On the pH scale, a 7 indicates _____. a base an acid neutrality

Chemistry
1 answer:
worty [1.4K]3 years ago
3 0

The correct answer is:

neutrality

on the pH scale 7 is neutral above 7 is basic and below 7 is acidic.

Explanation:

The pH is an example of how acidic/basic water is. The scale goes from 0 - 14, with 7 being neutral, pH of less than 7 designates acidity, whereas a pH of greater than 7 intimates a base. pH is really a pattern of the relative amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in the water.pH is a measure of how acidic/basic water is.

It is neutral because, at this pH, the molar concentrations of Hydroxide and Hydronium are same, therefore the substance is not a base nor an acid.

Which reaction has the highest atom economy for the production of C02?​
In-s [12.5K]

The highest atom economy

2CO + O₂ ⇒ 2CO₂

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The reaction for the production of CO₂

Required

The highest atom economy

Solution

In reactions, there are sometimes unwanted products that can be said to be a by-product or a waste product. Meanwhile, the desired product can be said to be a useful product, which can be shown as the atom economy

of the reaction

the higher the atomic economy value of a reaction, the smaller the waste/ byproducts produced, so that less energy is wasted

The general formula:

Atom economy = (mass of useful product : mass of all reactants/products) x 100

<em>or </em>

Atom economy = (total formula masses of useful product : total formula masses of all reactants/products) x 100

So a reaction that only produces one product will have the highest atomic value, namely the reaction in option C

C3H8 + 5 O2 → 3 CO2 + 4 H2O<br> What is the number of atoms on each side of the equation?
Roman55 [17]

Answer: 1.2642*10²⁵ on both sides

Explanation:

First check how many moles are there on each side.
Since this is a balanaced equataion the number of moles on each side is the same thus the number of atoms is also same on both sides

There are 3 moles of carbon and 8 moles of hydrogen in C3H8
and 2 moles of oxygen in O2 but there 5 infront so 2*5 is 10
Number of moles on the right is 10+8+3 = 21

Now use Avogrado's constant

21 Moles* (6.02*10²³)/Mol
= 21*6.02*10²³

= 1.2642*10²⁵

Which of the following pairs of elements is most likely to form an ionic compound?1.Nitrogen and sulfur? OR 2. Magnesium and Flu
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

  • <u><em>Magnesium and fluorine.</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>Ionic compounds</em> are formed by the electrostatic attraction of cations and anions.

Cations, positive ions, are formed when atoms lose electrons, and anions, negative ions, are formed when atoms gain electrons.

When two different atoms have similar atraction for electrons (electronegativity) they will not donate to nor catch electrons from each other, so cations and anions will not be formed. Instead, the atoms would prefer to share electrons forming covalent bonds to complete their outermost shell (octet rule).

Then, in order to form ionic compounds the electronegativities have to substantially different. This situation does not happen between two nonmetal elements, which nitrogen and sulfur are. Then, you can predict safely that nitrogen and sulfur will not form an ionic compound.

Ionic compounds, then require the electronegativity difference that exist between some metals and nonmetals. Being magnesium an alkaline earth metal, its electronegativity is very low. On the other hand, fluorine the first element of the group 17, has the highest electronegativity of all the elements.Thus magnesium and fluorine will have enough electronegativity difference to justify the exchange of electrons, forming ions and, consequently, ionic compounds.
