When a 17.7 mL sample of a 0.368 M aqueous hypochlorous acid solution is titrated with a 0.301 M aqueous barium hydroxide solution, what is the pH after 16.2 mL of barium hydroxide have been added

pH = 12.98

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of aqueous hypochlorous acid solution = 17.7 mL = 0.0177 L

Molarity of aqueous hypochlorous acid solution = 0.368 M

Molarity of aqueous barium hydroxide solution = 0.301 M

Volume of aqueous barium hydroxide solution = 16.2 mL = 0.0162 L

Step 2: The balanced equation

2HCl + Ba(OH)2 → BaCl2 + 2H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles = molarity * volume

Moles HCl = 0368 M * 0.0177 L

Moles HCl = 0.0065136 moles

Moles Ba(OH)2 = 0.301 M * 0.0162 L

Moles Ba(OH)2 = 0.0048762 moles

Step 4: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 2 moles HCl we need 1 mol Ba(OH)2 to produce 1 mol BaCl2 and 2 moles H2O

HCl is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed 0.0065136 moles. Ba(OH)2 is in excess. There will react 0.0065136/2 = 0.0032568‬ moles. There will remain 0.0048762 moles - 0.0032568‬  = 0.0016194 moles

Step 5: Calculate molarity Ba(OH)2

Molarity Ba(OH)2 = moles / volume

Molarity Ba(OH)2 = 0.0016194 moles / 0.0339 L

Molarity Ba(OH)2 = 0.04777 M

Step 6: Calculate [OH-]

Ba(OH)2 → Ba^2+ + 2OH-

For Ba(OH)2 we have 2* [OH-]

[OH-] = 2*0.04777 = 0.09554 M

Step 7: Calculate pOH

pOH = -log[OH-]

pOH = -log(0.09554)

pOH = 1.02

Step 8: Calculate pH

pH = 14 - 1.02

pH = 12.98

the child will have heterozygous dominant chromosomes as characters of his father are dominant over the characters of his mother.

the child is heterozygous

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.
