Acidic and basic are two extremes that describe chemicals, just like hot and cold are two extremes that describe temperature. Mixing acids and bases can cancel out their extreme effects, much like mixing hot and cold water can even out the water temperature. A substance that is neither acidic nor basic is neutral.
The character of acidic, basic and neutral is defined by the concentration of hydrogen ions [H+](mol/L). A solution with a concentration of hydrogen ions higher than 10-7mol/L is acidic, and a solution with a lower concentration is alkaline (another way to say basic). Using the formula, pH=-log[H+], a pH of 7 is neutral, a pH less than 7 is acidic, and a pH greater than 7 is basic. As one can see from this formula, ten times a given concentration of hydrogen ions means one unit lower in terms of pH value (higher acidity), and vice versa.
The formula for ph is given by:pH=−log10[H+]
What is the concentration of H+ ions at a pH = 8?
In calculating for the concentration of hydrogen ion, the formula is given by:[H+]=(10)^(-pH)
Solution:
[H+]=(10)^(-8)[H+]=0.00000001 mol/L
What is the concentration of OH– ions at a pH = 8?pH+pOH=148+pOH=14pOH=6
[OH-]=(10)^(-pOH)[OH-]=(10)^(-6)[OH-]=0.000001
What is the ratio of H+ ions to OH– ions at a pH = 2?The ratio is 0.00000001:0.000001 which is equal to 0.01
1 mole of an alkane gives 2 moles is correct answer
Answer & explanation:
To balance a chemical equation, we must make sure that there are equal amounts of each element in the equation on either side.
To balance an equation step-by-step we first start by counting the amount of each element on each side. If they aren't equal, we must make them amounts equal on either side.
After you make sure all the elements are balanced, the net charge on both sides must also be equal.
Answer:
Ribosomes preform biological synthesis. (mRNA Translation). They also link amino acids together to form polypeptide chain.
Answer:
Explanation:
a) For diatomic gas: Translational motion = 3 and rotational motion = 2
∴ Total (internal energy) = 3 + 2 = 5
b) Translational + Rotational + Vibrational = 3 + 2 + 1 = 6
c) Linear molecule
i) Non linear molecule
ii) Monatomic molecule
