Answer:
Explanation:
1)<u><em> Ionization equilibrium equation: given</em></u>
- H₂O(l) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)
2) <em><u>Ionization equilibrium constant, at 25°C, Kw: given</u></em>
<u>3) Stoichiometric mole ratio:</u>
As from the ionization equilibrium equation, as from the fact it is stated, the concentration of both ions, at 25°C, are equal:
- [H₃O⁺(aq)] = [OH⁻(aq)] = 1.0 × 10⁻⁷ M
- ⇒ Kw = [H3O⁺] [OH⁻] = 1.0 × 10⁻⁷ × 1.0 × 10⁻⁷ = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴ M
<u><em>4) A solution has a [OH⁻] = 3.4 × 10⁻⁵ M at 25 °C </em></u><em><u>and you need to calculate what the [H₃O⁺(aq)] is.</u></em>
Since the temperature is 25°, yet the value of Kw is the same, andy you can use these conditions:
Then you can substitute the known values and solve for the unknown:
- 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴ M² = [H₃O⁺] × 3.4 × 10⁻⁵ M
- ⇒ [H₃O⁺] = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴ M² / ( 3.4 × 10⁻⁵ M ) = 2.9⁻¹⁰ M
As you see, the increase in the molar concentration of the ion [OH⁻] has caused the decrease in the molar concentration of the ion [H₃O⁺], to keep the equilibrium law valid.
It is a mixture because the compounds that make up air e.g. oxygen (o2), Carbon dioxide (co2) and the most important Nitrogen which is an element and makes up 78.09% of air are not chemically bound in the way that compounds are because they can be separated easily and there has been no change in state to any of the compounds or elements in air!hope this helpful!
