Is it possible to change the strength of an acid? Explain how you would do this.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Verdich [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Reducing or increasing the amount of H+ ions / hydronium (H3O+) ions

Explanation:

To reduce the pH (reducing the strength of the acid) can be done by adding a base (including a conjugate base such as bicarbonate ion) which will absorb the H+ ions either through adsorption or reaction.

Adding more H+ decreases the pH of the acid making it stronger. This can be done by adding HCL that will dissociate and increase the H+ ions.

Assume you find four bottles in an empty laboratory, each containing a liquid. The labels that were on these bottles have fallen
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

No, I can not identify the contents of each bottle using solubility and polarity (with H2O) information

Explanation:

While it is true that polar substances dissolve in water and nonpolar substances do not dissolve in water, the task here is to specifically identify the contents of each of the bottles.

Solubility in water can not tell us exactly what liquid is which substance. For instance, trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, cis-1,2-dichloroethylene and cyclooctane are all insoluble in water. The fact that they do not dissolve in water does not tell us which liquid is which compound.

Even though acetic acid is miscible with water, it is not a conclusive prove that the liquid is acetic acid since other polar organic compounds are also miscible in water.

It is only by determining the boiling point of each substance that I can conclusively identify the contents of each bottle since boiling point is an intrinsic property of substances.

For this discussion, respond to the following... An electron falls through a distance d in a uniform electric field of magnitude
mars1129 [50]

The electron should experience a greater acceleration due to it's significantly smaller mass and should fall through distance "d" in a shorter amount of time.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The electron force can be expressed as F=qE. According to Newton's second law of motion force can be expressed as F=ma. This can be written as a=F/m. Substituting electric force expression for "F" in this equation, we get a=qE/m. This means acceleration is conversely proportional to mass and directly to electric field and charge. This means that proton having significantly larger mass than electron should experience smaller amount of acceleration and would take longer to fall at distance "d".

On the other hand, the electron would experience greater acceleration due to it's significantly smaller mass and would fall faster at distance "d", unlike the situation of proton.

The rate constant for a certain reaction is k = 4.70×10−3 s−1 . If the initial reactant concentration was 0.700 M, what will the
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Therefore the concentration of the reactant after 4.00 minutes will be 0.686M.

Explanation:

The unit of k is s⁻¹.

The order of the reaction = first order.

First order reaction: A first order reaction is  a reaction in which the rate of reaction depends only the value of the concentration of the reactant.

-\frac{d[A]}{dt} =kt

[A] = the concentration of the reactant at time t

k= rate constant

t= time

Here k= 4.70×10⁻³ s⁻¹

t= 4.00

[A₀] = initial concentration of reactant = 0.700 M

-\frac{d[A]}{dt} =kt

\Rightarrow -\frac{d[A]}{[A]}=kdt

Integrating both sides

\Rightarrow\int -\frac{d[A]}{[A]}=\int kdt

⇒ -ln[A] = kt +c

When t=0 , [A] =[A₀]

-ln[A₀]  = k.0 + c

⇒c= -ln[A₀]  

Therefore

-ln[A] = kt - ln[A₀]

Putting the value of k, [A₀] and t

- ln[A] =4.70×10⁻³×4 -ln (0.70)

⇒-ln[A]=  0.375

⇒[A] = 0.686

Therefore the concentration of the reactant after 4.00 minutes will be 0.686M.
