Water (H
2O) is a polar inorganic compound that is at room temperature a tasteless and odorless liquid, which is nearly colorless apart from an inherent hint of blue. It is by far the most studied chemical compound and is described as the "universal solvent" [18][19] and the "solvent of life".[20] It is the most abundant substance on Earth[21] and the only common substance to exist as a solid, liquid, and gas on Earth's surface.[22] It is also the third most abundant molecule in the universe.[21]

Answer:
38.75 L
Explanation:
From the question,
Applying Boyles Law,
PV = P'V'....................... Equation 1
Where P = Original pressure of the Argon gas, V = Original Volume of Argon gas, P' = Final pressure of Argon gas, V' = Final Volume of Argon gas.
make V the subject of the equation
V = P'V'/P.................... Equation 2
Given: P = 34.6 atm, V' = 456 L, P' = 2.94 atm.
Substitute these values into equation 2
V = (456×2.94)/34.6
V = 38.75 L
First of all, the problem says that you have to convert the acid salt to its acidic form. If you take it to the neutral pH, that won't be acidic at all. As simple as that, you don't take it to neutral pH because it would lose its definition of being acidic afterall.
