<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

Torrey's neighbor told her that a marble rolling down a hill increases in velocity as it rolls down, but does not increase in ki
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Torrey's neighbour is incorrect because increase in kinetic energy is proportional to velocity.  If the velocity increases so will the object's kinetic energy.  Because the mass is constant, if the velocity increases, so does the kinetic energy.

Where is nature can you find isomers? <br><br> 11 points!!!
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Isomers are defined as the molecules or polyatomic ions which have similar molecular formula but different in arrangements of atoms.

Isomers can be found  in food items carrying glucose (C6H12O6), galactose or fructose,  they all have the same chemical formula but differ structurally and chemically.

Glucose is found in vegetables and milk, galactose found in dairy products, and Fructose is found in fruit juices.

What is the percent yield of O2 if 10.2 g of O2 is produced from the decomposition of 17.0 g of H2O?
yawa3891 [41]

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

2H2O = 2H2 + O2

<span>We are given the amount of water used in the decomposition reaction. This will be our starting point.</span>

<span>17.0 g H2O</span> (1 mol  H2O/ 18.02 g H2O) (1 mol O2/2 mol <span>H2O</span>) ( 32.00 g O2/1mol O2) = 15.09 g O2

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100

<span>Percent yield =10.2 g / 15.09  g x 100</span>

Percent yield = 67.58%
