Determine the pH of a 2.0 x 10-2 M Sr(OH)2 solution.

Answers

Answer 1

pH of the Sr(OH)₂ solution : 12.6

Further explanation  

pH is the degree of acidity of a solution that depends on the concentration of H⁺ ions. The greater the value the more acidic the solution and the smaller the pH.  

pH = - log [H⁺]  

Sr (OH) ₂ solution is a base with valence 2, so we determine the pOH from the OH ion concentration - which is expressed by pOH = - log [OH -]. After that we determine the pH value from the relationship:

[H⁺] [OH⁻] = Kw=10⁻¹⁴

pH + pOH = 14

Sr(OH)₂⇒Sr²⁺+2OH⁻

From equation [Sr(OH)₂] : [OH⁻]=1 : 2, so [OH⁻]=

[tex]\tt [OH^-]=2\times 2.10^{-2}=4.10^{-2}~M[/tex]

[tex]\tt pOH=-log[OH^-]\\\\pOH=-log~4.10^{-2}\\\\pOH=2-log~4\rightarrow 1.398 \\\\pH+pOH=14\\\\pH=14-1.398\\\\pH=12.6[/tex]

Answer 2

pH is the measurement of the concentration of hydrogen or hydronium ion in an aqueous solution. The pH of strontium hydroxide is 12.6.

What is pH?

The pH is the potential of hydrogen or the negative log of its concentration.

First, calculate the pOH of strontium hydroxide by:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \rm pOH &= \rm - log [OH ^{-}]\\\\&= \rm -log [4\times10^{-2}]\\\\&= 1.398\end{aligned}[/tex]

Now, calculate pH from pOH as:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\rm pH &= 14 - \rm pOH\\\\&= 14 - 1.398\\\\&= 12.6\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, 12.6 is the pH of strontium hydroxide.

For the following reaction, calculate how many moles of each product are formed when 4.05 g of water is used.

2 H2O → 2 H2 +02

Answers

Answer:

A. 0.225 mole of H₂

B. 0.113 mole of O₂.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 4.05 g of water (H₂O). This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of H₂O = 4.05 g

Molar mass of H₂O = (2×1) + 16 = 2 + 16 = 18 g/mol

Mole of H₂O =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of H₂O = 4.05 / 18

Mole of H₂O = 0.225 mole

Next, the balanced equation.

2H₂O —> 2H₂ + O₂

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of H₂O produced 2 moles of H₂ and 1 mole of O₂.

A. Determination of the number of mole hydrogen produced.

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of H₂O produced 2 moles of H₂.

Therefore, 0.225 mole of H₂O will also produce 0.225 mole of H₂.

B. Determination of the number of mole oxygen produced.

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of H₂O produced 1 mole of O₂.

Therefore, 0.225 mole of H₂O will produce = (0.225 × 1)/2 = 0.113 mole of O₂.

Thus, 0.113 mole of O₂ is produced.

A saturated hydrocarbon having molecular formula CnH2n+2 diffuses through a porous membrane twice as fast as sulphur dioxide. Calculate the volume occupied by the hydrocarbon at27°C and 2atm ?
Help me fast !​

Answers

Answer:

12.3 L

Explanation:

Now we have that the rate of diffusion of the saturated hydrocarbon is R1

Rate of diffusion of sulphur dioxide is R2

Molar mass of hydrocarbon is M1

Molar mass of sulphur dioxide is 64 gmol-1

From Graham's law;

R1/R2 = √64/M1

2/1 =√64/M1

(2/1)^2 = (√64/M1)^2

4/1 = 64/M1

4M1 =64

M1 = 16

To obtain the number of moles of the gas;

(n*12) + (2n + 2) 1 = 16

12n + 2n + 2 = 16

14n + 2 = 16

14n = 16 - 2

n = 14/14

n = 1

Hence the hydrocarbon is CH4

Volume occupied by CH4 at STP = 22.4 L

Hence;

P1 = 1 atm

T1 = 273 K

V1 = 22.4 L

T2 = 300 K

P2 = 2 atm

V2 = ?

