Explain the significance of this quote, “Heisenberg may have slept here.”

Umm...Well...

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle says that we can never know both the position and rate of change of a particle at any time. We can only know one or the other. This leads to rather silly jokes that deal with uncertainty, probability, and superposition. So, saying that "Heisenberg may have slept here" is essentially saying that it is uncertain if Heisenberg slept there or not, making for a rather silly, but slightly unfunny physics joke.

What is the pH of a 6.7 x 10^−5 M H+ solution?

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

pH = 4.17

Explanation:

According to the molar concentration you stated, pH of the solution is: 4.17

Remember that pH = - log [H⁺]

and [H⁺] = 10^-pH

When:

pH > 7 → Basic solution

pH = 7 → Neutral solution

pH < 7 → Acid solution

A 1.0 g sample of hydrogen reacts completely with 19.0 g of fluorine to form a compound of hydrogen and fluorine. a. What is the

Rashid [163]

Explanation:tr

a) Molar mass of HF = 20 g/mol

Atomic mass of hydrogen = 1 g/mol

Atomic mass of fluorine = 19 g/mol

Percentage of an element in a compound:

$\frac{\text{Number of atoms of element}\times \text{Atomic mass of element}}{\text{Molar mass of compound }}\times 100$

Percentage of fluorine:

$\frac{1\times 19 g/mol}{20g/mol}\times 100=95\%$

Percentage of hydrogen:

$\frac{1\times 1g/mol}{20 g/mol}\times 100=5\%$

b) Mass of hydrogen in 50 grams of HF sample.

Moles of HF = $\frac{50 g}{20 g/mol}=2.5 mol$

1 mole of HF has 1 mole of hydrogen atom.

Then 2.5 moles of HF will have:

$1\times 2.5 mol=2.5 mol$ of hydrogen atom.

Mass of 2.5 moles of hydrogen atom:

1 g/mol × 2.5 mol = 2.5 g

2.5 grams of hydrogen would be present in a 50 g sample of this compound.

c) As we solved in part (a) that HF molecules has 5% of hydrogen by mass.

Then mass of hydrogen in 50 grams of HF compound we will have :

5% of 50 grams of HF = $\frac{5}{100}\times 50 g=2.5 g$
