Answer : The pH value of an acid is below 7.
Explanation :
pH : It is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion or hydronium ion concentration.
Mathematically,
![pH=-\log [H^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-%5Clog%20%5BH%5E%2B%5D)
When the pH less than 7 then the solution is acidic and the concentration of hydrogen ion is greater than hydroxide ion.
When the pH more than 7 then the solution is basic and the concentration of hydrogen ion is less than hydroxide ion.
When the pH is equal to 7 then the solution is neutral and the concentration of hydrogen ion is equal to the hydroxide ion.
Hence, the pH value of an acid is below 7.
Answer:
Electrons will flow from left to right through the wire.
Pb^2+ ions will be reduccd to Pb metal.
The concentration of Sn2+ ions in the left compartment will increase.
Explanation:
Looking at the relative electrode potentials of the two metals
Sn= -0.14
Pb=-0.13
Tin is expected to function as the anode (left hand half cell) and lead as the anode (right hand half cell) tin oxidizes to sn^2+ hence its concentration increases on the left compartment while lead is reduced to ordinary lead metal on the right hand half cell . since oxidation occurs on the left hand side, electrons flow from left to right.
The % yield if 500 g of sulfur trioxide reacted with excess water to produce 575 g of sulfuric acid is calculated using the below formula
% yield = actual yield/ theoretical yield x100
actual yield =575 grams
to calculate theoretical yield
find the moles of SO3 used =mass/molar mass
= 500g/ 80 g/mol =6.25 moles
SO3+H2O=H2SO4
by use of mole ratio of SO3 : H2SO4 which is 1:1 the moles of H2SO4 is also= 6.25 moles
the theoretical yield of H2SO4 is therefore = moles /molar mass
= 6.25 x98= 612.5 grams
%yield is therefore= 575 g/612 g x100= 93.9 %
