What mass of NaOH would need to be dissolved in 500.0 mL of water to produce a solution with a pH of 12.40

0.5024 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the concentration of H⁺

We will use the definition of pH.

pH = -log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -12.40 = 3.981 × 10⁻¹³ M

Step 2: Calculate the concentration of OH⁻

We will use the ionic product of water expression.

[H⁺] [OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴

[OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴/[H⁺] = 10⁻¹⁴/3.981 × 10⁻¹³ = 0.02512 M

Step 3: Calculate the initial concentration of NaOH

NaOH is a strong base and the molar ratio of NaOH to OH⁻is 1:1. Thus, the initial concentration of NaOH is 1/1 × 0.02512 M = 0.02512 M.

Step 4: Calculate the moles of NaOH

We will use the definition of molarity.

M = moles of NaOH/liters of solution

moles of NaOH = M × liters of solution

moles of NaOH = 0.02512 mol/L × 0.5000 L = 0.01256 mol

Step 5: Calculate the mass of 0.01256 moles of NaOH

The molar mass of NaOH is 40.00 g/mol.

0.01256 mol × 40.00 g/mol = 0.5024 g

because u need two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei to form isotopes.

so since they all have the same shape? i mean maybe because m& m and reeses are both chocolates
