The pH of a neutral aqueous solution at 37°C is 6.8.
<h3>What is Kw? </h3>
Kw is defined as the dissociation, which is also known as self-ionization, constant of water. this is an equilibrium constant, and its expression is:
Kw = [OH⁻] . [H₃O⁺]
Neutral pH determines that the concentrations of OH⁻ and H₃O⁺ are equal.
<h3>Calculation</h3>
Let us suppose concentration of OH and H₃O⁺ is x, to calculate it:
Kw =[OH⁻] . [H₃O⁺] = x²
x² = 2.4 × 10⁻¹⁴ M²
x = 1.5919 × 10⁻⁷ M
Hence, the concentration of OH and H₃O⁺ (x) = [H₃O⁺] = [OH⁻] = 1.5919×10⁻⁷ M
pH = -log[H₃O⁺] = -log( 1.5919×10⁻⁷ M)
pH = 6.8
Thus, we find that the pH of a neutral aqueous solution at 37 °c (which is the normal human body temperature) is 6.8.

Molar solubility<span> is the number of moles of a substance (the solute) that can be dissolved per liter of solution before the solution becomes saturated. We calculate as follows:
</span>3Cu2+ + 2(AsO4)3-<span> = Cu3(AsO4)2
</span>
7.6 x 10^-36 = (3x^3)(2x^2)
x = 6.62 x 10^-8 M
In a endothermic reaction energy from an outside source is continuously being added.
Answer:
Option 3. The catalyst does not affect the enthalpy change (
) of a reaction.
Explanation:
As its name suggests, the enthalpy change of a reaction () is the difference between the enthalpy of the products and the reactants.
On the other hand, a catalyst speeds up a reaction because it provides an alternative reaction pathway from the reactants to the products.
In effect, a catalyst reduces the activation energy of the reaction in both directions. The reactants and products of the reaction won't change. As a result, the difference in their enthalpies won't change, either. That's the same as saying that the enthalpy change of the reaction would stay the same.
Refer to an energy profile diagram. Enthalpy change of the reaction measures the difference between the two horizontal sections. Indeed, the catalyst lowered the height of the peak. However, that did not change the height of each horizontal section or the difference between them. Hence, the enthalpy change of the reaction stayed the same.
