What is always true of a weak acid

You mix two clear liquids and a colored solid forms at the bottom of the beaker. Do you think this is a chemical change? How can

UkoKoshka [18]

The answer is yes. A chemical change occurred.
Chemical change is defined as the rearrangement or alteration in the of atoms in one or more substance which result in the formation of a new substance.

In the above, you mixed two clear liquids and the result was a new substance which is a colored solid precipitate at the bottom of the beaker.
This means that changes in the atoms of the two clear liquids occurred leading to the formation of this new solid substance.

This means that chemical change has occurred.

Hope this helps :)

In a titration of 47.41 mL of 0.3764 M ammonia with 0.3838 M aqueous nitric acid, what is the pH of the solution when 47.41 mL +

Volgvan

Answer: The pH of the solution is 1.136

Explanation:

To calculate the moles from molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

For ammonia:

Molarity of ammonia = 0.3764 M

Volume of ammonia = 47.41 mL = 0.04741 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.3764mol/L=\frac{\text{Moles of ammonia}}{0.04741L}\\\\\text{Moles of ammonia}=0.01784mol$

For nitric acid:

Molarity of nitric acid = 0.3838 M

Volume of ammonia = (47.41 + 10.00) mL = 57.41 mL= 0.05741 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.3838mol/L=\frac{\text{Moles of nitric acid}}{0.05741L}\\\\\text{Moles of nitric acid}=0.02203mol$

After the completion of reaction, amount of nitric acid remained = 0.022 - 0.0178 = 0.0042 mol

For the reaction of ammonia with nitric acid, the equation follows:

$NH_3+HNO_3\rightarrow NH_4NO_3$

At $t=0$ 0.0178 0.022

Completion 0 0.0042 0.0178

As, the solution of the reaction is made from strong acid which is nitric acid and the conjugate acid of weak base which is ammonia. So, the pH of the reaction will be based totally on the concentration of nitric acid.

To calculate the pH of the reaction, we use the equation:

$pH=-\log[H^+]$
