Which statement best describes the pH of pure water?
2 answers:
The pH of pure water is neutral because the concentration of hydronium ions equals that of hydroxide ions.
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
Water is one of the most important constituents of living being. It is said that there is no life without water. So that water need to neutral in nature to save life. Pure water is composed of hydronium and hydroxide
ions. It is known that hydronium ions are acidic in nature with concentration of
.
Similarly, the hydroxide ions which are basic in nature will be in same concentration as that of hydronium ions. So, as the concentration of basic and acidic elements are equal with the same strength of pH, the combination of these ions lead to formation of pure water with the pH being neutral.

9 grams of hydrogen gas (H2) will SC Johnson need to react in order to make 1 bottle of Windex.
Explanation:
Balance equation for the formation of ammonia from H2 gas.
N2 + 3H2 ⇒ 2
Given
mass of ammonia in 1 bottle of windex = 51 gram
atomic mass of ammonia 17.01 gram/mole
number of moles =
number of moles =
= 3 moles of ammonia is formed.
in 1 bottle of windex there are 3 moles of ammonia 0r 51 grams of ammonia.
From the equation it can be found that:
3 moles of hydrogen reacted to form 2 moles of ammonia
so, x moles of hydrogen will react to form 3 moles of ammonia.
=
x = 4.5 moles of hydrogen will be required.
to convert moles into gram formula used:
mass = atomic mass x number of moles (atomic mass of H2 is 2grams/mole)
= 2 x 4.5
= 9 grams of hydrogen.
The balanced equation is attached in the image below. The coefficients are 2, 2, blank.
