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.

How does the shape of the periodic table relate to electron configuration?
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The answer is rather simple, if you understand electron configurations: the shape of the periodic table mimics the filling of the subshells with electrons. The shape of the periodic table mimics the filling of the subshells with electrons. ... The next two electrons, for Li and Be, would go into the 2s subshell.

Which mechanisms is most significant in returning the ion concentrations to the resting state?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Active transport by the Na+-K+ pump

Explanation:

Active transport by the Na+-K+ pump

Maintenance (and restoration) of the resting ion concentrations depends on the Na+-K+ pump. Once gated ion channels are closed, the combined action of the pump and ion leakage (particularly that of K+) establishes a resting membrane potential in a typical neuron of around âˆ'70 mV.
