What causes some aqueous solutions to have a low PH?

Chemistry
1 answer:
noname [10]3 years ago
5 0
<span> Low pH means the solution is acidic; if the solution is acidic, that means that there are hydronium ions in solution (H3O+). For example, hydrochloric acid dissolves into H+ ions and Cl- ions, and the H+ ions rreact with water like this:
H+ + H2O --> H3O+

If you want to get mathematical, pH is defined as the negative log of the concentration of hydronium ions.
Thus, if there are a lot of hydronium ions, the solution will have a low, or acidic, pH.  Hope this helps^-^</span>

Dissolved hydrofluoric acid reacts with dissolved sodium hydroxide to form water and aqueous sodium fluoride
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

HF(aq)+NaOH(aq)→NaF(aq)+H2O(l)

Explanation:

Complete question

Dissolved hydrofluoric acid reacts with dissolved sodium hydroxide to form water and aqueous sodium fluoride. What is the net ionic equation

Equilibrium equation between the undissociated acid and the dissociated ions

HF(aq)⇌H+(aq)+F−(aq)

Sodium hydroxide will dissociate aqueous solution to produce sodium cations, Na+, and hydroxide anions, OH−

NaOH(aq)→Na+(aq)+OH−(aq)

Hydroxide anions and the hydrogen cations will neutralize each other to produce water.

H+(aq)+OH−(aq)→H2O(l)

On combining both the equation, we get –  

HF(aq)+Na+(aq)+OH−(aq)→Na+(aq)+F−(aq)+H2O(l)

The Final equation is  

HF(aq)+NaOH(aq)→NaF(aq)+H2O(l)

A chemist has a 3.25-mole sample of potassium (K) to use in an experiment. What is the mass of this sample?
s344n2d4d5 [400]
Hi!
• For this you want to convert moles to grams
• To do this you would simply multiple your moles times the atomic mass of potassium
3.25 x 39.098= 127.0685
• So your answer for this should be about 127.07 depending on how you need to round!
