What causes some aqueous solutions to have a low PH?

1 answer:

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>

You have come down with a nasty cold and would like to understand why the virus that infected you is making you feel so lousy. W

umka21 [38]

Answer:

a) The volume is 5.236x10⁻¹³L

b) The molarity of a single virus is 1.91x10¹² mol/L

c) The molarity for a 100 virus particles is 1.91x10¹⁴ mol/L

Explanation:

a) Given:

D = diameter of the cell = 10 μm

r = radius = 10/2 = 5 μm

The volume of the spherical cell is equal:

$V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} =\frac{4}{3} \pi *(5)^{3} =523.6\mu m^{3}$

If 1 μm³ = 1x10⁻¹⁵L, then 523.6 μm³ = 5.236x10⁻¹³L

b) The molarity is:

$M=\frac{number-of-moles}{volume-of-solution}$

For a single virus within the cell

$M=\frac{1}{5.236x10^{-13} } =1.91x10^{12} mol/L$

c) For a 100 virus particles the molarity is:

$M=\frac{100}{5.236x10^{-13} } =1.91x10^{14} mol/L$

How does the value of kc in n2o4(g)⇋2no2(g) kc=[no2]2[n2o4] depend on the starting concentrations of no2 and n2o4?

Vlad [161]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The value of Kc does not depend on starting concentrations.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>At constant temperature, changing the equilibrium concentration does not affect the equilibrium constant, because the rate constants are not affected by the concentration changes. </u></em>
When the concentration of one of the participants is changed, the concentration of the others vary in such a way as to maintain a constant value for the equilibrium constant.
