Which description correctly characterizes the acidity or basicity of a solution? The higher the pH is, the more the hydroxide io
n concentration decreases and the more acidic the solution becomes. The higher the pH is, the more the hydroxide ion concentration increases and the more basic the solution becomes. The lower the pH is, the more the hydronium ion concentration decreases and the more acidic the solution becomes. The lower the pH is, the more the hydronium ion concentration increases and the more basic the solution becomes.

Hello there!
In this case, since the integrated rate law for a second-order reaction is:
Thus, we plug in the initial concentration, rate constant and elapsed time to obtain:

Answer:-
Water is highly ordered. In water each oxygen atom is connected to others around it through hydrogen bonding via bridging hydrogen atoms. When a salt like NaCl is dissolved, some of these Hydrogen bonds break.
When a salt like NaCl dissolves in water, the NaCl breaks in to ions Na+ and Cl-.
The water molecules now surround these ions.
The slightly negative oxygen end of water molecule gets near the Na+, while the slightly positive Hydrogen of water molecule gets near the Cl-.
So before salt sample dissolve, the water molecules were highly ordered due to hydrogen bonding. Now after salt dissolve there is a decrease in order and thus an increase in disorder of the water molecules.
Due to increase in disorder, entropy which is a measure of disorder increases. Since entropy increases, delta S for the process is positive.
