The term pH has to do with the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution.

The term pH has to do with the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution. Let us now proceed the pH of the solutions;

a) pH of HCl = -log(0.25) = 0.62

b) pH of H2SO4 = -log(0.15) = 0.82

c) We have to set up an ICE table here;

C6H5COOH + H2O ⇄ C6H5COO- + H^+

I 0.15 0 0

C -x +x +x

E 0.15 -x x x

Ka = [C6H5COO-] [ H^+]/[C6H5COOH]

6.4 x 10^-5 = x^2/0.15 - x

6.4 x 10^-5(0.15 - x) = x^2

9.6 * 10^-6 - 6.4 x 10^-5x = x^2

x^2 + 6.4 x 10^-5x - 9.6 * 10^-6 = 0

x=0.003 M

Hence;

[C6H5COO-] = [ H^+] = x = 0.003 M

pH = - log[0.003 M] = 2.5

d) [OH-] [H^+] = 1.0 x 10-14 mol2 dm-6

[H^+] = 1.0 x 10-14 mol2 dm-6/ 0.10 mol dm-3

[H^+] = 1 * 10^-13 M

pH= - log[1 * 10^-13 M] = 13

suppose a student poured equal volumes of water and naoh in two different flasks. he forgets to label his flasks and is confused

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

The one with higher temperature is the one with NaOH as heatis given off during the neutralization reaction that occurs.

<h3>What is volume?</h3>

Volume can be defined as the amount of space a substance or an objects occupies usually in a closed container.

Volume is measures in litres.

When water is added to dilute acid like HCl, they become more dilute.

When NaOH is added to HCl, a neutralization reaction occurs.

The student will determine the contents of the flasks by adding 10 ml of hcl to each flask. If the NaOH reacts with the Hcl, there will be an increase in temperature.

The increase in temperature is due to the heat of neutralization of the reaction between NaOH and HCl.

Consider the energy diagram below. xn. mc012-1.jpg Which line indicates a higher reaction rate? A because it has a lower activat

34kurt

Answer is: B because it has a lower activation energy.

For all chemical reaction some energy is required and that energy is called activation energy (energy that needs to be absorbed for a chemical reaction to start), activation energy for reaction B is lower that for reaction A.

Catalysis is the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction due to the participation of an additional substance called a catalyst.

Chemical reactions occur faster with a catalyst because they require less activation energy.

What is measured by the reaction rate? the probability that a reaction will occur the speed at which products form the time requ

Cloud [144]

Answer: the speed at which products form

Explanation:

Rate of a reaction is defined as the speed at which a chemical reaction proceeds. It is often expressed in terms of the concentration of a reactant that is consumed in a unit time or the concentration of a product that is formed in a unit of time.

For a general reaction : $A\rightarrow B$

$Rate=-\frac{d[A]}{dt}$

or $Rate=+\frac{d[B]}{dt}$

where d[A] = change in concentration of reactant A

d[B] = change in concentration of product B

dt = time interval

Which electromagnetic radiation on the electromagnetic spectrum can be detected by the human eye?

qaws [65]

Answer:

D. Visible Light

Explanation:

D is the right answer because visible light is perceived by humans as color and the rest aren't visible at all. For example, if you broke a bone and have to have an X-ray done, you can't see the x-rays. When you are heating something in the microwave, you can't see the waves. And when you are listening to the radio in the car, you also can't see the waves.
