Answer:
The common hippopotamus, or hippo, is a large, mostly herbivorous, semiaquatic mammal and ungulate native to sub-Saharan Africa. It is one of only two extant species in the family Hippopotamidae, the other being the pygmy hippopotamus. The name comes from the ancient Greek for "river horse".
HBr and HF are both monoprotic Arrhenius acids—that is, in aqueous solution, they dissociate and ionize to give hydrogen ions. A strong acid ionizes completely; a weak acid ionizes partially.
In this case, HBr, being a strong acid, would ionize completely in water to yield H+ and Br- ions. However, HF, being a weak acid, would ionize only to a limited extent: some of the HF molecules will ionize into H+ and F- ions, but most of the HF will remain undissociated.
pH is, by definition, a measurement of the concentration of hydrogen ions in solution (pH = -log[H+]). A higher concentration of hydrogen ions gives a lower pH, while a lower concentration of hydrogen ions gives a higher pH. At 25 °C, a pH of 7 indicates a neutral solution; a pH less than 7 indicates an acidic solution; and a pH greater than 7 indicates a basic solution.
If we have equal concentrations of HBr and HF, then the HBr solution will have a greater concentration of hydrogen ions in solution than the HF solution. Consequently, the pH of the HBr solution will be less than the pH of the HF solution.
Choice A is incorrect: Strong acids like HBr dissociate completely, not partially.
Choice B is incorrect: While the initial concentration of HBr and HF are the same, the H+ concentration in the HBr solution is greater. Since pH is a function of H+ concentration, the pH of the two solutions cannot be the same.
Choice C is correct: A greater H+ concentration gives a lower pH value. The HBr solution has the greater H+ concentration. Thus, the pH of the HBr solution would be less than that of the HF solution.
Choice D is incorrect for the reason why choice C is correct.
Answer:
NaCl + AgF → NaF + AgCl
Explanation:
A double replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction that occurs when two reactants exchange cations or anions to yield two new products.
From all the reactions given ,
- 2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl is an example of combination reaction because two or more reactants (Na & Cl₂) react with each other to form a single product (NaCl)
- H₂SO₃ → H₂O + SO₂ is an example of decomposition reaction because a single reactant (H₂SO₃) breaks down into two or more products (H₂O & SO₂).
- 2K + 2H₂O → 2KOH + H₂ is an example of displacement reaction because a highly reactive element (K) displaces a least reactive element (H) from its compound (H₂O).
- NaCl + AgF → NaF + AgCl is an example of double replacement reaction because there's an exchange between Cations (
& 
) and Anions (
& 
).
A strong acid- strong base titration is performed using a phenolphthalein indicator. Phenolphtalein is chosen because it changes color in a pH range between 8.3 – 10. It will appear pink in basic solutions and clear in acidic solutions. ... It is known as the titrant.
