The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :
This is the chemical formula for carvone (the chemical that gives spearmint its flavor) : An organic chemist has determined by measurements that there are 27.3 moles of carbon in a sample of carvone. How many moles of oxygen are in the sample
Answer: 2.73 moles of oxygen are there in the sample.
Explanation:
The chemical formula of carvone is .
This means:
When 10 moles of carbon are there in carvone , 1 mole of oxygen is there in carvone
Thus for 27.3 moles of carbon in carvone , mole of oxygen is there in carvone.
Thus 2.73 moles of oxygen are there in the sample.
Answer:
When we look at an arbitrary point in the sky, away from the sun, we see only the light that was redirected by the atmosphere into our line of sight. Because that occurs much more often for blue light than for red, the sky appears blue. Violet light is actually scattered even a bit more strongly than blue.
Explanation:
Answer :
(1) pH = 1.27
(2) pH = 13.35
(3) The given solution is not a buffer.
Explanation :
<u>(1) 53.1 mM HCl</u>
Concentration of HCl =
As HCl is a strong acid. So, it dissociates completely to give hydrogen ion and chloride ion.
So, Concentration of hydrogen ion=
pH : It is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.
<u>(2) 0.223 M KOH</u>
Concentration of KOH = 0.223 M
As KOH is a strong base. So, it dissociates completely to give hydroxide ion and potassium ion.
So, Concentration of hydroxide ion= 0.223 M
Now we have to calculate the pOH.
Now we have to calculate the pH.
<u>(3) 53.1 mM HCl + 0.223 M KOH</u>
Buffer : It is defined as a solution that maintain the pH of the solution by adding the small amount of acid or a base.
It is not a buffer because HCl is a strong acid and KOH is a strong base. Both dissociates completely.
As we know that the pH of strong acid and strong base solution is always 7.
So, the given solution is not a buffer.
