Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons.
Answer:
Since HCl is a strong acid, it completely ionizes, and the pH of HCl in solution can be found from the concentration (molarity) of the H+ ions, by definition equal to 0.100 M. (The conjugate base of the acid, which is the chloride ion Cl–, would also have a concentration of 0.100 M.) The pH is thus –log(0.100) = 1.000.

Answer:
Choice d. No effect will be observed as long as other factors (temperature, in particular) are unchanged.
Explanation:
The equilibrium constant of a reaction does not depend on the pressure. For this particular reaction, the equilibrium quotient is:
![Q = \displaystyle \frac{[\mathrm{SO_2\, (g)}]}{[\mathrm{O_2\, (g)}]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Q%20%3D%20%5Cdisplaystyle%20%5Cfrac%7B%5B%5Cmathrm%7BSO_2%5C%2C%20%28g%29%7D%5D%7D%7B%5B%5Cmathrm%7BO_2%5C%2C%20%28g%29%7D%5D%7D)
.
Note that the two sides of this balanced equation contain an equal number of gaseous particles. Indeed, both ![[\mathrm{SO_2\, (g)}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cmathrm%7BSO_2%5C%2C%20%28g%29%7D%5D)
and ![[\mathrm{O_2\, (g)}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cmathrm%7BO_2%5C%2C%20%28g%29%7D%5D)
will increase if the pressure is increased through compression. However, because 
and 
have the same coefficients in the equation, their concentrations are raised to the same power in the equilibrium quotient 
.
As a result, the increase in pressure will have no impact on the value of 
. If the system was already at equilibrium, it will continue to be at an equilibrium even after the change to its pressure. Therefore, no overall effect on the equilibrium position should be visible.
