Answer:

The correct answer is option :10.7

Explanation:

The pOH of the solution is the negative logarithm of hydroxide ions in a solution.

pOH=-\loh[OH^-]

pOH=-\log[4.60\times 10^{-4}M]=3.33

pH+pOh=14

pH=14-pOH=14-3.33=10.67\approx 10.7

The correct answer is option :10.7

Answer:

pH

=

10.66

Explanation:

For pure water at  

25

∘

C

, the concentration of hydronium ions,  

H

3

O

+

, is equal to the concentration of hydroxide ions,  

OH

−

.

More specifically, water undergoes a self-ionization reaction that results in the formation of equal concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide anions.

At room temperature, the self-ionization constant of water is equal to

K

W

=

[

O

⋅

[

=

This means that neutral water at this temperature will have

[

O

[

=

As you know, pH and pOH are defined as

pH

=

−

log

(

[

H

O

+

]

)

pOH

=

−

log

(

[

OH

−

)

and have the following relationship

pH

+

pOH

=

14

In your case, the concentration of hydroxide ions is bigger than  

10

−

7

M

, which tells you that you're dealing with a basic solution and that you can expect the pH of the water to be higher than  

7

.

A pH equal to  

7

is characteristic of a neutral aqueous solution at room temperature.

So, you can use the given concentration of hydroxide ions to determine the pOH of the solution first

pOH

=

−

log

(

4.62

⋅

10

−

4

)

=

3.34

This means that the solution's pH will be

pH

=

14

−

pOH

pH

=

14

−

3.34

=

10.66

Indeed, the pH is higher than  

7

, which confirms that you're dealing with a basic solution.

How did the surface area of the metal strip expose to the solution affect the
frez [133]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

In an electrochemical cell, electricity is obtained by the gradual deterioration of the anode.

Hence, surface area of the metal will affect the length of time within which the electrochemical cell works.

The greater the surface area of the metal, the longer the electrochemical cell can function and the greater the quantity of electricity produced, hence the answer above.

What is the ground state electron configuration for B3+ ?
Arisa [49]

The ground state electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus of an atom with lower energy levels. The electrons occupying the orbitals of varying energy levels naturally falls towards the lowest energy state or ground state.

4 NH3(g) + 5O2(g) → 4NO(g) + 6H2O(g)
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

0.9 moles of water

Explanation:

Use mole ratios:

5 : 6

divide by 5 on both sides

1 : 1.2

multiply by 0.75 on both sides

0.75 : 0.9

So the result is 0.9 moles of water
