Answer: increases
Explanation:
Matter exists in three different states, they are solids, liquids and gases. And each of them contains molecules with a certain amount of kinetic energy.
Hence, the addition of heat changes a substance from a liquid to a gas through a process called vaporization, whereby liquid molecules on changing to gases acquire a higher kinetic energy, and move more freely within the containing vessel.
Thus, the higher kinetic energy explains the increase in the average distance between molecules.
The substances present before the reaction are the reactants. (As the reaction goes through, the substances that are produced are called the products of the reaction).
A redox reaction --> a reaction whereby oxidation & reduction occurs
Reduction:
Charge of Cl2 = 0
Charge of Cl- in NaCl = -1
Hence, since charge of Cl2 decreased from 0 in Cl2 to -1 in NaCl, reduction occured.
Oxidation:
Charge of Na = 0
Charge of Na+ in NaCl = +1
Hence, since charge of Na increased from 0 in Na to +1 in NaCl, oxidation occured.
Since both oxidation & reduction occured in the reaction, it is a redox reaction.
Answer:
1.60.
Explanation:
- The no. of millimoles of HCl = MV = (0.15 M)(20.0 mL) = 3.0 mmol.
- The no. of millimoles of KOH = MV = (0.10 M)(20.0 mL) = 2.0 mmol.
<em>Since the no. of millimoles of HCl is larger than that of KOH. The solution is acidic.</em>
<em></em>
∴ M of remaining HCl [H⁺] remaining = (NV)HCl - (NV)KOH/V total = (3.0 mmol) - (2.0 mmol) / (40.0 mL) = 0.025 M.
∵ pH = - log[H⁺]
<em>∴ pH = - log[H⁺] </em>= - log(0.025) = <em>1.602 ≅ 1.60.</em>
