You did not provide the statements but a possible answer might be that the current atomic theory is sound and that technology that could challenge it does not exist at this time. There is no way to change it because no research can be done about it.
<u>Given information:</u>
Concentration of HCl = 0.035 M
<u>To determine:</u>
pH of the solution
<u>Explanation:</u>
Hydrochloric acid, HCl is a strong acid. It will completely dissociate to give H+ and Cl- ions
HCl → H+ + Cl-
Hence the concentration of H+ = Cl- = 0.035M
Now, pH measures the strength of H+ ions in a given solution. It is expressed as:
pH = -log[H+]
pH (HCl) = -log(0.035) = 1.46
Ans: pH of 0.035M HCl is 1.46
A negative
That's the answer
From the reaction between Cu and HNO₃, the formed gas is NO₂ instead of NO₃. Hence the correct balanced equation would be,
Cu(s) + 4HNO₃(aq) → Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2NO₂(g) + 2H₂O<span>(l)
Here, Cu goes to </span>Cu(NO₃)₂ by changing its oxidation number from 0 to +2 while NO₃⁻ goes to NO₂ by reducing its oxidation state from +5 to +4 . Hence Cu is oxidized by HNO₃ in the reaction.
