The formula for Kw is:  

Kw = [H+] [OH-]  


For water, [H+] = [OH-]  

Therefore we can write  

Kw = [H+]²


For the temperature (40C) given,  

Kw = 2.92 x 10^-14  

[H+]² = 2.92 x 10^-14  

[H+] = √(2.92 x 10^-14)  

[H+] = 1.71 x 10^-7  


To determine the pH :  

pH = -log [H+]  

pH = -log (1.71 x 10^-7)  

pH = 6.76

Answer is: the hydronium ion concentratio is 1.71×10⁻⁷ mol/dm³ and pH<6.76.

The Kw (the ionization constant of water) at 40°C is 2.94×10⁻¹⁴ mol²/dm⁶ or 2.94×10⁻¹⁴ M².

Kw = [H₃O⁺] · [OH⁻].

[H₃O⁺] = [OH⁻] = x.

Kw = x².

x = √Kw.

x = √2.94×10⁻¹⁴ M².

x = [H₃O⁺] = 1.71×10⁻⁷ M; concentration of hydronium ion.

pH = -log[H₃O⁺].

pH = -log(1.71×10⁻⁷ M).

pH = 6.76.

pH (potential of hydrogen) is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity an aqueous solution.

Describe the relationship between temperature and particle movement
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

If matter is heated and thus its temperature rises more and more, it can be seen that the particles contained in it move ever faster – be it the relatively free movement of the particles in gases or the oscillation around a rest position in solids. The temperature of a substance can therefore be regarded as a measure of the velocity of the particles it contains. With a higher temperature and thus higher particle

What feature must a molecule or ion have in order to act as a Lewis base? A Lewis acid? Explain the roles of these features.
Dennis_Churaev [7]

What is a Lewis acid-base reaction?

In the Lewis theory of acid-base reactions, bases donate pairs of electrons and acids accept pairs of electrons.

A Lewis acid is therefore any substance, such as the H+ ion, that can accept a pair of nonbonding electrons. In other words, a Lewis acid is an electron-pair acceptor.

A Lewis base is any substance, such as the OH- ion, that can donate a pair of nonbonding electrons. A Lewis base is therefore an electron-pair donor.

The Lewis theory suggests that acids react with bases to share a pair of electrons, with no change in the oxidation numbers of any atoms.
