Is the hydrogen ion concentration of a pH 3.8 solution higher or lower than that of a solution with a pH of 6.2?

2 answers:

5 0

The Hydrogen ion concentration of a pH 3.8 solution would be higher than that of a solution with a pH of 6.2. This is because since the pH scale measures the concentration of Hydrogen ions. We know that a pH range of less than 7 is considered acidic and greater than 7 is basic. If a solution is more acidic it would possess more hydrogen ions than if it weren't. In this case a pH value of 3.8 is more acidic than pH 6.2.

PH= -[H+]. So, when the concentration of the hydrogen ions increases, the pH decreases and vice versa. Therefore, the concentration of hydrogen ions is higher in pH 3.8.

andre [41]

Answer: The enthalpy change of the reaction is -243 J/mol

Explanation:

The heat released by the reaction is absorbed by the calorimeter and the solution.

The chemical equation used to calculate the heat released follows:

$q=c\times \Delta T$

where,

c = heat capacity of calorimeter = 1620 J/K

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature = $0.150^oC=0.150K$ (Change remains same)

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$q=1620J/K\times 0.15K=243J$

Sign convention of heat:

When heat is absorbed, the sign of heat is taken to be positive and when heat is released, the sign of heat is taken to be negative.

For the given chemical reaction:

$S\text{ (monoclinic)}\rightarrow S\text{ (orthorhombic)}$

We are given:

Moles of monoclinic sulfur = 1 mole

To calculate the enthalpy change of the reaction, we use the equation:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{q}{n}$

where,

q = amount of heat released = -243 J

n = number of moles = 1 mole

$\Delta H_{rxn}$ = enthalpy change of the reaction

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{-243J}{1mol}=-243J/mol$

Hence, the enthalpy change of the reaction is -243 J/mol

"What makes a bond polar"?

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter A.

Explanation:

A Covalent bond polar is between 2 non metals where one atom is bigger than the other one so the distribution of charges creates this polarity.

A. One atom attracts shared electrons more strongly than the other atom This is the correct definition of bond polar, one element is bigger and stronger than the other element.

B. One atom has transferred its electrons completely to another atom This definition is incorrect, it is the definition of ionic bonding.

C. A sea of electrons has been created between the elements This definition is incorrect for the polar bond, it describes a metallic bonding.

D. Two atoms are sharing electrons with equal attraction This definition is incorrect for a polar bond, but is the correct definition for nonpolar bonding.
