Answer:
Explanation:
The given pH = 8.55
Unknown:
[H₃O⁺] = ?
[OH⁻] = ?
In order to find these unknowns we must first establish some relationship.
pH = -log[H₃O⁺]
8.55 = -log[H₃O⁺]
[H₃O⁺] = inverse log₁₀(-8.55) = 2.82 x 10⁻⁹moldm⁻³
To find the [OH⁻],
pH + pOH = 14
pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 8.55
pOH = 5.45
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
[OH⁻] = inverse log₁₀ (-5.45) = 3.55 x 10⁻⁶moldm⁻³
The solution is basic because it has more concentration of OH⁻ ions compared to H⁺ ions.
Answer:
Ozone is good in the stratosphere because it absorbs all of the most energetic ultraviolet radiation (UV-C), most of the UV-B radiation and some of the least energetic UV radiation (UV-A). Ozone is “bad” in the troposphere because it is harmful to breathe and is the primary component of smog in summer.
UV exposure that leads to sunburn is proven in developing melanoma, the most dangerous of the three most common types of skin cancer.
After dipping the litmus paper strips in the solutions, the answer to the question is that one is acidic because according to brad's observation on turned red and the others are basic or alkaline with the two papers turning blue.
In a dilute acid solution most if not all of the molecules will split into ions.
For example HCl is a strong acid and 100% of the molecules will split into
H+ & Cl-
in a weak acid solution only a portion of the molecules will turn into ions because the ionization percentage isn't as large. Which will essentially leave a high percentage of un-reacted molecules
