Answer:

The rain falling in New England is 2.29 times more acidic than the one in the American Midwest.

Explanation:

The acidity of a solution depends on the concentration of H⁺ ions ([H⁺]). We can calculate this concentration from the pH using the following expression.

pH = -log ([H⁺])

American Midwest

pH = -log ([H⁺])

5.02 = -log ([H⁺])

[H⁺] = antilog (-5.02) = 9.55 × 10⁻⁶ M

New England

pH = -log ([H⁺])

4.66 = -log ([H⁺])

[H⁺] = antilog (-4.66) = 2.19 × 10⁻⁵ M

The ratio of concentrations is:

\frac{2.19 \times 10^{-5} M  }{9.55 \times 10^{-6} M} =2.29

The rain falling in New England is 2.29 times more acidic than the one in the American Midwest.

How many moles of Mg(OH)2 will react with 2.5 mol HCI?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

1.25mole of Mg(OH)₂

Explanation:

The reaction is between Mg(OH)₂ and HCl, this is a neutralization reaction between an acid and a base.

         Mg(OH)₂   +   2HCl   →   MgCl₂   + 2H₂O

The balanced reaction equation is given above.

           2 mole of HCl reacts with 1 mole of Mg(OH)₂

So,       2.5mole of HCl will react with \frac{2.5}{2}  = 1.25mole of Mg(OH)₂

The number of moles of Mg(OH)₂ is given as 1.25mol
