Answer:

1) Basic

2) Basic

3) Acidic

Explanation:

pH of a solution is a measure of the H3O+ ions in the solution and hence reflects its acidity.

$pH = -log[H3O+]$

Solutions are classified as acidic, basic or neutral based on the pH range

-pH < 7, acidic

- pH = 7, neutral

- pH > 7, basic

1) [H3O+] = 2.5*10^-9M

$pH = -log[H3O+]=-log[2.5*10^{-9}]=8.60$

Since pH > 7, solution is basic

2)[OH-] = 1.6*10^-2M

$pOH = -log[OH-]=-log[1.6*10^{-2}]=1.80$

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 1.80 =12.2

Since pH > 7, solution is basic

3) [H3O+] = 7.9*10^-3M

$pH = -log[H3O+]=-log[7.9*10^{-3}]=2.10$

Since pH < 7, solution is acidic

Expansion

Explanation:

Expansion is the change is size of a body with increasing temperature and tension.

Bridges are built of iron. Iron thermally expands in the presence of increased temperature during the day. The length of the iron will increase by simple fractions. At night, when temperature drops, the bar returns back to its initial position.

The allowance for expansion of the metal is made in order to prevent tension within the structure.
Not doing this will cause the material to break since there is no free space for the bar to change shape.

The measurable properties of a substance, such as vapor pressure and surface tension, occur due to the strength of

SpyIntel [72]

Properties of a substance such as vapor pressure and surface tension depend on electrical forces between particles, as given by Coulomb's law.

The vapor pressure refers to how easily a liquid converts to gas while surface tension is the force that makes a liquid surface act as a stretched elastic skin.

Both vapor pressure and surface tension has a lot to do with the degree of polarity in a molecule. Usually, polar molecules have a low vapor pressure and high surface tension due to a high electrical forces between particles, as given by Coulomb's law.

A mixture of 5L of H2 and 3L O2 reacts to form H2O (g) at constant T and P .Find the

slamgirl [31]

The volume of H₂O = 5 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

5L of H₂ and 3L O₂

Reaction

2H₂ (g) + O₂(g) ⇒2H₂O(g)

Required

The volume of H₂O

Solution

Avogadro's hypothesis:

<em>In the same T,P and V, the gas contains the same number of molecules </em>

So the ratio of gas volume will be equal to the ratio of gas moles

mol H₂ = 5, mol O₂ = 3

Find limiting reactants

From equation, mol ratio H₂ : O₂ = 2 : 1, so :

$\tt H_2\div O_2=\dfrac{mol~H_2}{coefficient}\div \dfrac{mol~O_2}{coefficient}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{2}\div \dfrac{3}{1}=2.5\div 3\rightarrow H_2~limiting~reactant(smaller~ratio)$

Find volume H₂O

mol H₂O based on mol H₂, and from equation mol ratio H₂ : H₂O=2 : 2, so mol H₂O = 5 mol and the volume also 5 L