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

P1V1T2 = P2V2T1

V2 = P1V1T2/P2T1

V2 = 1 * 22.4 * 300/2 * 273

V2 = 12.3 L

The volume occupied by the hydrocarbon at 27 °C and 2 atm is 12.31 L

Let the hydrocarbon be initially at standard temperature and pressure (STP)

Thus, we can obtain the new volume of the hydrocarbon by using the combined gas equation as illustrated below:

Initial volume (V₁) = STP = 22.4 L Initial pressure (P₁) = STP = 1 atmInitial temperature (T₁) = STP = 273 KFinal temperature (T₂) = 27 °C = 27 + 273 = 300 KFinal pressure (P₂) = 2 atmFinal volume (V₂) =?

P₁V₁ / T₁ = P₂V₂ / T₂

(1 × 22.4) / 273 = (2 × V₂) / 300

22.4 / 273 = (2 × V₂) / 300

Cross multiply

273 × 2 × V₂ = 22.4 × 300

546 × V₂ = 6720

Divide both side by 546

V₂ = 6720 / 546

V₂ = 12.31 L

Thus, the volume occupied by the hydrocarbon at 27 °C and 2 atm is 12.31 L

Answers

Answer: The distance is slightly less than 3.5 m

Explanation: assuming wall and target are the same thing, and the bullet has constant velocity, the bullet will travel 7 m in half a second, so half that distance is 3.5 m.

In reality, the bullet is decelerating (at an unknown rate) so the distance is slightly less than 3.5 m.

There is also a vertical velocity component, which means it hits the target/wall at an angle. The trajectory is such that it hits the wall above the shooter because the ricochet hits at ~the level at which it left the firearm.

If the wall was absent, the bullet would have described a parabola which brough it back to the initial level after 7m. This could be calculated, but it means that the actual distance between the shooter and the wall is slightly less than 3.5 m

In addition, the collision with the wall is not 100% elastic, so the velocity aftercthe ricochetvis further reduced.

A calculation would be complex because these confounding factors are not completely independent of each other,  but all reduce the average velocity and therefore the distance.

Therefore it is only possible to say that the distance was somewhat less than 3.5 m

2 C8H18(g) + 25 O2(g) -----> 16 CO2(g) + 18 H2O(g) ΔHrxn = -10,900 kJ

Answers

Answer:

38.3 miles

Explanation:

First, we convert 1.95 gallons to mililiters:

1.95 gallons * [tex]\frac{3.785 L}{1gallon}*\frac{1000mL}{1 L}[/tex]= 7380.75 mL

Then we calculate how many grams of octane are available for the reaction, using its density:

0.6916 g/mL * 7380.75 mL = 5104.53 g C₈H₁₈

Now we convert octane grams into octane moles, using its molar mass:

5104.53 g C₈H₁₈ ÷ 114 g/mol = 44.78 mol C₈H₁₈

Then we calculate how many kJ are produced from the combustion of  44.78 mol C₈H₁₈, if 2 moles produce 10900 kJ:

44.78 mol * 10900 kJ / 2 mol = 244032 kJ

We calculate how many seconds is the car available to keep going, if it spends 115 kJ per second:

244032 kJ * 1 s / 115 kJ = 2122.02 s

We convert seconds to hours:

2122.02 / 3600 = 0.59 hours

Finally we calculate the distance:

65 mi/hour * 0.59 hour = 38.3 mi

A certain first-row transition metal ion forms many different colored solutions. When four coordination compounds of this metal, each having the same coordination number, are dissolved in water, the colors of the solutions are red, yellow, green, and blue. Further experiments reveal that two of the complex ions are paramagnetic with four unpaired electrons and the other two are diamagnetic. What can be deduced from this information about the four coordination compounds

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

From the analysis we have in the question, we must look towards a first row transition metal ion having a d^6 configuration because it yields a paramagnetic complex having four unpaired electrons and a diamagnetic complex having no unpaired electrons.

