Answer:
a. 9.2
b. 4.4
c. 6.3
Explanation:
In order to calculate the pH of each solution, we will use the definition of pH.
pH = -log [H⁺]
(a) [H⁺] = 5.4 × 10⁻¹⁰ M
pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 5.4 × 10⁻¹⁰ = 9.2
Since pH > 7, the solution is basic.
(b) [H⁺] = 4.3 × 10⁻⁵ M
pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 4.3 × 10⁻⁵ = 4.4
Since pH < 7, the solution is acid.
(c) [H⁺] = 5.4 × 10⁻⁷ M
pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 5.4 × 10⁻⁷ = 6.3
Since pH < 7, the solution is acid.
Answer:
Complete ionic: 
.
Net ionic: 
.
Explanation:
Start by identifying species that exist as ions. In general, such species include:
- Soluble salts.
- Strong acids and strong bases.
All four species in this particular question are salts. However, only three of them are generally soluble in water: 
, 
, and 
. These three salts will exist as ions:
- Each
formula unit will exist as one 
ion and one 
ion. - Each formula unit will exist as one
ion and two 
ions (note the subscript in the formula 
.) - Each formula unit will exist as one and two ions.
On the other hand, 
is generally insoluble in water. This salt will not form ions.
Rewrite the original chemical equation to get the corresponding ionic equation. In this question, rewrite , , and (three soluble salts) as the corresponding ions.
Pay attention to the coefficient of each species. For example, indeed each formula unit will exist as only one ion and one ion. However, because the coefficient of 
in the original equation is two, 
alone should correspond to two 
ions and two 
ions.
Do not rewrite the salt because it is insoluble.
.
Eliminate ions that are present on both sides of this ionic equation. In this question, such ions include one unit of and two units of . Doing so will give:
.
Simplify the coefficients:
.
N = 4 moles of Ar2, P = 1.90 atm, V = ?
T = 50C = 273 + 50K = 323K
PV = nRT --> V = nRT/P
V = (4)(.0821)(323)/1.90
V = 106.07/ 1.9
V = 55.8 L
Cells are too small to see with the naked eye.
It's pretty straight forward, use the cross-out method.
1) Microscopes MAGNIFY images, they don't color the cells. In fact, scientists have to use these chemicals to "stain" or color the cells to see them more easily through microscopes.
2) If the lenses of a microscope reduced the image of an organism to the size of a cell, you'd be seeing a very tiny human through your microscope, instead of actual cells.
3) Microscopes don't "trap" anything. In fact, scientists use plates or slides under microscopes to contain what they're studying.
