Assume that acid rain has lowered the ph of a particular lake to ph 5.0. what is the hydroxide ion concentration of this lake?
1 answer:
That acid rain has lowered the ph of a particular lake to ph 5.0. the hydroxide ion concentration of this lake is
1 × 10^-9 mol of hydroxide ions per liter of lake water
pH + pOH = 14
pOH = 14 - 5
pOH = 9.00
pOH = -log [OH⁻]
[OH⁻] = 10^-pOH
[OH⁻] = mol
Therefore,
the hydroxide ion concentration of this lake is 1 × 10^-9 mol

The given elements put into an equation using their symbols are as follows:
Pb +
= 
+ Ag
Since there are 2 Pb on the right side of the equation, you would change the coefficient of Pb on the left side to 2:
2Pb + = + Ag
Since there are 2 Acetate on the right side of the equation, you would change the coefficient of Silver Acetate on the left side to 2:
2Pb +
= + Ag
Now there are 2 Silver on the left side, so you change the coefficient of Silver on the right side to 2:
2Pb + = + 2Ag
That is your final equation
The coefficients are 2 + 2 = 1 + 2
Pb +
Since there are 2 Pb on the right side of the equation, you would change the coefficient of Pb on the left side to 2:
2Pb +
Since there are 2 Acetate on the right side of the equation, you would change the coefficient of Silver Acetate on the left side to 2:
2Pb +
Now there are 2 Silver on the left side, so you change the coefficient of Silver on the right side to 2:
2Pb +
That is your final equation
The coefficients are 2 + 2 = 1 + 2
