Answer:
10
Explanation:
pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions.
Thus,
pH = - log [H⁺]
Thus, from the formula, more the concentration of the hydrogen ions or more the acidic the solution is, the less is the pH value of the solution.
Thus, solution with pH = 3 will be more acidic than solution with pH =4
Thus, concentration of the [H⁺] when pH =3
3 = - log [H⁺]
[H⁺] = 10⁻³ M
For pH = 4, [H⁺] = 10⁻⁴ M
<u>hence, pH = 3 is 10 times more acidic than pH = 4</u>
The metric system is based on powers of 10 so it is much easier to convert units, often just by moving the decimal point.
Thermal energy is defined as the total kinetic energy of all particles in an object. Even though the cup of water has a higher temperature, the bathtub has more thermal energy because it contains much more mass of water compared to the cup.
Explanation:
Some Rules Regarding Oxidation Numbers:
- Hydrogen has oxidation number of + 1 except in hydrides where it is -1
- Oxygen has oxidation number of -2 except in peroxides where it is -1
- Some elements have fixed oxidation numbers. E.g Halogen group elements has oxidation number of -1
- Oxidation number of a compound is the sum total of the individual elements and a neutral compound has oxidation number of 0.
A. HI
Hydrogen has oxidation of + 1
Oxidation number of I:
1 + x = 0
x = -1
B. PBr3
Br has oxidation number of - 1
Oxidation number of Pb:
x + 3 (-1) = 0
x = + 3
C. KH
Hydrogen has oxidation of + 1
Oxidation number of K:
1 + x = 0
x = -1
D. H3PO4
Hydrogen has oxidation number of + 1
Oxygen has oxidation number of -2
Oxidation number of P:
3(1) + x + 4(-2) = 0
3 + x - 8 =0
x = 5
