Answer: Sodium sulfate and Ammonium sulfate could not be used for this purpose.

Explanation:

An acidic solution will show a pH in the range of 0 - 6.9. A basic solution show a pH in the range of 7.1 - 14. A neutral solution will show a pH of 7.

A salt is acidic, when it is formed from the combination of strong acid and weak base. A salt is basic, when it is formed from the combination of weak acid and strong base. A salt is neutral, when it is formed from the combination of weak acid and weak base or strong acid and strong base.

a. Sodium carbonate : is formed by the combination of strong base NaOH and a weak acid H_2CO_3[, thus forms a basic solution.

Na_2CO_3\rightarrow 2Na^++CO_3^{2-}

b. Sodium sulfate:  is formed by the combination of strong base NaOH and a strong acid H_2SO_4[, thus forms a neutral solution.

Na_2SO_4\rightarrow 2Na^++SO_4^{2-}

c. Ammonium sulfate:  is formed by the combination of weak base NH_4OH and a strong acid H_2SO_4[, thus forms a acidic solution.

(NH_4)_2SO_4\rightarrow 2NH_4^++SO_4^{2-}

d. Sodium phosphate:  is formed by the combination of strong base NaOH and a weak acid H_3PO_4[, thus forms a basic solution.

Na_3PO_4\rightarrow 3Na^++PO_4^{3-}

An excess of mg(s) is added to 100.ml of 0.400 m hcl. at 0c and 1 atm pressure, what volume of h 2 (g) can be obtained?
ra1l [238]
The balanced equation for the reaction between Mg and HCl is as follows
Mg + 2HCl --> MgCl₂ + H₂
stoichiometry of HCl to H₂ is 2:1

number of HCl moles reacted - 0.400 mol/L x 0.100 L = 0.04 mol of HCl
since Mg is in excess HCl is the limiting reactant 
number of H₂ moles formed - 0.04/2 = 0.02 mol of H₂

we can use ideal gas law equation to find the volume of H₂
PV = nRT 
where 
P - pressure - 1 atm x 101 325 Pa/atm = 101 325 Pa
V - volume
n - number of moles - 0.02 mol
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - temperature in Kelvin - 0 °C + 273 = 273 K
substituting these values in the equation 

101 325 Pa x V = 0.02 mol x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 273 K
V = 448 x 10⁻⁶ m³
V = 448 mL 
therefore answer is 
c. 448 mL

1. A solution with a pH of 9 has a pOH of
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

strength = 10⁻²/10⁻³ = 10 times more acidic

Explanation:

1. A solution with a pH of 9 has a pOH of

pH + pOH = 14 => pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 9 = 5

2. Which is more acidic, a solution with a pH of 6 or a pH of 4?

pH of 4 => Higher [H⁺] = 10⁻⁴M vs pH of 6 => [H⁺] = 10⁻⁶M

3. How many times more acidic is a solution with a pH of 2 than a solution with a pH of 3?

soln with pH = 2 => [H⁺] = 10⁻²M

soln with pH = 3 => [H⁺] = 10⁻³M

strength = 10⁻²/10⁻³ = 10 times more acidic

4. What is the hydrogen ion concentration [H + ] in a solution that has a pH of 8?

[H⁺] = 10^-pH = 10⁻⁸M

5. A solution has a pOH of 9.6. What is the pH? (Use the formula.)

pH + pOH = 14 => pH = 14 - 9.6 = 4.4
