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.

Answer:

(ii) 1 dye

(iii) Food coloring F is insoluble in the solvent

(iv) 'E' and 'H'

(b) Food colouring G

Explanation:

Paper chromatography principle is based on the rates of migration of chemicals across a sheet of paper which are different and it consists of a stationary phase such as the water in the paper and a mobile phase such as the solvent resulting in the partitioning of the components of the mixture across the paper

The solution components are positioned to start in one place from where they migrate and separate out on the chromatography paper

(ii) The number of components into which the food colouring 'H' separates into = 1

Therefore, the number of dyes in food colouring 'H' = 1 dye

(iii) Food coloring 'F' does not move because it is insoluble in the solvent, which is the mobile phase

(iv) The food colouring that contains the dye that is likely to be most soluble in the solvent are does for which the dyes travel furthest, which are;

Food coloring 'E' and 'H'

(b) Using a similar question solution found on 'tutor my self' website, we have;

The R_f values are given as follows;

R_f = \dfrac{Distance \ moved \ by \ dye}{Distance \ moved \ by \ solvent}

The distance moved by the solvent = 5 units

The distance moved by dyes in food colouring 'E' and 'H' = 4 units

The distance moved by dye in food colouring 'G' = 3.3 units

The distance moved by the second dye in food colouring 'E' = 2.7 units

By inspection, we get;

R_f dye in food colouring 'G' = 3.3/5 = 0.66,

Therefore, the dye with R_f value closest to 0.67 is the dye in food colouring 'G'.

Suppose there is 0.63 g of HNO3 per 100 mL of a particular solution. What is the concentration of the HNO3 solution in moles per
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

There are 0.09996826 moles per liter of the solution.

Explanation:

Molar mass of HNO3: 63.02

Convert grams to moles

0.63 grams/ 63.02= 0.009996826

Convert mL to L and place under moles (mol/L)

100mL=0.1 L

0.009996826/0.1= 0.09996826 mol/L
