Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

     pH of HNO₃ = 3.75

   

Unknown:

  [OH⁻], concentration of hydroxyl ions = ?

   pOH of the solution = ?

 Solution

 The pH or pOH scale is a convenient way of expressing the level of acidity or alkalinity of aqueous solutions.  

   The pH of a solution is the negative logarithm to base 10 of the hydrogen ion concentration of the solution:

      pH = -log₁₀[H⁺]

      pOH = -log₁₀[OH⁻]

 For any aqueous solution, the sum of the pH and pOH is 14. That is;

                     pH + pOH = 14

Now solving for [OH⁻]:

               HNO₃ + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + NO₃⁻

    Since pH + pOH = 14

               pOH = 14 - pH = 14 -3.75 = 10.25

  since pOH = -log₁₀[OH⁻]

              10.25 = -log₁₀(OH⁻)

              [OH⁻] = inverse log₁₀(-pOH)

              [OH⁻] = inverse log₁₀(-10.25) = 5.62 x 10⁻¹¹moldm⁻³

Answer:

5.62×10⁻¹¹ M

Explanation:

Given the pH of the nitric acid, (HNO_3)

pH = 3.75

Also, pH + pOH = 14  

So, pOH = 14 - 3.75 = 10.25

pOH is the negative logarithm of the hydroxide ion concentration.

Thus,

pOH = -log[OH⁻ ]

So,

10.25 = -log[OH⁻ ]

[OH⁻ ] = Antilog (-10.25) = 5.62×10⁻¹¹ M

In the context of small molecules with similar molar masses, arrange these intermolecular forces by strength (hydrogen bonding -
Katarina [22]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Arrangement of inter molecular forces from strongest to weakest.

  • Hydrogen bonding
  • Dipole-dipole interactions
  • London dispersion forces.
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Intermolecular forces are defined as the attractive forces between two molecules due to some polar sides of molecules. They can be between nonpolar molecules.

Hydrogen bonding is a type of dipole dipole interaction between the positive charge hydrogen ion and the slightly negative pole of a molecule. For example H---O bonding between water molecules.

Dipole dipole interactions are also attractive interactions between the slightly positive head of one molecule and the negative pole of other molecules.

But they are weaker than hydrogen bonding.

London dispersion forces are temporary interactions caused due to electronic dispersion in atoms of two molecules placed together. They are usually in nonpolar molecules like F2, I2. they are weakest interactions.

What is scientific literacy?<br><br> Why is it important?
miskamm [114]

Answer:Scientific literacy is the knowledge and understanding of scientific concepts and processes required for personal decision making, participation in civic and cultural affairs, and economic productivity. It also includes specific types of abilities.Science literacy is important because it provides a context for addressing societal problems, and because a science- literate populace can better cope with many of its prob- lems and make intelligent and informed decisions that will affect the quality of their lives and those of their children.

What is the charge of Fe(OH)3?
klasskru [66]
The charge for this compound is positive. For Fe, it's charge is positive 3, and for OH, it's charge is negative 1. You would then criss cross the charges of each and come out with Fe(OH)3. I hope this helped!! :)
