A student has a solution with a pH of 7. The student adds HF, hydrogen floride, to the solution, hoping to increases the pH of t

he solution. What is wrong with this student's approach?
Select one: A. You cannot change the pH of a solution. B. HF is an acid, so it will lower the pH of the solution. C. The pH of the solution is already as high as possible. D. The pH is 7, so the solution is already as acidic as possible.

Low pH = high acidity.
HF has a very low pH, so when added to a solution, it will lower the pH of the solution and therefore make it more acidic. So the answer should be B.

Under which class of substitution reaction does this reaction appear to fall
liberstina [14]

This reaction is most likely to fall under SN2 because the thing called carbonication does not occur in SN1. The carbon forms a partial bond with the nucleophile during the intermediate phase and the leaving group. So for this question the reaction will fall under SN2.

you are given a solution of lead nitrate. use any of the solution used in this experiment to form a white precipitate of lead ch
Vesnalui [34]

We have as a reagent a salt, lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2), and an unknown solution that gives us as a product lead chloride (PbCl2). That is, the solution must contain chlorine.

If a chlorine solution is used we will have the following reaction:

Pb(NO_{3)2}+2Cl^-\rightarrow PbCl_2+2NO^-_3

So, with a chlorine solution, we will have a white precipitate of lead chloride.

A sample of metal has a mass of 21.35 g, and a volume of 6.28 mL. What is the density of this metal?
Scilla [17]

Answer:

3.40g/mL

Explanation:

Density is a measure of mass over volume, so to get the density all we have to do is divide the mass by the volume.

21.35g ÷ 6.28 mL = 3.40g/mL
