Response:
1.98 M
Clarification:
Provided data
- Starting volume (V₁): 93.2 mL
- Starting concentration (C₁): 2.03 M
- Water volume added: 3.92 L
Step 1: Convert V₁ to liters
Using the relationship 1 L = 1000 mL.
Step 2: Calculate the final volume (V₂)
The final volume is the total of the initial volume and the added water volume.
Step 3: Calculate the final concentration (C₂)
Utilizing the dilution rule.
The neutralization reaction that occurs between potassium hydroxide and sulfuric acid can be represented as follows
2KOH + H2SO4 ---> K2SO4 + 2H2O
The quantity of moles of KOH is calculated using (43.74 x 0.500)/ 1000 = 0.02187 moles
Given that the stoichiometric ratio of KOH to H2SO4 is 2:1, the moles of H2SO4 can be determined as 0.02187/2 = 0.01094 moles
To find the concentration (molarity), use the formula (0.01094/50) x 1000 = 0.2188M
<span>The question asks, 'which statement most accurately describes the formation of an ionic bond. The correct selection is A. Ionic bonds are established through the total transfer of electrovalent electrons from one atom to another. The atom that gives up the electron becomes a positively charged ion, whereas the atom that acquires the electron becomes a negatively charged ion.</span>
