Chemistry

pH is an important parameter for many reactions to take place in solution and in biological systems. It is related to the concentration of H⁺ ions through the following expression:

pH = 1/[H⁺] = -log [H⁺]

Wanting to know the pH of a solution is equivalent to knowing the amount of hydrogen ions present. But the pH scale is more convenient than the concentration scale because pH usually takes values between 0 and 14.

  • When pH < 7 the solution is acid.
  • When pH = 7 the solution is neutral (like pure water).
  • When pH > 7 the solution is basic.

Why can’t an atom lose or gain a proton
Veronika [31]

Explanation:

Atoms never gain protons; they become positively charge only by losing electrons. A positive ion is called a cation (pronounced: CAT-eye-on). You may have notice that the number of neutrons in each of these ions was not specified.

The volume, in liters, occupied by 2.50 moles of N2 gas.<br><br><br> calculate at STP
kondaur [170]

Answer: The volume occupied by 2.50 moles of N_2 gas at STP is 56.0L

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

P = pressure of gas = 1 atm (at STP)

V = Volume of gas = ?

n = number of moles = 2.50

R = gas constant =0.0821Latm/Kmol

T =temperature =273K  (at STP)

V=\frac{nRT}{P}

V=\frac{2.50mol\times 0.0821Latm/K mol\times 273K}{1atm}=56.0L

Thus the volume occupied by 2.50 moles of N_2 gas at STP is 56.0L
