Answer:

It will decrease the pH of the water.

Explanation:

When carbon dioxide gets dissolved in water, it changes its pH.

The pH of water will become acidic.

In dissolved state, carbon dioxide forms carbonic acid with water as shown in the equation.

$H_{2}O+CO_{2}--->H_{2}CO_{3}$

This carbonic acid gets dissociated as shown in equation.

$H_{2}CO_{3}--->2H^{+}+CO_{3}^{-2}$

Due to increase in concentration of hydrogen ion, the pH of water decreases.

Find the [h3o ] in a sauvignon blanc with a ph of 3.24.

KengaRu [80]

Hello!

The H₃O⁺ concentration can be found using the definition of pH and clearing the equation for [H₃O⁺]. The solution has a pH lower than 7, so the Sauvignon Blanc is acid. The calculation for [H₃O⁺] is shown below:

$pH=-log [H_3O^{+}]$

$[H_3O^{+}]= 10^{-pH}=10^{-3,24}=0,00058M$

So, the concentration of H₃O⁺ in a Sauvignon Blanc with a pH of 3,24 is 0,00058 M

Have a nice day!

Suppose the gas resulting from the sublimation of 1.00 g carbon dioxide is collected over water at 25.0◦c into a 1.00 l containe

jeyben [28]

Answer:

0.55 atm

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the number of moles corresponding to 1.00 g of carbon dioxide. This is given by

$n=\frac{m}{M_m}$

where

m = 1.00 g is the mass of the gas

Mm = 44.0 g/mol is the molar mass of the gas

Substituting,

$n=\frac{1.00 g}{44.0 g/mol}=0.0227 mol$

Now we can find the pressure of the gas by using the ideal gas law:

$pV=nRT$

where

p is the gas pressure

V = 1.00 L is the volume

n = 0.0227 mol is the number of moles

R = 0.082 L/(atm K mol) is the gas constant

T = 25.0 C + 273 = 298 K is the temperature of the gas

Solving the formula for p, we find

$p=\frac{nRT}{V}=\frac{(0.0227 mol)(0.082 L/(atm K mol))(298 K)}{1.00 L}=0.55 atm$

Please help with this question

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

215 amu

Explanation:

In the reactants:

There is 1 iron atom, 3 chlorine atoms, 6 hydrogen atoms and 3 oxygen atoms:

Fe: 56 × 1 = 56
Cl: 35 × 3 = 105
H: 1 × 6 = 6
O: 16 × 3 = 48

56 + 105 + 6 + 48 = 215 amu

Hope this helps!

Hi :) , if the density of an object is the same as water , will the object float or sink?

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

it will float if the object is 1g/cm^3(water 's density ) because it is less dense
