Which statement best describes the pH of pure water?

Chemistry

Ray Of Light [21]3 years ago

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.

Calculate the approximate enthalpy change, δhrxn, for the combustion of one mole of methane a shown in the balanced chemical equ
Elena L [17]
To solve for the enthalpy of reaction, we apply the Hess's Law.

ΔHrxn = ∑(ν×Hf of products) - ∑(ν×Hf of reactants)
where
v is the stoichiometric coefficient determined from the balanced reaction
Hf is the standard heat of formation; these are empirical values:
*For CH₄: Hf = <span>−74.87 kJ/mol
*For O</span>₂: Hf = 0
*For CO₂: <span>-393.5 kJ/mol 
*For H</span>₂O: <span>-241.82 kJ/mol

</span>ΔHrxn = [(2*-241.82 kJ/mol)+(1*-393.5 kJ/mol)] - [(1*−74.87 kJ/mol)+(2*0 kJ/mol)] =<em> -802.27 kJ/mol</em>

Activation energy of a reaction: is an alternative term for the free energy of activation. is decreased in the presence of an en
Fynjy0 [20]

Explanation:

Activation energy, in chemistry, is the minimum amount of energy that is required to activate atoms or molecules to a condition in which they can undergo chemical transformation or physical transport. Basically, activation energy is that push that atoms need in order to undergo reactions.

All chemical reactions, including exothermic reactions, need activation energy to get started. Activation energy is needed so reactants can move together, overcome forces of repulsion, and start breaking bonds.

A catalyst lowers the activation energy of a reaction, so that a chemical reaction can take place. Increasing the temperature of a reaction has the effect of increasing the number of reactant particles that have more energy than the activation energy. Enzymes are a form of catalysts that speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy.

The correct options are therefore;

- is decreased in the presence of an enzyme specific for that reaction.

- is the amount of free energy required to bring the reactants to the transition state.

- is an alternative term for the free energy of activation.