We have two possible candidates in mind, Fe^2+ and Co^3+. However, Fe^2+  does not form as many coloured complexes as stated in the question so we have to eliminate that option.

We are now left with only Co^3+. Various ligands are going to cause these various colours of Co^3+ to appear in solution.

Hence, we can deduce from all these that the nature of ligands determines the colour of the complex . Don't forget that the colour of a complex arises from crystal field splitting.

Or should Country X share its supply by selling the resource to countries that need it? How should a fair price for the resource be determined? Who should set this price, Country Xs government or the private companies that invest in the resource?Petroleum, commonly called crude oil, is a natural resource. Like coal and natural gas, it is a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels form from the remains of organisms that lived millions of years ago. They are non-renewable, which means that Earths supply is limited.Petroleum is found in underground deposits. It is removed and processed in refineries. Many products are made from petroleum. Fuels such as jet fuel and gasoline power cars, trucks, and planes. Fuel oil is used for heating buildings and producing electricity. Roads are paved with asphalt, a petroleum product. Plastics and chemicals made from petroleum are used in everyday life.Much of the worlds petroleum comes from the Middle East. Other large producers are Venezuela, Canada, Russia, and the United States. In 1960, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela got together to discuss the role of petroleum production in a global marketplace. They founded a group to coordinate and combine petroleum policies.The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)The group that these five countries started is called the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Since 1960, OPEC has played a role in controlling the global market for oil. As oil has become more important in world trade, OPECs role has become even more important. Today, the group has grown to 14 member countries. Each member has an equal vote in making decisions. Because Saudi Arabia exports more oil than any other member country, it serves as the informal group leader.OPEC has three main goals, although it has not been effective in achieving them. It wants to regulate an efficient and stable worldwide supply of petroleum. It wants to set prices that will provide a steady income for petroleum producers. And it wants to set fair profits for companies that invest money in the petroleum industry.Regulating the Supply of Petroleum The global oil market has been affected by political events in many parts of the world. Uprisings and wars have disrupted the supply of oil. When supply is disrupted, prices rise. The economies of oil-producing countries soar. OPEC has stabilized the price of crude oil by regulating how much oil each country can produce. When production decreases, prices rise. When production increases, prices decrease.Setting Fair Prices Demand, supply, and price are interconnected. If the global demand for oil is stable, OPEC regulates oil prices by controlling the supply. It assigns a quota to each member country. Each country is not allowed to produce more or less oil than its quota. Countries that are not OPEC members can produce and export as much or as little oil as they want. They can set their own prices according to demand. However, these non-member countries must compete with OPEC members if they want to export their oil.Setting Profits for Investing Companies Each member country in OPEC needs a certain oil price in order to balance its budget. Thinking that the price of oil would remain high, many oil companies began huge oil projects in the early twenty-first century. They invested fortunes in developing new oil fields. But oil prices have not stayed high. Low prices have caused oil companies to delay or give up these projects. OPEC has tried to stabilize oil prices so that oil producers will invest in future production.The Future of OilIn the past few years, there has been a movement to decrease humans reliance on oil. Some people fear that the worlds supply of crude oil is running low. Scientists are worried that burning oil pollutes the atmosphere and causes climate change. Alternative energy sources such as nuclear, solar, and wind power are being developed. Will the demand for oil decrease? Will decreasing demand cause the price of oil to drop? Or will OPEC countries decrease production to match demand, causing oil prices to rise? If demand for oil falls, can OPEC continue to exist? No one knows for sure the answers to these questions. We will have to wait to see what the future reveals. similarities between renal atery and renal vein How do the high middle ages medieval cities compare with cities of today?
