A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a chemical species that donates one or more hydrogen ions in a reaction. In contrast, a Bronsted-Lowry base accepts hydrogen ions. When it donates its proton, the acid becomes its conjugate base. A more general look at the theory is as an acid as a proton donor and a base as a proton acceptor. :)
We are given that the concentration of NaOH is 0.0003 M and are asked to calculate the pH
We know that NaOH dissociates by the following reaction:
NaOH → Na⁺ + OH⁻
Which means that one mole of NaOH produces one mole of OH⁻ ion, which is what we care about since the pH is affected only by the concentration of H⁺ and OH⁻ ions
Now that we know that one mole of NaOH produces one mole of OH⁻, 0.0003M NaOH will produce 0.0003M OH⁻
Concentration of OH⁻ (also written as [OH⁻]) = 3 * 10⁻⁴
<u>pOH of the solution:</u>
pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(3 * 10⁻⁴)
pOH = -0.477 + 4
pOH = 3.523
<u>pH of the solution:</u>
We know that the sum of pH and pOH of a solution is 14
pH + pOH = 14
pH + 3.523 = 14 [subtracting 3.523 from both sides]
pH = 10.477
With the info given i would have to say their is no kinetic energy, it's all potential energy.
Answer:
lithium=atomic no.=3
Explanation:
-1 charge on lithium means one electron has added to it .Thus,
Li-1=no. of electrons=3+1=4
