Which change in the h+ ion concentration of an aqueous solution represents a decrease of one unit on the ph scale?

1 answer:

6 0

The answer would be a tenfold increase
The pH scale is calculated based on the concentration of H+ ion in the solution. The formula is using log10, so to decrease 1 unit from the scale it will be 10^1= 10 fold of increase. For 2 unit, you will need 10^2= 100 fold of increase.

A mixture of gases with a pressure of 800.0 mm hg contains 60% nitrogen and 40% oxygen by volume. what is the partial pressure o

klasskru [66]

Hello!

We have the following statement data:

Data:
$P_{Total} = 800 mmHg$
$P\% N_{2} = 60\%$
$P\% O_{2} = 40\%$
$P_{partial} = ? (mmHg)$

As the percentage is the mole fraction multiplied by 100:

 $P = X_{ O_{2} }*100$

The mole fraction will be the percentage divided by 100, thus:
What is the partial pressure of oxygen in this mixture?

$X_{ O_{2} } = \frac{P}{100}$
$X_{ O_{2}} = \frac{40}{100}$
$\boxed{X_{ O_{2}} = 0.4}$

To calculate the partial pressure of the oxygen gas, it is enough to use the formula that involves the pressures (total and partial) and the fraction in quantity of matter:

In relation to $O_{2}$ :

$\frac{P O_{2} }{P_{total}} = X_O_{2}$
$\frac{P O_{2} }{800} = 0.4$
$P_O_{2} = 0.4*800$
$\boxed{\boxed{P_O_{2} = 320\:mmHg}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

Calculate the mass of water produced when 2.06 g of butane reacts with excess oxygen.

dem82 [27]

2C4H10 + 13O2 = 8CO2 + 10H2O

1. (2.06g C4H10)/(58.12 g/mol C4H10) = 0.035mol C4H10

2. (0.035molC4H10)(10 mol H2O/2mol C4H10) = 0.177mol H2O

3. (0.177mol H2O)(18.01g/mol H2O) = 3.19g H2O

A fossilized leaf contains 24% of its normal amount of carbon 14. how old is the fossil (to the nearest year)? use 5600 years as

sergij07 [2.7K]

The Half life is the time taken for a radioisotope or a radioactive substance to decay by half its original amount. The half life of carbon 14 is 5600 years.
Original mass is 100%
Remaining amount is 24%
Therefore; 0.24 = 1 × (1/2)^n
n = log 0.24/log 0.5
= 2.06
therefore, the age of the fossil is 5600×2.06
= 11529.8
≈ 11529 years

Calculate the number of moles of magnesium, chlorine, and oxygen atoms in 7.80 moles of magnesium perchlorate, Mg(ClO4)2.

Dmitry [639]

The number of moles of moles of Magnesium,chlorine and oxygen atoms in 7.80 moles of Mg(ClO4)2 is calculated as below

find the total number of each atom in Mg(ClO4)2

that is mg = 1 atom
Cl = 1x2 = 2 atoms
O = 4 x2 = 8 atoms

then multiply 7.80 moles with total number of each atom , to get the number moles of each atom
that is

Mg = 7.80 x1= 7.80 moles
cl = 7.80 x2=15.6 moles
O = 7.80 x8= 62.4 moles
