Answer: 3.60

Explanation:

pH is the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration of a solution.

Mathematically, pH = -log(H+)

Since [H+] = 0.00025

Then, pH = - log (0.00025)

pH = - (-3.60)

pH = 3.6 (since the two minus signs will cancel out)

Thus, the pH of the solution is 3.6, making it an acidic solution

How many valence electrons do atoms in each molecule need for them to be stable?

Each H atom needs two valence electrons to be stable.
Each atom of an element other than H needs eight valence electron to be stable.

There are two H atoms and two O atoms in an $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ molecule. Atoms in each $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ need $2 \times 1 + 2\times 2 = 6$ more electrons to be stable.
There are two H atoms and one O atom in an $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecule. Atoms in each $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecule need $2 \times 1 + 2= 4$ more electrons to be stable.
There are two O atoms in an $\text{O}_2$ molecule. Atoms in each $\text{O}_2$ molecule need $2 \times 2 = 4$ more electrons to be stable.

How many chemical bonds in each molecule?

Each chemical bond adds one valence electron to each bonding atom. Each chemical bond connects two atoms. As a result, each chemical bond adds two valence electrons to the molecule.

Each $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ molecule needs $6 / 2 = 3$ chemical bonds.
Each $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecule needs $4 / 2 = 2$ chemical bonds.
Each $\text{O}_2$ molecule needs $4 /2= 2$ chemical bonds.

What chemical bonds are these? Again, each H atom needs only one more valence electron to be stable. It will share only one electron with O and form one H-O bond. The rest of the chemical bonds are between O atoms.

There are two H atoms in each $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ molecule, which form two H-O bonds. Two of the three chemical bonds in this molecule are H-O. The other is an O-O single bond between the two O atoms.
There are two H atoms in each $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecule, which form two H-O bonds. Both chemical bonds in this molecule are H-O. There's no O-O bond in this molecule.
There is no H atom in $\text{O}_2$ molecules. Both chemical bonds are between O atoms. However, there are only two O atoms. There must be two chemical bonds between the two O atoms. That bond will be an O-O double bond.

Can someone explain the steps for balancing chemical equations in depth?

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Steps explained below

Explanation:

To explain balancing of chemical equations, I will make use of an example equation where Hydrogen and oxygen react to form water.

H2 + O2 = H2O

Now, the equation I've listed above is an unbalanced chemical equation. It can be balanced by the following steps;

Step 1: Identify the elements on both the left Hand side and the right hand side.

In this case;

on the left hand side, we have H and O.

On the right hand side, we have H and I also.

Step 2: Identify the number of atoms of each element on both the left and right hand sides.

On the left, H has 2 atoms and O has 2 atoms.

On the right, H has 2 atoms and O has 1 atom.

Step 3: For the equation to be balanced, the number of atoms of each element on the right and left hand side must be the same.

Thus,

O on the left hand side has 2 atoms but on the right hand side it has 1 atom. Thus, we will multiply O on the right by 2 to balance what we have on the left.

So, we now have;

H2 + O2 = 2H2O

Step 4: Check equation: We now have;

H2 + O2 = 2H2O

Our left hand side remains 2 atoms of H and 2 atoms of O. But on the right, we now have;

2 atoms O and 4 atoms of H.

Which means atoms of H is not balanced with the left side.

Step 5: rebalance equation: To rebalance, we multiply H on the left by 2 to give us 2 × 2 = 4 atoms.

Thus, we now have;

2H2 + O2 = 2H2O
