also, guys, don't know why my computer's decided to be all retarded today, but i'm not able to download the "questions paper 1 from 1994-2004" on this link: http://freeexampapers.com/Dndex.php?d=SUdDU0UvQmlvbG9neS9DSUUvMTk5MyAtIDIwMDM=
or the answers to it (first file)
it's for biology, and my computer keeps saying that it's a reported malicious site or something.
please help?????!!!!!

OK, see if you can download them by clicking on these links.  If not, let me know.

and please if somebody can do this... ???

OK, hopefully this clears your doubt.

This time, you'll need to also apply this formula:
                                                                      
Concentration (mol/dm3) = Moles / Volume (dm3)

So:

i) Number of moles of NaOH used = 2.24*0.025 = 0.056 mols

ii) Maximum number of moles of Na2SO4.10H2O that could be formed = From the equation given, you can see 2 moles of NaOH gives 1 mole of Na2SO4.10H2O.  So it is simply: 0.056/2 = 0.028 mols

iii) Mass of one mole of Na2SO4.10H2O = 322g

iv) Maximum yield of sodium sulphate-10-water = 0.028*322 = 9.02g

v) Percentage yield = (3.86/9.02)*100 = 42.8%

If you don't understand any of this, I'll be happy to explain ;)

It's hard to give a concrete explanation, but we know it's between pH and temperature.  I would go for pH as I've seen in many textbooks that the effect of pH on the activity is more of a natural parabola than for temperature.  I suppose, when increasing temperature above the optimum temperature, the activity suddenly decreases more than if pH increased, I guess.

Sorry for giving you a slightly blurred explanation, but that's the best I can do, hope that helps a little :).  Consider the effect of temperature and pH below, and make your judgement ;)  This is a very good graph as the effects of the two variables are given side by side.

anybody knows some good website/sources to learn about moles in chemistry? or just chemistry in basic? I really messed up in physics I dont want the same to happen in chemistry.. :'(. Help greatly appreciated

I've got a huuuuuuge doubt.
If Mole = Mass / RFM , and here, they're asking for the number of moles of sodium atoms reacted.
So to find the mole of 2Na .. isn't it 11.5/46 = 0.25 Mole?  :-\
And if it's only 11.5/23 , which equals to 0.5, isn't that only ONE atom of Na but we need two here so dont we multiply the answer by 2? D:
Help please..  ???
Thaaanks!

But Moles of Na exist as mono atomic .. so each mole of Na has one atom of Na not 2.. so if you say you have 1 mole of Na , its the same as 1Mole of atoms of Na..Why did you divide by 46?

Just follow the equation:
2Na            +              S -------->     Na2S
46                              32                       
11.5                            10(but excess so we wont use this)
We know that 11.5g of Na reacted .. so just use the simple formula .. mass/RFM .. 11.5/23 = 0.5moles
