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 $H^{+}$ and hydroxide $\left(O H^{-}\right)$ ions. It is known that hydronium ions are acidic in nature with concentration of $1 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{M} / \mathrm{L}$ .

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.

Answer:

They all have about the same vapor pressure.

Explanation:

The elevation of the vapor pressure is related to the elevation of the boiling point: for higher vapor pressure, the liquid will boils at a low temperature.

When a nonvolatile compound is added to the liquid, the boiling temperature increases, in an effect called ebullioscopy, and that difference of temperature can be calculated by:

ΔT = K*W*i

Where K is a constant for the liquid, W is the molality, and i is the van't Hoff factor, which depends on the dissociation of the compound.

i = dissociated particles/total particles

For the molecules compounds given, the ideal van't Hoff factor is 1.

The molality can be calculated by:

W = n1/m2

Where n1 is the number of moles of the solute and m2 is the mass of the solvent. In this case, all the solutes have the same number of moles for the same volume of the solution because they have the same concentration, so the change in temperature is the same for all of them.

Then, they all have about the same vapor pressure.
