2. Classify the following solutions as acidic, basic, or neutral at 25OC.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer: a) pH = 13.00 : basic

b) [H_3O^+]=1.0\times 10^{-12}: basic

c) pOH = 5.00 : basic

d) [OH^-]=1.0\times 10^{-9}: acidic

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

pH=-\log [H_3O^+]

Acids have pH ranging from 1 to 6.9 and bases have pH ranging from 7.1 to 14.Neutral substances have pH of 7.

a) pH = 13.00

As pH is more than 7, the solution is basic.

b)  [H_3O^+]=1.0\times 10^{-12}

Putting in the values:

pH=-\log[1.0\times 10^{-12}]

pH=12

As pH is more than 7, the solution is basic.

c) pOH = 5.00

pH+pOH=14.0

pH=14.0-5.00=9.00

As pH is more than 7, the solution is basic.

d) [OH^-]=1.0\times 10^{-9}

Putting in the values:

pOH=-\log[1.0\times 10^{-9}]

pOH=9.00

pH+pOH=14.0

pH=14.0-9.00=5.00

As pH is less than 7, the solution is acidic.

Nitrogen monoxide and oxygen, both colorless gases, form a red-brown gas when mixed. Nitrogen monoxide and oxygen are called the
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Nitrogen monoxide and oxygen are called the reactants

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Nitrogen monoxide = NO

Oxygen = O2

Step 2: Balanced equation

2NO + O2 → 2NO2

This means that 2 moles of NO will be consumed and and 1 mole of O2 to produce 2 moles of NO2

This means NO2 is the prodcut that is produced.

NO +O2 react with eachother, to form NO2

This means nitrogen monoxide (NO) and Oxygen (O2) are called the reactants.

Write a balanced equation for the reaction between copper metal and nitric acid to produce copper II nitrate, nitrogen dioxide,
almond37 [142]

Nitric acid basically reacts with copper as per to the reaction given 4 HNO3(l) + Cu(s) -----> Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2 NO2(g) + 2 H2O(l).

<h3>What is a balanced reaction?</h3>

A balanced reaction includes the same number of elements on both sides of the equation.

In a chemical reaction, the stoichiometric coefficient is the number written in front of atoms, ions, and molecules to balance the number of each element between the reactant and product sides of the equation.

The balanced reaction for reaction between copper metal and nitric acid to produce copper II nitrate, nitrogen dioxide, and water will be as follows:

4HNO_3(l)+Cu(s)----- > Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NO_2+2H_2O

Thus, the above mentioned is the balanced reaction for the given scenario.
