Answer:

11.4

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Concentration of the base (Cb): 0.300 M
  • Basic dissociation constant (Kb): 1.8 × 10⁻⁵

Step 2: Write the dissociation equation

NH₃(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of OH⁻

We will use the following expression.

[OH^{-} ]=\sqrt{Kb \times Cb } = \sqrt{1.8  \times 10^{-5} \times 0.300 } = 2.3 \times 10^{-3} M

Step 4: Calculate the pOH

We will use the following expression.

pOH =-log[OH^{-} ]= -log(2.3 \times 10^{-3} M) = 2.6

Step 5: Calculate the pH

We will use the following expression.

pH+pOH=14\\pH = 14-pOH = 14-2.6 = 11.4

Which of the following are acids by the Bronsted-Lowry Definition:
olga55 [171]

ANSWER IS (A)

EXPLANATION:

Bronsted-Lowry concept states that a substance is an acid if it can act as a H+ donor.

HCl in aqueous solution means that HCl is present in water, HCl + H2O --> H3O+ + Cl-.  This reaction will take place, the H+ from HCl will be donated to H2O. So, HCl is a bronsted-lowry acid by definition.


However, Methanol (CH3OH) its written that it is liquid, i.e. pure methanol, CH3OH(l).  It is both acidic as well as basic. when it is mixed with water then it behaves as an acid.

The last one ammonia in gas phase is also neutral because its not in water. if mixed in water it behaves as a base.

2. Metals react with water and release hydrogen gas. Explain why non-metals do not release hydrogen gas when reacted with water.
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Its because non-metals are unable to break the bond between the H and O ion and cannot reduce hydrogen by donating electrons

Answer:

A. Electrolyte

Explanation:

Concentrated sulfuric acid has a density of 1.84 g/millimeter. When you dilute this with water to 5.20 M, you then have a density of 1.30 g/millimeter, which then can be used as a lead storage for batteries in automobiles. (Got help to answer this at Www.wyzant.com
