The pH of a solution is a measure of the acidity of a solution and is logarithmically related to the hydrogen ion concentration. It is expressed as:

pH = -log [H+]

We use this to determine the amount of H+ needed to adjust the pH to the desired value.

pH1 = 7.2 = -log [H+]
[H+] = 6.31x10^-8

pH2 = 8.2 = -log [H+]
[H+] = 6.31x10^-9

[H+] to be added =  6.31x10^-8 - 6.31x10^-9 = 5.68x10^-8 M

She should add an acidic solution with concentration 5.68x10^-8 M. Hope this helps.

Given below is the balanced equation for the combustion of decane. 2C10H22 (l) + 31O2 (g) --> 20CO2 (g) + 22H2O (g) What is t
Aleks [24]

Answer: The ratio of carbon dioxide molecules to oxygen molecules is 20 :31

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The balanced combustion reaction is,:

2C_{10}H_{22}(l)+31O_2(g)\rightarrow 20CO_2(g)+22H_2O(g)

Thus the ratio of carbon dioxide molecules to oxygen molecules is 20 : 31

How does a substances temperature change when the average kinetic energy of its particles increases ? When the average kinetic e
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The temperature of a substance when the average kinetic energy of its particles increases and decreases when the average kinetic energy decreases.

Explanation:

Atoms and molecules are in constant motion. Kinetic energy is a form of energy, known as energy of motion. Kinetic energy is a form of energy, known as energy of motion. The kinetic energy of an object is that which is produced due to its movements, which depends on its mass (m) and speed (v).

Temperature refers to a quantity used to measure the kinetic energy of a system. That is, temperature is defined as an indicator of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a body.

So, since temperature is a measure of the speed with which they move, the higher the temperature the faster they move.

Finally, <u><em>the temperature of a substance when the average kinetic energy of its particles increases and decreases when the average kinetic energy decreases.</em></u>

If I only want to make 500 mL of a 1.25% bleach solution, how many milliliters of bleach would I need? Show your work or explain
kiruha [24]

Answer:

  6.25 mL

Explanation:

1.25% of 500 mL is ...

  0.0125×(500 mL) = 6.25 mL

Since 1.25% of the 500 mL of solution is bleach, that's how much you need. That amount is 6.25 mL.
