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

=

⋅

[

=

This means that neutral water at this temperature will have

=

As you know, pH and pOH are defined as

pH

=

log

(

[

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.

What is the change in air pressure over a given distance called? wind speed air pressure force factor air pressure gradient​
lubasha [3.4K]

The change in pressure over a given distance is defined as a pressure gradient. The strength of this pressure gradient determines how fast the wind moves from higher pressure toward lower pressure. A stronger pressure gradient will cause stronger winds, as shown in Figure 2. >> Balanced in the vertical by the force of gravity

How many moles of CH4 are in 148.6 g? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

9.29 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles = ?

Mass = 148.6 g

Solution:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass of CH₄ = 16 g/mol

Now we will put the values in formula.

Number of moles = 148.6 g/ 16 g/mol

Number of moles = 9.29 mol

Thus 148.6 g have 9.29 moles.

Would Li CO2 and LiOH produce the same colors? Explain your thinking.
saul85 [17]

Answer:

Lithium hydroxide is a base.

Carbon dioxide is the anhydride of the carbonic acid, H₂CO₃.

Therefore, the reaction awaited is a typical neutralization reaction with the formation of a salt and water.

2LiOH + CO₂ → Li₂CO₃ + H₂O

So, 2*20 = 40 moles of LiOH react with 20 moles of CO₂.

Molar Mass of LiOH = 23.95 g/mol

So, 40 * 23.95 = 958 g
