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

Chemistry
1 answer:
balu736 [363]3 years ago
4 0

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.

Question 12 of 25
NISA [10]

Answer:

B. Equal amounts of all gases have the same volume at the same

conditions

Explanation:

Amedo Avogadro found the relationship between volume of a gas and the number of molecules contained in the volume.

The law states that "equal volumes of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contains equal number of molecules or moles".

The law describes the behavior of gases when involve in chemical reactions. It enables one to change over at will in any statement about gases from volumes to molecules and vice versa.

So, the right option is B which implies that equal amounts of all gases have the same volume at the same conditions.

How many grams of oxygen gas (02) are needed to completely react with 9.30 moles
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

223 g O₂

Explanation:

To find the mass of oxygen gas needed, you need to (1) convert moles Al to moles O₂ (via the mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients) and then (2) convert moles O₂ to grams O₂ (via the molar mass). When writing your ratios/conversions, the desired unit should be in the numerator in order to allow for the cancellation of the previous unit. The final answer should have 3 sig figs because the given value (9.30 moles) has 3 sig figs.

4 Al + 3 O₂ ----> 2 Al₂O₃
^         ^

Molar Mass (O₂): 32.0 g/mol

9.3 moles Al          3 moles O₂              32.0 g
-------------------  x  ---------------------  x  --------------------  =  223 g O₂
                              4 moles Al               1 mole

A chemist measures the enthalpy change ?H during the following reaction: Fe (s) + 2HCl (g) ? FeCl2 (s) + H2 (g) =?H?157.kJ Use t
erik [133]

Correct Question:

A chemist measures the enthalpy change ΔH during the following reaction: Fe(s) + 2HCl(g)-->FeCl2(s) + H2 ΔH=-157.0 kJ. Use this information to complete the table below. Round each of your answers to the nearest kJ/mol

Answer:

-314 kJ

+628 kJ

+157 kJ

Explanation:

The enthalpy change of a reaction measures the amount of heat that is lost or gained by it. If ΔH >0 the heat is gained, and the reaction is called endothermic, if ΔH<0, the heat is lost, and the reaction is called exothermic.

If the reaction is inverted, the value of ΔH is inverted too (the opposite endothermic reaction is exothermic), and if the reaction is multiplied by a constant, ΔH will be multiplied by it too.

1) 2Fe(s) + 4HCl --> 2FeCl2(s) + 2H2(g)

This reaction is the product of the given reaction by 2, so

ΔH = 2*(-157) = -314 kJ

2) 4FeCl2(s) + 4H2(g) --> 4Fe(s) + 8HCl(g)

This reaction is the inverted reaction given multiplied by 4, so

ΔH = 4*(157) = +628 kJ

3) FeCl2(s) + H2(g) --> Fe(s) + 2HCl

This reaction is the inverted reaction given, so

ΔH = +157 kJ
