The ph of a saturated solution of Ca(OH)2 is 12.35

CALCULATION:
For the reaction 
     Ca(OH)2 → Ca2+ + 2OH- 
we will use the Ksp expression to solve for the concentration [OH-] and then use the acid base concepts to get the pH:
     Ksp = [Ca2+][OH-]^2

The listed Ksp value is 5.5 x 10^-6. Substituting this to the Ksp expression, we have
     Ksp = 5.5 x 10^-6 = (s) (2s)^2 = 4s^3
     s3 = 5.5x10^-6 / 4

Taking the cube root, we now have
     s = cube root of (5.5x10^-6 / 4)s
        = 0.01112

We know that the value of [OH-] is actually equal to 2s:
     [OH-] = 2s = 2 * 0.01112 = 0.02224 M

We can now calculate for pOH:          
     pOH = - log [OH-]
              = -log(0.02224)
              = 1.65

Therefore, the pH is
     pH = 14 - pOH
           = 14 - 1.65
           = 12.35

The specific rotation of (R) carvone is (+) 61°. The optical rotation of a sample of a mixture of R &amp;S carvone is measured a
shusha [124]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

% optical purity = specific rotation of mixture/specific rotation of pure enantiomer  * 100/1

specific rotation of mixture = 23°

specific rotation of pure enantiomer = 61°

Hence;

% optical purity = 23/61 * 100 = 38 %

More abundant enantiomer = 100% - 38 % = 62%

Hence the pure  (S) carvone is (-) 62° is the more abundant enantiomer.

Enantiomeric excess = 62 - 50/50 * 100 = 24%

Hence

(R) - carvone  =  38 %

(S) - carvone = 62%

Describe how to use Le Chatelier’s principle to predict the possible ways a chemical system can respond to changes.
Andre45 [30]
Le Chatelier's principle simply explains how equilibria change as you change the conditions of a reaction. If you have a reaction that is at equilibrium lets say (A + 2B <--> C + D) by removing C or D we can drive the reaction forward and products more products. I can provide a more in-depth description if needed.

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

b . Irradiated food is shown to not be radioactive.

Explanation:

If it can be proven that irradiated food is not radioactive, then it will effective dispute the idea that irradiated food are less safe to eat.

  • An irradiated food is one in which ionizing radiations have been employed to improve food quality.
  • Thus, bacteria and other food spoilers can be exterminated from the food.
  • Most irradiated food do not contain radiation and are fit for consumption.

If it can be proven, that this is true, then it will challenge the idea that irradiated foods are not safe.
