The pH of a neutral aqueous solution at 37°C is 6.8.

<h3>What is Kw? </h3>

Kw is defined as the dissociation, which is also known as self-ionization, constant of water. this is an equilibrium constant, and its expression is:

Kw = [OH⁻] . [H₃O⁺]

Neutral pH determines that the concentrations of OH⁻ and H₃O⁺ are equal.

<h3>Calculation</h3>

Let us suppose concentration of OH and H₃O⁺ is x, to calculate it:

Kw =[OH⁻] . [H₃O⁺] = x²

x² = 2.4 × 10⁻¹⁴ M²

x = 1.5919 × 10⁻⁷ M

Hence, the concentration of OH and H₃O⁺ (x) = [H₃O⁺] = [OH⁻] = 1.5919×10⁻⁷ M

pH = -log[H₃O⁺] = -log( 1.5919×10⁻⁷ M)

pH = 6.8

Thus, we find that the pH of a neutral aqueous solution at 37 °c (which is the normal human body temperature) is 6.8.

Would convection work if there were no<br> gravity? Why<br> or<br> why not
Pavel [41]

Answer:

no

Explanation:

Because gravity is necessary for density differences to arise,  convection wouldn't happen in a zero-gravity environment such as space.

Element A has an electronegativity of 0.8 and element B has an electronegativity of 3.0. Which statement best describes the bond
Advocard [28]

Answer:

C) The compound is largely ionic with A as the cation.

Explanation:

Pulings proposed the method to determine if the compound is ionic in nature or covalent in nature , by finding the difference between the electronegativity of the respective cation and anion .

The ion with higher electronegativity is the anion and the ion with lower electronegativity is the cation.

The electronegativity difference above 1.7 make the compound ionic in nature.

Hence, from the question ,

A is the cation and B is the anion.

And the electronegativity difference above 1.7 so the compound is ionic in nature.

Sulfur dioxide gas (SO2) reacts with excess oxygen gas (O2) and excess liquid water (H2O) to form liquid sulfuric acid (H2SO4).
inessss [21]
A.2SO₂ + O₂ + 2H₂O → 2H₂SO₄
B.Moles of SO₂ = 67.2 / 22.4Moles of SO₂ = 3 molesMoles of H₂SO₄ = 3 molesMass of H₂SO₄ = 3 x 98Mass of H₂SO₄ = 294 grams
Assuming sulfuric acid to have the same density as water,density = 1000 g / LVolume = mass / densityVolume = 294 / 1000Volume = 0.29 liters of sulfuric acid
