When converting an acid salt dissolved in water to its acid form, you are instructed to adjust the ph well into the acidic range

(ph ~ 2). why don't you just take the ph to neutral? you do?

First of all, the problem says that you have to convert the acid salt to its acidic form. If you take it to the neutral pH, that won't be acidic at all. As simple as that, you don't take it to neutral pH because it would lose its definition of being acidic afterall.

Which of the following is not a postulate of the kinetic-molecular theory? A. Gas particles have a high force of attraction to o
PolarNik [594]
<span>Following are important postulates of Kinetic theory of gases

1) Gases are made up of number of particles. 
this particles  behaves like hard and spherical objects, which are in constant state of motion.
2)  The particles always travel in a straight line until they collide with another particle or the walls of the container.
3) Particles are of smaller size as compared to the distance between particles.
4) There exist minimal/no force of attraction between the gas particles neither there exist attractive interaction between the particles and the walls of the container.
5) Collisions between gas particles or with the walls of the container are  elastic in nature. 

Thus, statement a i.e. </span><span>Gas particles have a high force of attraction to one another or to the walls of the container contradicts the postulates of kinetic theory of gases</span>

Star_____ has the greatest absolute brightness ​
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Star A would have the greater absolute brightness. This is because absolute brightness finds out the actual brightness of a star at a standard distance from Earth. If Star A is twice as far from Earth as Star B but they still both appear to have the same amount of brightness.

The oxidation of ammonia produces nitrogen and water via the following reaction: 4NH3(g) + 3O2(g) → 2N2(g) + 6H2O(l) Suppose the
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

The rate of consumption of NH_{3} is 2.0 mol/L.s

Explanation:

Applying law of mass action to this reaction-

-\frac{1}{4}\frac{\Delta [NH_{3}]}{\Delta t}=-\frac{1}{3}\frac{\Delta [O_{2}]}{\Delta t}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{\Delta [N_{2}]}{\Delta t}=\frac{1}{6}\frac{\Delta [H_{2}O]}{\Delta t}

where -\frac{\Delta [NH_{3}]}{\Delta t} represents rate of consumption of NH_{3}, -\frac{\Delta [O_{2}]}{\Delta t} represents rate of consumption of O_{2}, \frac{\Delta [N_{2}]}{\Delta t} represents rate of formation of N_{2} and \frac{\Delta [H_{2}O]}{\Delta t} represents rate of formation of H_{2}O.

Here rate of formation of H_{2}O is 3.0 mol/(L.s)

From the above equation we can write-

-\frac{1}{4}\frac{\Delta [NH_{3}]}{\Delta t}=\frac{1}{6}\frac{\Delta [H_{2}O]}{\Delta t}

Here \frac{\Delta [H_{2}O]}{\Delta t}=3.0 mol/(L.s))

So, -\frac{\Delta [NH_{3}]}{\Delta t}=\frac{4}{6}\frac{\Delta [H_{2}O]}{\Delta t}

Hence, -\frac{\Delta [NH_{3}]}{\Delta t}=\frac{4}{6}\times 3.0 mol/(L.s)=2.0 mol/(L.s)

When a 17.7 mL sample of a 0.368 M aqueous hypochlorous acid solution is titrated with a 0.301 M aqueous barium hydroxide soluti
nordsb [41]

Answer:

pH = 12.98

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of aqueous hypochlorous acid solution = 17.7 mL = 0.0177 L

Molarity of aqueous hypochlorous acid solution = 0.368 M

Molarity of aqueous barium hydroxide solution = 0.301 M

Volume of aqueous barium hydroxide solution = 16.2 mL = 0.0162 L

Step 2: The balanced equation

2HCl + Ba(OH)2 → BaCl2 + 2H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles = molarity * volume

Moles HCl = 0368 M * 0.0177 L

Moles HCl = 0.0065136 moles

Moles Ba(OH)2 = 0.301 M * 0.0162 L

Moles Ba(OH)2 = 0.0048762 moles

Step 4: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 2 moles HCl we need 1 mol Ba(OH)2 to produce 1 mol BaCl2 and 2 moles H2O

HCl is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed 0.0065136 moles. Ba(OH)2 is in excess. There will react 0.0065136/2 = 0.0032568‬ moles. There will remain 0.0048762 moles - 0.0032568‬  = 0.0016194 moles

Step 5: Calculate molarity Ba(OH)2

Molarity Ba(OH)2 = moles / volume

Molarity Ba(OH)2 = 0.0016194 moles / 0.0339 L

Molarity Ba(OH)2 = 0.04777 M

Step 6: Calculate [OH-]

Ba(OH)2 → Ba^2+ + 2OH-

For Ba(OH)2 we have 2* [OH-]

[OH-] = 2*0.04777 = 0.09554 M

Step 7: Calculate pOH

pOH = -log[OH-]

pOH = -log(0.09554)

pOH = 1.02

Step 8: Calculate pH

pH = 14 - 1.02

pH = 12.98
