Given pH = 8.55 Find: [H3O+] and [OH-] Is this acidic, basic or neutral?

Chemistry

Answer:

Explanation:

The given pH = 8.55

Unknown:

[H₃O⁺] = ?

[OH⁻] = ?

In order to find these unknowns we must first establish some relationship.

                      pH = -log[H₃O⁺]

                   8.55 = -log[H₃O⁺]

                    [H₃O⁺] = inverse log₁₀(-8.55) = 2.82 x 10⁻⁹moldm⁻³

To find the [OH⁻],

                     pH + pOH = 14

                               pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 8.55

                                pOH = 5.45

              pOH = -log[OH⁻]

               [OH⁻] = inverse log₁₀ (-5.45) = 3.55 x 10⁻⁶moldm⁻³

The solution is basic because it has more concentration of OH⁻ ions compared to H⁺ ions.

gulaghasi [49]

Answer: 1. Cu(s)+4HNO_3(aq)rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NO_2(g)+2H_2O(l) : oxidation reduction

2. Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NaOH(aq)\rightarrow Cu(OH)_2(s)+2NaNO_3(aq) : precipitation

3. CuO(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow CuCl_2(aq)+H_2O(l) : Double displacement

Explanation:

Oxidation-reduction reaction or redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

Cu(s)+4HNO_3(aq)rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)

Double displacement reaction is defined as the reaction where exchange of ions takes place. Double displacement reaction in which one of the product remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas. Such double displacement reaction are called as precipitation reaction.

Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NaOH(aq)\rightarrow Cu(OH)_2(s)+2NaNO_3(aq)

Double displacement reaction is defined as the reaction where exchange of ions takes place.

CuO(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow CuCl_2(aq)+H_2O(l)

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction where more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction.

Decomposition reaction is defined as the reaction where a single substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances.

Synthesis/Combination reaction is defined as the reaction where substances combine in their elemental state to form a single compound.

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: Butane will effuse more quickly because it has a smaller molar mass

Explanation:

Molar mass of C4H10 = 58.123 g/mole

Molar mass of I2 = 253.808 g/mole

which idea did john dalton include in his atomic theory? a. all atoms are the same size. b. atoms of the same element are identi
lapo4ka [179]
It might be c, because he came up with the plum pudding model.  or it might be that atoms of the same element are identical, but that's not true cuz ions are different and isotopes are different.
