The scale used to measure the basicity of a substance is called the pH Scale. A base which when measured on a pH scale obtains a  value greater than 7 but less than or equal to 10 is weak base and from 10-14 is strong base

<h3>Meaning of Base and basicity</h3>

A base is any substance that has the ability to accept hydrogen ion in water and also netralize an acid when mixed together.

Basicity is an attribute associated with the pH scale measurement of values above 7 to 14.

Basicity increases on the scale from 7 to 14. On the pH scale 7 is neutral. So the higher we go the more basic a solution becomes until it gets to its highest point which is 14.

In conclusion, The scale used to measure the basicity of a substance is called the pH Scale. A base which when measured on a pH scale obtains a  value greater than 7 but less than or equal to 10 is weak base and from 10-14 is strong base

Calculate the pH of a solution that contains 2.7 M HF and 2.7 M HOC6H5. Also, calculate the concentration of OC6H5- in this solu
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\mathbf{1.36; 3.6 \times 10^{\mathbf{-9}}}\textbf{mol/L}}

Explanation:

The HF is about five million times as strong as phenol, so it will be by far the major contributor of hydronium ions. We can ignore the contribution from the phenol.

1 .Calculate the hydronium ion concentration

We can use an ICE table to organize the calculations.

                    HF + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + F⁻

I/mol·L⁻¹:       2.7                   0       0

C/mol·L⁻¹:      -x                   +x      +x

E/mol·L⁻¹:   2.7 - x                 x        x

K_{\text{a}} = \dfrac{\text{[H}_{3}\text{O}^{+}] \text{F}^{-}]} {\text{[HF]}} = 7.2 \times 10^{-4}\\\\\dfrac{x^{2}}{2.7 - x} = 7.2 \times 10^{-4}\\\\\text{Check for negligibility of }x\\\\\dfrac{2.7}{7.2 \times 10^{-4}} = 4000 > 400\\\\\therefore x \ll 2.7\\\dfrac{x^{2}}{2.7} = 7.2 \times 10^{-4}\\\\x^{2} = 2.7 \times 7.2 \times 10^{-4} = 1.94 \times 10^{-3}\\x = 0.0441\\\text{[H$_{3}$O$^{+}$]}= \text{x mol$\cdot$L$^{-1}$} = \text{0.0441 mol$\cdot$L$^{-1}$}

2. Calculate the pH

\text{pH} = -\log{\rm[H_{3}O^{+}]} = -\log{0.0441} = \large \boxed{\mathbf{1.36}}

3. Calculate [C₆H₅O⁻]

C₆H₅OH + H₂O ⇌ C₆H₅O⁻ + H₃O⁺

     2.7                         x        0.0441

K_{\text{a}} = \dfrac{0.0441x} {2.7} = 1.6 \times 10^{-10}\\\\0.0441x = 1.6 \times 10^{-10}\\x = \dfrac{1.6 \times 10^{-10}}{0.0441} = \mathbf{3.6 \times 10^{\mathbf{-9}}}\textbf{ mol/L}\\\text{The concentration of phenoxide ion is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{3.6 \times 10^{\mathbf{-9}}}\textbf{ mol/L}}$}

4. "Metals are conductor of electricity"prove​
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Hey mate.......

Explanation:

This is ur answer......

<em>Metals are an excellent conductor of electricity and heat because the atoms in the metals form a matrix through which outer electrons can move freely. Instead of orbiting their respective atoms, they form a sea of electrons that surround the positive nuclei of the interacting metal ions.</em>

Hope it helps!

A 0.1326 g sample of magnesium was burned in an oxygen bomb calorimeter. the total heat capacity of the calorimeter plus water w
Sladkaya [172]

Answer: Th enthalpy of combustion for the given reaction is 594.244 kJ/mol

Explanation: Enthalpy of combustion is defined as the decomposition of a substance in the presence of oxygen gas.

W are given a chemical reaction:

Mg(s)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow MgO(s)

c=5760J/^oC

\Delta T=0.570^oC

To calculate the enthalpy change, we use the formula:

\Delta H=c\Delta T\\\\\Delta H=5760J/^oC\times 0.570^oC=3283.2J

This is the amount of energy released when 0.1326 grams of sample was burned.

So, energy released when 1 gram of sample was burned is = \frac{3283.2J}{0.1326g}=24760.181J/g

Energy 1 mole of magnesium is being combusted, so to calculate the energy released when 1 mole of magnesium ( that is 24 g/mol of magnesium) is being combusted will be:

\Delta H=24760.181J/g\times 24g/mol\\\\\Delta H=594244.3J/mol\\\\\Delta H=594.244kJ/mol

A reaction between ammonia gas and chlorine gas produces
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

32.25

Explanation:

8NH3 + 3Cl2 → 6NH4Cl + N2

NH3 = 17 g/mol

number of moles = 1

NH4Cl= 43 g/mol

number of moles = 3/4

mass= 43 × ¾ ≈ 32.25 g
