Explanation / Answer

1)

A) false , NaOH is not an acid , its a base

B) false

c)

we know that

pH = -log [H+]

so

-log [H+] = 4

[H+] = 10-4

in second case

[H+] = 10-6

so

True

D) False

E) True , it forms sulphuric acid

F) False , nitrogen and oxygen


G) True

H) True

I) False , it remains the same

J) False , it depends also on the temperature

2)

we know that

concentration = moles / volume (L)

so

A) [H+] = 2 x 10-5 / 2

[H+] = 1 x 10-5 M

B)

now

pH = -log [H+]

pH = -log 1 x 10-5

pH = 5

C)

now

[H+] [OH-] = 10-14

10-5 x [OH-] = 10-14

[OH-] = 10-9

D)

pOH = 14 - pH

pOH = 14 - 5

pOH = 9

E)

[H+] = 2 x 10-5 / 20

[H+] = 1 x 10-6

pH = -log 1 x 10-6

pH = 6


3)   Because it takes more energy to initiate and contain a fusion reaction, than the energy it produces

4) PV = nRT

P x 0.855 = ( 12.5 / 71) x 0.0821 x 298

P = 5

so

the pressure is 5 atm

5)

moles = mass / molar mass

so

moles of KCl03 = 105 / 122.55

moles of KCl03 = 0.857

from the reaction

moles of 02 = 1.5 x moles of KCl03

moles of 02 = 0.857 x 1.5

moles of O2 = 1.2857

now

PV = nRT

0.950 x V = 1.2857 x 0.0821 x 298

V = 33.11

so

the volume is 33.11 L

6)


A)

when alpha particle is emitted

mass number decreases by 4

and

atomic number decreases by 2

so

new atomic number = 84 -2 = 82

new mass number = 212 -4 = 208

B)

when beta particle is emitted

mass number decreases by 0

and

atomic number increases by 1

so

new atomic number = 48 + 1 = 49

new mass number = 113 - 0 = 113


7) it decreases

8) ln C = ln Co - ( 0.693 x t / t1/2 )

ln 12.5 = ln 100 - ( 0.693 x t / 14.3 )

t = 42.91

so

the time taken is 42.91 days

9)

conc = 8 x 10-6 moles / L

1 mole water = 18 x 1000 mg

= 8 x 10-6 x 18 x 1000 mg / L

= 0.144 mg / L

1 mg / L = ppm


conc = 0.144 ppm

it is more than the legal limit

so

not suitable for drinking


10)

moles = conc x volume (L)

moles = 0.255 x 2

moles = 0.51

mass = moles x molar mass

mass = 0.51 x 40

mass = 20.4

so

20.4 grams of NaoH
