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.

Which of the answer choices correctly describes Le Châtlier's principle?
almond37 [142]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

A. When a reaction is at chemical equilibrium, a change in the system will cause the system to shift in the direction that will balance the change and help the reaction regain chemical equilibrium.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Le Chatelier's principle states that when a change or a "stress" is placed on a system that is at equilibrium, the system will shift in such a way to relieve that change or stress.
  • The stresses include; changing the concentration of reactants or products, altering the temperature in the system and changing the pressure of the system.
  • Therefore; <u><em>when a chemical reaction is at equilibrium and experiences a change in pressure, temperature, or concentration of products or reactants, the equilibrium shifts in the opposite direction to offset the change. </em></u>

I believe doctors use (3) Co-60 to treat ILWs. Uranium and Carbon are not used, and a different isotope of lead is used to be attached to monoclonal antibodies.
