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

Co(g) effuses at a rate that is ______ times that of cl2(g) under the same conditions.
il63 [147K]

Answer is: the ratio of the effusion rate is 1.59 : 1.

1) rate of effusion of carbon monoxide gas = 1/√M(CO).  

rate of effusion of carbon monoxide gas = 1/√28.

rate of effusion of carbon monoxide gas = 0.189.  

2) rate of effusion of chlorine = 1/√M(Cl₂).  

rate of effusion of chlorine = 1/√70.9.  

rate of effusion of chlorine = 0.119.  

rate of effusion of carbon monoxide : rate of effusion of chlorine =

= 0.189 : 0.119 / ÷0.119.

rate of effusion of carbon monoxide : rate of effusion of chlorine = 1.59 : 1.

When 16.9 g KOH is dissolved in 90.8 g of water in a coffee-cup calorimeter, the temperature rises from 18.5 °C to 34.27 °C. Wha
juin [17]

Answer:

-431.5 J/g

Explanation:

Mass of solution = Mass of solute + mass of solvent

Solute is KOH while solvent is water.

Mass of KOH = 16.9 g

Mass of water = 90.8 g

Mass of solution = 16.9 + 90.8

                          = 107.7 g

Change in temperature (Δt) = 34.27 - 18.5

                                           = 16.2 °C

Heat required to raise the temperature of water is released by dissolving KOH.

Therefore,

Heat released by KOH = m × s× Δt

                                    = 107.7 × 4.18 × 16.2

                                    = 7293 J

Heat released by per g KOH = 7293 J/16.9 g

                                             = 431.5 J/g

As heat is released therefore, enthalpy change would be negative.

Enthalpy change of KOH = -431.5 J/g

Which of the following combinations of coefficients correctly balances this chemical equation: 2H2S (g) + __O2 (g) __CO2 (g) + 2
frez [133]
In chemistry for an chemical equation to be complete it has to be balanced using appropriate coefficients and state symbols such similar atoms are equal in both sides of the equation. The reaction between hydrogen sulphide and oxygen gas yields sulphur iv oxide and water as indicated by equation.
 2H2S (g) + 3O2 (g) = 2SO2(g)+ 2H2O(l).
therefore the correct answer is 2,3,2,2
