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.

Consider the data presented below. time (s) 0 40 80 120 160 moles of a 0.100 0.067 0.045 0.030 0.020 part a part complete determ
Whitepunk [10]
To determine which order of the reaction it is, first we need to calculate the rate of change of moles.
the data is as follows 
time         0         40        80       120       160
moles    0.100   0.067  0.045    0.030    0.020


Q1)
for the first 40 s change of moles ;
      = -d[A] / t
      = - (0.067-0.100)/40s
      = 8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
for the next 40 s
      = -(0.045-0.067)/40
      = 5.5 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
the 40 s after that
      = -(0.030-0.045)/40 s 
     = 3.75 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
k - rate constant
and A is the only reactant that affects the rate of the reaction

rate = k [A]ᵇ
8.25 × 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.100 mol]ᵇ ----1
5.5 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.067 mol]ᵇ   -----2
divide the 2nd equation by the 1st equation
1.5 = [1.49]ᵇ
b is almost equal to 1
Therefore this is a first order reaction

Q2)
to find out the rate constant(k), we have to first state the equation for a first order reaction.
rate = k[A]ᵇ
As A is the only reactant thats considered for the rate equation. 
Since this is a first order reaction,
b = 1
therefore the reaction is 
rate = k[A]
substituting the values,
8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.100 mol]
k = 8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s /0.100mol
   = 8.25 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹

Which statement accurately describes how electrical power and voltage are
neonofarm [45]

Answer: B

Explanation:

According to Ohm's Law, the answer is B.

Ohm's Law states that power is equal to volume x current.

If volume x current equals power, that means they are both 50% of power.

Ohm's Law:

power = voltage x current

current = voltage x power

voltage = power x current

I hope this answer helped.
