What is the significance of wanting to know what the pH of a solution is?

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.

Which of the following is an example of ionic compound?
spayn [35]

What you are looking for is something from the left side of the periodic table (the metals), combined with something from the right side of the periodic table.

SiCl4 is something from the middle with something on the right. Not the answer.

HCl is a possible answer, but it is not the best one, because Hydrogen can be on both sides. It is not quite as willing to give up its electrons as the answer.

CCl4 has the same problem as A.

The answer is C

Ca is in column 2 just about as far left as you can get.

Cl is in column 17 which is just about as far right as you can get.

(b) A compound X contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen only
Ad libitum [116K]

Explanation:

Let compound X be 100g.

Molar mass of carbon = 12g/mol

Moles of C in compound X = 54.54/12 = 4.54mol.

Molar mass of hydrogen = 1g/mol

Moles of H in compound X = 9.09/1 = 9.09mol.

Molar mass of oxygen = 16g/mol

Moles of O in compound X = 36.37/16 = 2.27mol

Ratio of C:H:O = 4.54:9.09:2.27 = 2:4:1.

Hence, the empirical formula of X is C2H4O.
