A student uses an indicator to measure the pH of a solution. The indicator shows a pH of 7. What must be true of this solution?

2 answers:

A pH of 7 is known as "natural"

A pH below 7 is an acid

A pH above 7 is a base

Acids give up hydrogen ions, shown as H+
Bases accept H+, hydrogen ions.

Equilibrium is when a chemical reaction doesn't favor the reactants or products and can go in reverse.
pH of 7 are related to Equilibrium.

With the info I have given you, it's obviously not one of the last 2 you listed.

pH measures the alkalinity and acidity of a solution by the Hydrogen ions, H+. Therefore, the solution has to have Hydrogen ions to react/be measured by the pH paper.

Therefore, your answer is the 2nd statement.
The solution has equal amounts of hydronium ions and hydroxide ions.

Answer:

The solution has equal amounts of hydronium ions and hydroxide ions.

Explanation:

From the very beginning it is clear that answer choices 3 and 4 are incorrect, as a pH of 7 means it is neutral.

The pH of anything being 7 (neutral) means it is neither an acid (1-6) nor a base (8-14).

This essentially levels things out meaning that there will be an equal amount.

Describe the electron transfers that occur in the formation of calcium fluoride from elemental calcium and elemental fluorine.

boyakko [2]

Answer:

Check explanation

Explanation:

In the formation of calcium fluoride we take calcium and fluorine.

in elemental form calcium exist in solid form and fluorine in gaseous form.

formation of compound takes place to complete their octet, in case of calcium need to remove two electron and need to add one elecron in fluorine to complete their octet so two electron will ransferred from calcium to two fluorine atom.

As viewed from above in this picture, what direction will the current be in the coil of wire that will cause the loop to rotate

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

When viewed from above, the current in the coil should point towards the top-right corner of the picture.

Explanation:

The current in this coil have only two possible directions: clockwise or counter-clockwise. However, since the diagram shows the coil from above, not from a cross-section, just saying clockwise or counter-clockwise might be ambiguous. The statement that the current is directed towards the top-right corner of the picture is equivalent to saying that when viewed from the lower-right corner of this diagram, the current in the coil is moving clockwise.

Note that at the center of this picture, the current is parallel to the magnetic field- there will be no force on the coil at that position. On the other hand, (also when viewed from above,) at the top-right corner and the lower-left corner of the coil, the current in the coil will be perpendicular to the magnetic field. That's where the force on the coil will be the strongest.

With that in mind, apply the right-hand rule to find the direction of the force on the coil in each of the two possibilities.

Assume that when viewed from above, the current is flowing towards the top-right corner of the picture. Consider the wire near the top-right corner of this coil (as viewed above on this picture.) The current will be going into the picture into the magnetic field. By the right-hand rule, the current on the wire near that point should be pointing towards the bottom of this picture. (Point fingers on the right hand in the direction of the current $I$ . Rotate the right hand such that when curling the fingers, they point in the direction of the magnetic field $B$ . The direction of the right thumb should now point in the direction of the force on the wire $F$ .)

Based on the same assumption, the current in the wires near the bottom left corner of this coil will be pointing out of the picture. By the right hand rule, the magnetic force on the coil in that region should be pointing towards the top of this picture. Combing these two forces, the coil would indeed be rotating around the center of this picture in the direction shown in the diagram.

It can also be shown that if the current points towards the bottom left corner of the picture when viewed from above, the coil will be rotating about the center of this picture in the opposite direction.
