The question is incomplete.

The complete question probably is

The pH scale for acidity is defined by pH = − log₁₀[H⁺] where [H⁺] is the concentration of hydrogen ions measured in moles per liter (M). A solution has a pH of 2.55. Find the hydrogen ion concentration.

Answer: -

0.003 M

Explanation: -

pH = − log₁₀[H⁺]

Thus the hydrogen ion concentration [H⁺] = 10^{-pH}

= 10^{-2.55}

= 0.003 M

How is it that when a salt sample dissolves in water, the delta S for the process is positive?
Bess [88]

Answer:-

Water is highly ordered. In water each oxygen atom is connected to others around it through hydrogen bonding via bridging hydrogen atoms. When a salt like NaCl is dissolved, some of these Hydrogen bonds break.

When a salt like NaCl dissolves in water, the NaCl breaks in to ions Na+ and Cl-.

The water molecules now surround these ions.

The slightly negative oxygen end of water molecule gets near the Na+, while the slightly positive Hydrogen of water molecule gets near the Cl-.

So before salt sample dissolve, the water molecules were highly ordered due to hydrogen bonding. Now after salt dissolve there is a decrease in order and thus an increase in disorder of the water molecules.

Due to increase in disorder, entropy which is a measure of disorder increases. Since entropy increases, delta S for the process is positive.

One disadvantage of burning propane (C3H8) is that carbon dioxide is one of the products. The released CO2 increases the growing
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

80 MOLES OF WATER ARE PRODUCED WHEN 20 MOLES OF PROPANE ARE BURNED IN EXCESS OXYGEN ON A GAS GRILL.

Explanation:

Equation for the reaction:

C3H8 + 5 O2 --------->  4 H2O + 3 CO2 + Heat

The above equation is in the presence of excess oxygen.

In this reaction,

1 mole of propane forms 4 moles of H2O

If 20 moles of propane were to be used, how many moles of water will be produced?

1 mole of propane = 4 moles of water

20 moles of propane = ( 4 * 20 ) moles of water

= 80 moles of water.

So, if 20 moles of propane were burned in excess oxygen, 80 moles of water will be formed. Propane is heavier than air and when properly combusted produces a large amount of heat. It is also non toxic.

If 40.0 g of HCl react with an excess of magnesium metal, what is the theoretical yield of hydrogen?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

<span>1.    </span>The balanced reaction is:<span>

Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) --> MgCl 2 (aq) + H 2 (g) 

We are given the amount hydrochloric acid to be used for the reaction. This will be the starting point of the calculation.

40.0 g HCl ( 1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl) (1 mol H2 / 2 mol HCl) (2.02 g H2 / 1 mol H2) = 1.11 g H2</span>
