167 x 60 gram

= 85 grams .

So 85 grams of acetic acid will be contained in one litre of acetic acid.

Why does graphite and diamond sublime?
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The intermolecular bonding in the solid is van der Waals dispersion forces. That means that it will have a lower melting point than diamond or graphite where you have giant covalent bonding. In fact C60 sublimes at 800 K (527°C). Diamond and graphite sublime at around 4000 K.

What volume, in ml, of a 0.2089 m ki solution contains enough ki to react exactly with the cu(no3)2 in 43.88 ml of a 0.3842 m so
Triss [41]

The reaction is given as: 2Cu(NO_{3})_{2}+4KI\rightarrow 2CuI+I_{2}+4KNO_{3} Here, two moles of copper nitrate reacts with four moles of potassium iodide to give two moles of copper iodide, one mole of iodine and four moles of potassium nitrate. First, calculate the number of moles of copper nitrate. Number of moles is equal to the product of molarity and volume of solution in litre. Number of moles = 0.3842 M\times 0.04388 L    (1 L =1000 mL)

= 0.016858696 mole

Copper nitrate requires = 0.016858696 \times \frac{4}{2} mole of potassium iodide

= 0.033717392 mole of potassium iodide

Volume of solution in litre = \frac{number of moles}{Molarity}

Thus, volume of potassium iodide is  =\frac{0.033717392}{0.2089}

= 0.1614 L

1 L =1000 mL

Volume of potassium iodide in mL =161.4 mL

Hence, 161.4 mL 0.2089 M potassium iodide consist of sufficient potassium iodide to react with copper nitrate in 3.88 mL of a 0.3842 M solution of copper nitrate .

An ice cube is dropped into a glass of milk at 20°C. Which statement explains the transfer of kinetic energy (KE)?
hoa [83]

Answer:

Because milk has higher KE than ice, KE is transferred from the milk to the molecules of ice.

Explanation:

The best statement that expresses the transfer of kinetic energy(K.E) is that kinetic energy is transferred from the milk to the ice.

Kinetic energy is form of energy due to motion of the particles of a medium. In this regard, we are dealing with heat energy.

  • Heat energy is dissipated from a body at higher temperature to one at a lower temperature.
  • Ice is at a lower temperature which is 0°C
  • Heat will be transferred in form of thermal energy from the body at higher temperature to one with a lower temperature.
  • This is from the milk to the molecules of ice.
