Answer:
pH = 6.999
The solution is acidic.
Explanation:
HBr is a strong acid, a very strong one.
In water, this acid is totally dissociated.
HBr + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + Br⁻
We can think pH, as - log 7.75×10⁻¹² but this is 11.1
acid pH can't never be higher than 7.
We apply the charge balance:
[H⁺] = [Br⁻] + [OH⁻]
All the protons come from the bromide and the OH⁻ that come from water.
We can also think [OH⁻] = Kw / [H⁺] so:
[H⁺] = [Br⁻] + Kw / [H⁺]
Now, our unknown is [H⁺]
[H⁺] = 7.75×10⁻¹² + 1×10⁻¹⁴ / [H⁺]
[H⁺] = (7.75×10⁻¹² [H⁺] + 1×10⁻¹⁴) / [H⁺]
This is quadratic equation: [H⁺]² - 7.75×10⁻¹² [H⁺] - 1×10⁻¹⁴
a = 1 ; b = - 7.75×10⁻¹² ; c = -1×10⁻¹⁴
(-b +- √(b² - 4ac) / (2a)
[H⁺] = 1.000038751×10⁻⁷
- log [H⁺] = pH → 6.999
A very strong acid as HBr, in this case, it is so diluted that its pH is almost neutral.
Answer:
Explanation:
Let the number of half lives be x
<u>Solve this equation to find the value of x:</u>
- 125*(1/2)ˣ = 3.90625
- (0.5)ˣ = 3.90625 / 125
- (0.5)ˣ = 0.03125
- log (0.5)ˣ = log 0.03125
- x = log 0.03125 / log 0.5
- x = 5
Answer:
The molar mass of the unknown gas is 
Explanation:
Let assume that the gas is O2 gas
O2 gas is to effuse through a porous barrier in time t₁ = 4.98 minutes.
Under the same conditions;
the same number of moles of an unknown gas requires time t₂ = 6.34 minutes to effuse through the same barrier.
From Graham's Law of Diffusion;
Graham's Law of Diffusion states that, at a constant temperature and pressure; the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density.
i.e

where K = constant
If we compare the rate o diffusion of two gases;

Since the density of a gas d is proportional to its relative molecular mass M. Then;

Rate is the reciprocal of time ; i.e

Thus; replacing the value of R into the above previous equation;we have:

We can equally say:
