The thing that governs whether a reaction is exothermic is the energy given out / used up to break / form the bonds in the reaction.

<span>When two substances react, the bonds in those substances first break up, releasing energy, before re-forming in a different way, taking in energy. The nature of the bonds that are broken up and reformed determines whether more energy is given out (exothermic) or taken in (endothermic)</span>

What is the pH difference of two samples if the concentration of [H+] ions is 1000-fold less in the second sample?

snow_tiger [21]

The correct answer is a. This is because the pH of a solution is defined as -log10(concentration of H+ ions). An inverse logarithmic scale such as this means that a solution with a lower concentration of H+ ions will have a higher pH than one with a higher concentration. Therefore we know that the pH of the second sample will be higher than the first.

Since the logarithmic scale has the base 10, a change by 1 on the scale is a consequence of multiplication/division of the H+ concentration by a factor of 10. As the scale is inverse, this means that a decrease of concentration by factor 1000 is equivalent to increasing the pH by (1000/10) = 3.

Write balanced reactions for the complete combustion of hydrogen. Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of th

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

A combustion involves the reaction of a fuel with oxygen (O₂). During the reaction of combustion of hydrogen (H₂), H₂ reacts with O₂ to form water (H₂O). The <em>balanced chemical equation</em> is the following:

2 H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2 H₂O(g)

According to the chemical equation, 2 moles of H₂O are obtained from the reaction of 2 moles of H₂ with 1 mol of O₂. All reactants and products are in the gaseous phase.
