2NaOH + H₂SO₄ = Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

v(H₂SO₄)=0.25 L
c(H₂SO₄)=2.00 mol/L
v(NaOH)=2.00 L

n(H₂SO₄)=c(H₂SO₄)v(H₂SO₄)
n(NaOH)=2n(H₂SO₄)=2c(H₂SO₄)v(H₂SO₄)

c(NaOH)=n(NaOH)/v(NaOH)=2c(H₂SO₄)v(H₂SO₄)/v(NaOH)

c(NaOH)=2*2.00*0.25/2.00=0.5 mol/L

the concentration of the NaOH solution is 0.5 mol/L

Response: The NaOH solution has a molarity of 0.5 M.

Explanation:

Calculating moles of $H_2SO_4$ in 0.25 L of 2.00 M solution:

$Molarity=\frac{\text{Moles of }H_2SO_4}{\text{Volume in Liters of}H_2SO_4}$

$2.00 M=\frac{\text{Moles of }H_2SO_4}{0.25 L}$

Moles of $H_2SO_4$ = 2.00 mol/L × 0.25 L = 0.5 moles

Calculating moles of $NaOH$ in 2.00 L of an unknown molarity:

$H_2SO_4+2NaOH\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+2H_2O$

1 mole $H_2SO_4$ yields 2 moles of $H^+$ ions.

Therefore, 0.5 mole $H_2SO_4$ will yield: 0.5 mol × 2 = 1.0 mol

1.0 mol of $H^+$ will neutralize the 1.0 mol of $OH^-$ ions.

Moles of $H^+$ = Moles of $OH^-$ = 1.0 moles

1 mol of $OH^-$ are generated from 1 mol of NaOH

The 1 mole of $OH^-$ is produced from = 1 mol of NaOH

$Molarity=\frac{\text{Moles of }NaOH}{\text{Volume in Liters of NaOH}}$

$M=\frac{1 mol}{2.00L}=0.5 mol/L=0.5M$

The NaOH solution has a molarity of 0.5 M.

Hitesh wants to learn swimming. He brought swimming costumes and a cap. What kind of material should these be made of and why?

alisha [2963]

Answer:

Nylon and Spandex (Lycra).

Explanation:

These materials are designed to fit the body, with nylon drying more quickly than other types of fabrics, and Spandex being commonly found in swimming and sports apparel due to its elastic qualities. Both fabrics also wick moisture away and dry rapidly.

With high capacity and enhanced flexibility, nylon and Spandex provide a snug fit to the body and can retain their shape during various activities, making them ideal for swimming.

This explains why these materials are suitable based on the situation given.

Find the age ttt of a sample, if the total mass of carbon in the sample is mcmcm_c, the activity of the sample is AAA, the curre

castortr0y [3046]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a desert cave, an artifact has been discovered. The anthropologists investigating this artifact want to determine its age. They note that the current activity level of the artifact is 9.25 decays/s, and the carbon mass present is 0.100 kg. To ascertain the artifact's age, they will employ specific constants:

r=1.2

The formula for carbon 14 activity is

$A=A_0e^{\lambda t}$

where,

$A_0$ is the initial activity of the substance

Now, solve for t

$-\lambda t=In\frac{A}{A_0}$

$t=-\frac{1}{\lambda} In(\frac{A}{A_0} )$

$=-\frac{1}{\lambda} In(\frac{A}{\lambda r(\frac{m_c}{m_a} )} )$

since,

$A_0=\lambda r(\frac{m_c}{m_a} )$

$=-\frac{1}{\lambda} In(\frac{A\ m_a}{\lambda r m_c} )$

Thus, the age of the artifact is

$=-\frac{1}{\lambda} In(\frac{A\ m_a}{\lambda r m_c} )$

$=-\frac{1}{1.21\times 10^{-4}} In(\frac{(9.25)(2.32\times 10^{-26}}{1.21\times 10^{-4}(\frac{1}{3.15569\times10^7} )(1.2\times 10^{-12})(0.100)}} )\\\\=6303.4 \ years$

to two significant figures = 6300 years
