The presence of hydrogen and hydroxyl ions determines the acidic and basic nature of a solution.

<h3>What determine acidic and basic nature of a solution?</h3>

The use of the pH scale is one way of determining the acidic and basic nature of solution. If the pH of a solution is less than 7, it is considered as acidic and if the pH is 7, the solution is neutral.

While if the pH is greater than 7,the solution is basic so we can conclude that the presence of hydrogen and hydroxyl ions determines the acidic and basic nature of a solution.

A sample of 4.0 L of nitrogen, at 1.2 atmospheres, is transferred to a 12 L container.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The pressure will be 0.4 atm.

Explanation:

The gas laws are a set of chemical and physical laws that allow determining the behavior of gases in a closed system. The parameters evaluated in these laws are pressure, volume, temperature and moles.

As the volume increases, the gas particles (atoms or molecules) take longer to reach the walls of the container and therefore collide with them less times per unit of time. This means that the pressure will be lower because it represents the frequency of collisions of the gas against the walls. In this way pressure and volume are related, determining Boyle's law which says:

"The volume occupied by a certain gaseous mass at constant temperature is inversely proportional to pressure"

Boyle's law is expressed mathematically as:

P*V= k

If you initially have the gas at a volume V1 and press P1, when the conditions change to a volume V2 and pressure P2, the following is satisfied:

P1*V1= P2*V2

In this case:

  • P1= 1.2 atm
  • V1= 4 L
  • P2= ?
  • V2= 12 L

Replacing:

1.2 atm* 4 L= P2* 12 L

Solving:

P2=\frac{1.2 atm*4 L}{12 L}

P2= 0.4 atm

<u><em>The pressure will be 0.4 atm.</em></u>

Magnesium hydroxide, the active ingredient in milk of magnesia, neutralizes stomach acid, primarily hcl, according to the reacti
Tema [17]
For every 1 molecule of Magnesium hydroxide or Mg(OH)2 there will be 2 molecules of HCl neutralized.
If molar mass of magnesium hydroxide is 58.3197g/mol, the amount of mol in 5.50 g magnesium hydroxide should be: 5.50g/ (<span>58.3197g/mol)= 0.0943mol.
Then, the amount of HCl molecule neutralized would be: 2* </span>0.0943mol= 0.18861 mol

If molar mass of HCl is 36.46094 g/mol, the mass of the molecule would be: 0.18861 mol* 36.46094g/mol = 6.88grams

Consider the reversible reaction.
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Option D is correct.

The concentrations of both PCl₅ and PCl₃ are changing at equilibrium

Explanation:

Chemical equilibrium during a reversible chemical reaction, is characterised by an equal rate of forward reaction and backward reaction. It is better described as dynamic equilibrium.

This is because, the concentration of the elements and compounds involved in the reversible chemical reaction at equilibrium changes, but the rate of change of the reactants is always equal to the rate of change of products.

Hence, the concentration of reactants and products, such as PCl₅ and PCl₃ are allowed to change at equilibrium, but alas, the rate of forward reaction must always match the rate of backward reaction for the process to remain in a state of Chemical equilibrium.

Hope this Helps!!!
