<span>The reason it will be 7 for some titrations is that when you  titrates a strong acid with a strong base for example  HCl and NaOH the salt formed is conjugate base of strong acid and will be a very weak base
 That means that it cannot produce any OH^-1 and all the H+ has been converted to water.The only source of H+ or OH is water with a Ka of 10^-14 so the pH = -log [H+]=-log 10^-7 = 7 
second reason is 
When you titrates a weak acid with strong base at equivalence point 
only a water solution of the conjugate base exists 

CH3COOH + NaOH ----- Na+ CH3COO^-1 + H2O 
Since the conjugate base is the conjugate base of a weak acid it will hydrolyze in water like so 
for instance Na+ CH3COO^-1 + HCl---- CH3COOH + NaCl the equivalence point will be way BELOW 7 and in the case of above will be less than 5. So pH of 7 at equivalence point is only reached in strong acid strong base titrations.
hope this helps</span>

PH is 7 in case the strength of the acid and base are the same ( i.e. either weak or strong). In case of strong acid weak base or weak acid strong base titrations, buffer solutions can be formed which result in a pH other than 7

in a typical person, the level of glucose is about 85 mg/ 100 mL of blood. if an average body contains about 11 pt of blood, how
Vanyuwa [196]

Let's note that 1 pint = 473.1765 mL, so 11 pints should be 5204.9415 mL.

We make a proportion out of the word problem

(85 mg glucose/ 100 mL) times (1 g/ 1000 mg) = 4.4242 grams of glucose

In a synthesis reaction, one reactant contains 346 J of chemical energy, and one reactant contains 153 J of chemical energy. The
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

64J of energy must have been released.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

One reactant contains 346 J of chemical energy, the other reactant contains 153 J of chemical energy.

The product contains 435 J of chemical energy.

Step 2:

Since the energy is conserved

Sum of energy of Reactants = Energy of Products

Sum of energy of Reactants = 346 J + 153 J = 499 J

The energy of the product = 435 J

435 < 499

This means energy must have been lost as heat.

Step 3: Calculate heat released

499 J - 435 J = 64 J

64J of energy must have been released.
