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>

Why do substances with weak intermolecular forces form solids at low melting points?
Advocard [28]
To make any substance solid, molecules must come very close to each other. Substances with weak intermolecular forces have weak bonding. Hence to make their molecules come close to each other, we must provide low temperature.

What is the study of acid-base chemistry called in the environment
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

An acid is a substance that donates protons (in the Brønsted-Lowry definition) or accepts a pair of valence electrons to form a bond (in the Lewis definition). A base is a substance that can accept protons or donate a pair of valence electrons to form a bond. Bases can be thought of as the chemical opposite of acids.

Consider a situation in which 211 g
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

3.00 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of P₄ = 211 g

Mass of oxygen = 240 g

Moles of P₂O₅ = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

P₄ + 5O₂       →     2P₂O₅

Number of moles of P₄:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 211 g / 123.88 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.7 mol

Number of moles of O₂ :

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 240 g / 32g/mol

Number of moles = 7.5 mol

Now we will compare the moles of product with reactant.

                       O₂         :         P₂O₅

                        5          :           2

                        7.5       :        2/5×7.5 = 3.00

                       P₄          :         P₂O₅

                        1           :           2

                       1.7         :       2×1.7 = 3.4 mol

Oxygen is limiting reactant so the number of moles of P₂O₅ are 3.00 mol.

Mass of P₂O₅:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 3 mol ×283.9 g/mol

Mass = 852 g

What kind of pattern can you see about elements in the same period with respect to electron
Fantom [35]

Answer: A pattern of same atomic orbitals can be seen about elements in the same period with respect to electron structures.

Explanation:

The horizontal rows in a period table are called periods.

Elements present in the same period will have same atomic orbitals.

For example, electronic distribution of Na is 2, 8, 1 and it is a third period element.

Similarly, electronic distribution of Cl is 2, 8, 7 and it is also a third period element.

Hence, both Na and Cl will have K, L, M shells, that is, they have three atomic orbitals.

Thus, we can conclude that a pattern of same atomic orbitals can be seen about elements in the same period with respect to electron structures.
