If a solution has a pOH of 8.71, what is the [H+]?

Chemistry
1 answer:
omeli [17]2 years ago

Answer: 5.1\times 10^{-6}M

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

pH=-\log [H^+]

pH+pOH=14

Putting in the values:

pH=14-8.71=5.29

5.29=-log[H^+]

[H^+]=5.1\times 10^{-6}

Thus [H^+] is 5.1\times 10^{-6}M

The latent heat of melting is 80 calories for 1 gram of ice. if 1 gram of ice absorbs 60 calories what do i get?
Eva8 [605]
Latent heat of melting is the energy that a solid absorbs to change its phase as its liquid. During this process, since all energy is used to change the phase, the temperature is constant.

Here the latent energy of melting for 1 g of ice is 80 calories and that 1 g of ice only absorbed 60 calories. hence the phase is not changed because it requires more 20 calories to melt.

Hence 1 g of ice remains as its solid phase (ice).

What is the chemical formula for a compound between Li and Br?
natima [27]

LiBr.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Note that the group number in this answer refers to the new IUPAC group number, which ranges from 1 to 18. Counts from the left. Start with the first two column (group 1 and 2), go on to the transition elements (Sc, Ti, etc. in group 3 through 12), and continue with the nonmetals (group 13 through 18).  

Li is a group 1 metal. As a metal, it tends to form positive ions ("cations"). Metals in group 1 and 2 are <em>main group</em> metals. The charge on main group metal ions tends to be the same as the group number of the metal. Li is in group 1. The charge on an Li ion will be +1. Formula of the Li ion will be \text{Li}^{+}.

Br is a group 17 nonmetal. As a nonmetal, it tends to form negative ions ("anions"). The charge on nonmetal ions excepting for H tends to equal the group number of the nonmetal minus 18. Br is in group 17. The charge on a Br ion will be 17 - 18 = -1. Formula of the Br ion will be \text{Br}^{-}

All the ions in an ionic compound carry charge. However, some of the ions like \text{Li}^+ are positive. Others ions like \text{Br}^{-} are negative. Charge on the two types of ions balance each other. As a result, the compound is <em>overall</em> neutral.

1 × (+1) + 1 × (-1) = 0. The positive charge on one \text{Li}^{+} ion balances the negative charge on one \text{Br}^{-} ion. The two ions would pair up at a 1:1 ratio.

The empirical formula for an ionic compound shows all the ions in the compound. Positive ions are written in front of negative ions. \text{Li}^{+} is positive and \text{Br}^{-} is negative. The formula shall also show the simplest ratio between the ions. For the compound between Li and Br, a 1:1 ratio will be the simplest. The "1" subscript in an empirical formula can be omitted. Hence the formula: LiBr.

Passing an electric current through a sample of water (H2O) can cause the water to decompose into hydrogen gas (H2) and oxygen g
Setler [38]
The balanced chemical reaction is:

<span>2H2O= 2H2 + O2
</span>
We are given the amount of oxygen to be produced in the reaction. The starting point for the calculations will be this amount.

50 g ( 1 mol O2 / 32 g O2 ) ( 2 mol H2O / 1 mol O2 ) ( 18.01 g H2O / 1 mol H2O) = 56.28 g of H2O is needed.

Therefore, the correct answer is the last option.

How is it possible to predict the type of bond that is likely to be found in a substance? what types of atoms generally form ion
Alenkasestr [34]
Using electronegativity difference is a good guide to the ionic/ covalent nature. Large differences indicate greater ionic character, small differences more covalent character. The larger the difference in electronegativity the more ionic properties a bond is said to have. The smaller the difference in electronegativity the more covalent properties a bond is said to have. 
Ionic bonding is formed through electrostatic attraction between a cation and anion. Foe example, Sodium fluoride has ionic bonding because it is composed by sodium and Fluorine (a non metal). On the other hand, covalent bonding is characterized by atoms sharing pairs of electrons. For example; methane has covalent bonding; carbon has 4 valence electrons and hydrogen has 1; when they bond they have a total of 8 electrons and satisfies the octet rule.
