One definition of an acid is a molecule that can donate a H+ ion. So for example if you have an acid such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) in water, HCl will donate it's H+ to the H2O molecule, forming Cl- and H3O+.
In contrast, a base is a molecule that accepts H+ ions. This means a base such as NH3 reacts with H2O to form OH- and NH4.
So when pH is measured, it is the ratio of H3O+ ions to OH- ions. If there are more H3O+ ions, you then know that there are more acidic molecules in the solution, since they must be giving away their H+ ions.
So a solution with an acid in it will have more H3O+ ions (which can be described as H+ ions) in it. However, an acid by itself will have nothing to donate H+ ions to.
hope this helps also please make me the brainliest
Assuming we have 100 g of sample
30.45/MW of N 14g = 2.175
69.55/MW of O 16g = 4.34
4.34/2.185 = 2
for every 1 mole of N we have 2 moles of O
so the empirical formula would be NO2
without having the molecular weight of the entire molecule the molecular formula can not be determined with the information in your question
Answer:
- <em>The pH of the solution is </em><u><em>7</em></u>
Explanation:
<em>The pH</em> is a measure of the acidity of the solutions. It is defined as the negative logarithm of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺).
<em>The hydrogen ion concentration of this solution is 1 × 10⁻⁷ M.</em>
Hence:
- pH = - log (1 × 10⁻⁷) = - (-7) = 7
This pH corresponds to a neutral solution (neither acid nor alkaline).
You should remember this relation bwtween pH and acidity/alkaliinity:
- Low pH (0.0 or close) corresponds to strong acids
- HIgh pH (14.0 or close) corresponds to strong bases
- Acids have pH between 0.0 and 7.0
- Bases have pH between 7.0 and 14.0
D increase in temperature and increase in pressure.
