Answer:
If you mix equal amounts of a strong acid and a strong base, the two chemicals essentially cancel each other out and produce a salt and water. Mixing equal amounts of a strong acid with a strong base also produces a neutral pH (pH = 7) solution.
Answer:
A vascular plant is any one of a number of plants with specialized vascular tissue. The two types of vascular tissue, xylem and phloem, are responsible for moving water, minerals, and the products of photosynthesis throughout the plant.
Explanation:
Answer:
pH = 12.33
Explanation:
Lets call HA = butanoic acid and A⁻ butanoic acid and its conjugate base butanoate respectively.
The titration reaction is
HA + KOH ---------------------------- A⁻ + H₂O + K⁺
number of moles of HA : 118.3 ml/1000ml/L x 0.3500 mol/L = 0.041 mol HA
number of moles of OH : 115.4 mL/1000ml/L x 0.400 mol/L = 0.046 mol A⁻
therefore the weak acid will be completely consumed and what we have is the unreacted strong base KOH which will drive the pH of the solution since the contribution of the conjugate base is negligible.
n unreacted KOH = 0.046 - 0.041 = 0.005 mol KOH
pOH = - log (KOH)
M KOH = 0.005 mol / (0.118.3 +0.1154)L = 0.0021 M
pOH = - log (0.0021) = 1.66
pH = 14 - 1.96 = 12.33
Note: It is a mistake to ask for the pH of the <u>acid solutio</u>n since as the above calculation shows we have a basic solution the moment all the acid has been consumed.

Answer:
Cd(s) + AgNO₃(aq) → Cd(NO₃)₂ (aq) + Ag(s)
Oxidized: Cd
Reduced: Ag
Explanation:
Cd(s) + AgNO₃(aq) → Cd(NO₃)₂ (aq) + Ag(s)
Cd → Cd²⁺ + 2e⁻ Half reaction oxidation
1e⁻ + Ag⁺ → Ag Half reaction reduction
Ag changed oxidation number from +1 to 0
Cd changed oxidation number from 0 to +2
Let's ballance the electrons
( Cd → Cd²⁺ + 2e⁻ ) .1
( 1e⁻ + Ag⁺ → Ag ) .2
Cd + 2e⁻ + 2Ag⁺ → 2Ag + Cd²⁺ + 2e⁻
Finally the ballance equation is:
Cd(s) + 2AgNO₃(aq) → Cd(NO₃)₂ (aq) + 2Ag(s)
