When one material is rubbed against another, electrons jump readily from one to the other. why don’t protons do that?

1 answer:

5 0

Protons are held inside nucleous with neutrons with large amount of force. So mere rubbing doesn't help in breaking the nucleous of an atom. But electrons are far from the nucleous and the force of attraction is smaller. So electrons can jump readily while protons can't

A weak base is titrated with a hydrochloric acid solution. What is the pH at the equivalence point?A) equal to pKaB) equal to 7C

zvonat [6]

Answer:

E) less than 7

Explanation:

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions.

Thus,

pH = - log [H⁺]

pH scale generally runs from 1 to 14 where pH = 7 represents neutral medium, pH < 7 represents acidic medium and pH > 7 represents basic medium.

Strong acids dissociate completely and when they react with base they form a salt of weak base and strong acid.

For example, $BOH$ is a weak base and $HCl$ is the hydrochloric acid.

So,

$BOH+HCl\rightarrow BCl+H_2O$

<u>Thus, the salt is of weak base and strong acid which corresponds to pH less than 7.</u>
