How much 1.5 m sodium hydroxide is necessary to exactly neutralize 20.0 ml of 2.5 m phosphoric acid?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer is: 100 mL of sodium hydroxide.
Chemical reaction: 3NaOH + H₃PO₄ → Na₃PO₄ + 3H₂O.
V(H₃PO₄) = 20.0 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L = 0.02 L.
n(H₃PO₄) = V(H₃PO₄) · c(H₃PO₄).
n(H₃PO₄) = 0.02 L · 2.5 mol/L.
n(H₃PO₄) = 0.05 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(H₃PO₄) : n(NaOH) = 1 : 3.
n(NaOH) = 0.15 mol.
V(NaOH) = n(NaOH) ÷ c(NaOH).
V(NaOH) = 0.15 mol ÷ 1.5 mol/L.
V(NaOH) = 0.1 L · 1000 mL/L = 100 mL.

Select all of the correct statements pertaining to the first and second ionization energies of different elements. check all tha

sertanlavr [38]

The First Ionization energy of Nitrogen is greater (Not smaller)than that of Phosphorous. This is because going down the group (N and P are in same group) the number of shells increases, the distance of valence electrons from Nucleus increases and hence due to less interaction between nucleus and valence electrons it becomes easy to knock out the electron.

The second ionization energy of Na is larger than that of Mg because after first loss of electron Na has gained Noble Gas Configuration (Stable Configuration) and now requires greater energy to loose both second electron and Noble Gas Configuration. While Mg after second ionization attains Noble Gas Configuration hence it prices less energy.

What characterizes an Arrhenius acid

dedylja [7]

The characteristics of an Arrhenius acid was the acid donates H+ when it is in the aqueous solution, whether the solution is acid or base. If the solution is a acid, then be H+ builds up and increase its thing. The pH level for acid solution is the scale from 1-6. Even though the ph scale is lower than the base, the color also varies. It also applies to the base, too.

How did knowing the number of valence electrons in one of the alien elements help to identify it? Explain how the table was used

lawyer [7]

Knowing the number of valence electrons in one of the alien elements helps in identifying it because the number of valence electrons can help categorize the alien element. Similar elements have the same valence electrons and knowing the category of the element can help further analyze the element.

Analysis of the water content of a lake found in the desert showed that it contained 16.6 percent chloride ion, and had a densit

IRISSAK [1]

Answer : The molarity of the chloride ion in the water is, 5.75 M

Explanation :

As we are given that 16.6 % chloride ion that means 16.6 grams of chloride ion present 100 grams of solution.

First we have to calculate the volume of solution.

$\text{Volume of solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solution}}{\text{Density of solution}}$

$\text{Volume of solution}=\frac{100g}{1.23g/mL}=81.3mL$

Now we have to calculate the molarity of chloride ion.

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of volume of solution.

Formula used :

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Mass of chloride ion}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of chloride ion}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{16.6g\times 1000}{35.5g/mole\times 81.3mL}=5.75mole/L=5.75M$

Thus, the molarity of the chloride ion in the water is, 5.75 M

IF you’ve eaten 45% of a box of chocolate cereal that has 13oz when you buy it how many oz of the cereal have you eaten

weqwewe [10]

To determine the number of ounces of the chocolate cereal that you have eaten, the operation that needs to be performed is simply the multiplication of the initial number of ounce in the box of cereal and the decimal equivalent of the given percentage. If we let n be the answer,

n = (13 oz)(0.45)

Simplifying, this will give us the answer which is equal to 5.85 oz.

Answer: 5.85 oz.
