Brad is testing three solutions with litmus paper. After dipping the litmus paper strips in the solutions, he observes two paper

s turning blue and one turning red. Out of the three solutions, how many are acidic?

Answer: one solution is acidic

Explanation:

Acid base indicators are usually weak acids or weak bases. They change their color in the solution with change in the pH.

For any indicator say HIn , the dissociation can be shown as:

HIn\rightleftharpoons H^++In^-

Litmus is one such indicator which turns red in acidic solutions, blue in alkaline solutions, and purple in neutral solutions.

Thus out of three solutions , the litmus paper strip is turning red in one solution, thus only one solution is acidic. the other two in which litmus is showing blue color are alkaline in nature.

After dipping the litmus paper strips in the solutions, the answer to the question is that one is acidic because according to brad's observation on turned red and the others are basic or alkaline with the two papers turning blue.

You have a solution that is 0.02M formate (HCOO-) and 0.03M formic acid (HCOOH), which has a Ka of 1.8x10-4. What is the pH of t
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

3.6

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Concentration of formic acid: 0.03 M
  • Concentration of formate ion: 0.02 M
  • Acid dissociation constant (Ka): 1.8 × 10⁻⁴

Step 2: Calculate the pH

We have a buffer system formed by a weak acid (HCOOH) and its conjugate base (HCOO⁻). We can calculate the pH using the <em>Henderson-Hasselbach equation</em>.

pH = pKa +log\frac{[base]}{[acid]} = -log 1.8 \times 10^{-4} + log \frac{0.02}{0.03} = 3.6

When calculating the equilibrium constant, aqueous solutes must be expressed in moles per liter (M), and gases must be expressed
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

B. They are dimensionless ratios of the actual concentration or pressure divided by standard state concentration, which is 1 M for solutions and 1 bar for gases.

Explanation:

Activity of a substance is defined as the ratio of an effective concentration or an effective pressure to a standard state pressure or a standard state pressure. It is usually a unit less ratio.

Concentrations in an equilibrium constant are really dimensionless ratios of actual concentrations divided by standard state concentrations. Since standard states are 1 M for solutes, 1 bar for gases, and pure substances for solids and liquids, these are the units to be used.

Hence, activity is a fudge factor to ideal solutions that correct the true concentration. Activity of a gas and solute concentration is a ratio with no unit.
