Answer:

12.1; acidic

Explanation:

I'm assuming the hydrogen concentration is H+.

So, first we must find pH.

pH = -log[H+]

I simply just plugged in the concentration.

I get 1.9 as the pH. This means that the substance is very acidic since it has a low pH.

Now to find poH.

poH + pH = 14

I simply plugged in once again!

I get 12.1 as the poH. This also determines that the substance is very acidic since it has a high poH.

If 34.5 g of Copper reacts with 70.2 g of silver nitrate, according to the following

Vlada [557]

Answer:

44,55 can be produced.

Explanation:

First, we balanced the equation

1Cu + 2AgNO3 → 1Cu(NO3)2 + Ag

Then, we find the moles of each reagent

$mol Cu = \frac{34,5g}{63,55\frac{g}{mol} } = 0,543 mol\\$

$mol AgNO3 = \frac{70,2g}{169,87\frac{g}{mol} } = 0,413 mol\\$

Now, we find the limiting reagent from the quantities of product that can be formed from each reagent

$mol AgNO3= 0,543mol Cu . \frac{2 mol AgNo3}{1 mol Cu} = 1,086 mol$

$mol Cu= 0,413 mol AgNO3 . \frac{1 mol Cu}{2 mol AgNO3} = 0,206 mol$

1,086 moles of AgNO3 is necessary for each mole of Cu since we have 0.413 moles of Ag(NO3), the nitrate is the limiting reagent

the value of the limiting reagent determines the amount of product that is generated

∴ 0,413 mol of Ag can be produced

Ag = $0,413 mol . 107,87\frac{g}{mol}$ = 44,55g

Ag≈ 44,6g
