Imagine you have a 1.0 mL water sample containing 0.10 M hydrochloric acid, HCl. You want to get it to a safe pH of 6. How much

water do you need to add
Chemistry

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

In this case, HCl is a strong acid, therefore, it dissociates completely in solution.

To know the quantity of water we need to add, we first need to know the concentration of the acid with pH = 6:

[H⁺] = antlog(-pH)

[H⁺] = antlog(-6) = 1x10⁻⁶ M

This means that the concentration is being diluted.

Now, even if we add great quantities of water, and the concentration and volume change, there is one time that do not change despite the quantity of water added; this is the moles. So, all we have to do, is calculate the moles of the acid in the 1 mL of water, and then, the volume of the acid when it's dilluted:

moles HCl = 0.1 * (1/1000) = 1x10⁻⁴ moles

Now that we have the moles, we can calculate the volume which the acid with the lowest concentration has:

V = mol/M

V = 1x10⁻⁴ / 1x10⁻⁶

V = 100 L

This means that we need to add 99.999 mL of water

Why does increasing the temperature make a solid dissolve faster?
Deffense [45]

Answer:

The chemical bonds of the solid are broken faster.

Explanation:

As the temperature of a solution is increased, the average kinetic energy of the molecules that make up the solution also increases. The increased vibration (kinetic energy) of the solute molecules causes them to be less able to hold together, and thus they dissolve more readily.

Could the other molecules in this simulation (argon, oxygen, and water) be considered pure substances? Explain your thinking.
Komok [63]

Answer:

A water molecule consists of three atoms; an oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms, which are bond together like little magnets. The atoms consist of matter that has a nucleus in the centre. The difference between atoms is expressed by atomic numbers. ... There are also uncharged particles in the nucleus, called neutrons.
