A sample of black coffee was measured to have [h3o+] = 7.94 × 10−6. what is true about this solution?
1 answer:
Being given the hydronium (or simply the hydrogen) ion concentration (molarity), one of the easiest properties of the solution to determine is its pH. The pH of a solution indicates the acidity (or basicity) of a given solution. The typical pH range of solutions is from 1 to 14, with 7 being neutral, 1 to 6 being acidic, and 8 to 14 being basic.
To determine the pH of a solution, the negative log (-log) of the hydronium/hydrogen ion concentration (molarity) of the solution is calculated. Thus (assuming that the given hydrogen ion concentration is in molarity (mol/L)),
pH = -log(
) or -log(
pH = -log (<span>7.94 × 10−6 mol/L)
pH = 5.13
Because the pH is less than 7 (within the range 1 to 6), then the black coffee solution is acidic. </span>

When y equals 5, x is 104.3
When y equals 3 then x is 108.3
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>Given expression is:</u></em>
Substitute y = 5 in given expression
5 = 57.15 - 0.5(x)
5 = 57.15 - 0.5x
0.5x = 57.15 - 5
0.5x = 52.15
Divide both sides by 0.5
x = 104.3
Thus when y equals 5, x is 104.3
<h3><u>If y = 3 what is x ?</u></h3>Substitute y = 3 in given expression
3 = 57.15 - 0.5(x)
3 = 57.15 - 0.5x
0.5x = 57.15 - 3
0.5x = 54.15
Divide both sides by 0.5
x = 108.3
Thus when y equals 3 then x is 108.3
