8 0

Answer:

A. maintain electrical neutrality in the half-cells via migration of ions

Explanation:

Salt bridge -

For an electrochemical reaction , involving an anode and a cathode , both the electrodes are connect via a salt bridge to complete the circuit for the reaction .

One of the very important use of a salt bridge is to maintain the electrical neutrality of the respective half cells , which is achieved by the movement of ions .

Hence , from the given options , the correct option is ( a ) .

Indicate which solution in each pair has the lower pH. Your response should be a four letter "word". The first letter should be
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

bcfh

Explanation:

HClO₄ reacts with water thus:

HClO₄ + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + ClO₄⁻

That means HClO₄ produce H₃O⁺ that decreases pH. That means the higher concentration of HClO₄ decreases pH. Thus, lower pH will be:

b) 0.2 M HClO4

The reaction of NaClO₄ is:

NaClO₄ + H₂O → OH⁻ + HClO₄ + Na⁺

The higher concentration of NaClO₄ the higher production of OH⁻ that increase pH, that means the lower concentration of NaClO₄ the lower pH, thus, the answer is:

<em>c) 0.1 M NaClO or</em>

HF reacts with water thus;

HF ⇄ H⁺ + F⁻

The equilibrium constant is:

k = [H⁺] [F⁻] / [HF] = 3,5x10⁻⁴

For HNO₂ equilibrium is:

HNO₂ ⇄ H⁺ + NO₂⁻

k = [H⁺] [NO₂⁻] / [HNO₂] = 4,5x10⁻⁴

As k value is higher for HNO₂, the concentration of H⁺ will be higher in this system doing the HNO₂ with the lower pH.

f) 0.1 M HNO2

NaOH is a strong base that produce OH⁻ that increase pH, pure water is neutral, thus, the lowe pH is:

h) pure water
