It was mentioned that you should not expect the pH of distilled water to be 7.00 as ordinarily measured in the laboratory. What

component(s) of the atmosphere might cause distilled water in the laboratory to have pH < 7.0? Write an equation to show this.

Answer:

Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

<em> laboratory to have a pH of less than 7.0.</em>

Carbon (IV) oxide in the atmosphere is capable of dissolving into the distilled water to form a weak acid. Any pH that is less than 7.0 is acidic while any pH above 7.0 is alkaline or basic.

First, the carbon (IV) oxide enters the water through an equilibrium with the atmosphere:

CO_2 (aq)  CO_2 (g)

Thereafter, aqueous carbon (IV) oxide can then react with water to form a weak carbonic acid:

CO_2 (aq) + H_2O --> H_2CO_3 (aq)

What is the symbol of potassium chlorite
tino4ka555 [31]
Chlorite is ClO2^-1, and potassium is K with a charge of +1. So, we would write is as KClO2, since the charges cancel out with each other.

Compare and contrast diffusion and osmosis. Include at least one similarity and one difference between the two processes.
Softa [21]
Osmosis is the diffusion of water <span>across a semipermeable membrane (usually cell membrane) from a region of low solute concentration to a more concentrated solution so it can reach equilibrium (balance). 

D</span>iffusion is <span>a spontaneous movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

Both results in particles moving and help balance out the concentrations.
Also, in osmosis, the water molecules are moving. In diffusion, it is the solutes moving.

I hope this helps and explains well.</span>

how many H+ ions are in a solution with a pH of 2 and how many H+ ions are in a solution with a pH of 6?
LiRa [457]

Answer:

i) pH = 2

pH = -log(H+)

:- (H+) = 10^(-2)

:- (H+) = 0.01 M

ii) pH = 6

pH = -log(H+)

:- (H+) = 10^(-6)

:- (H+) = 0.000001 M

Explanation:

By definition: pH = -log(H+).

Given your pH, solve for the H+ using the the following log rule:

if a = (+/-) log (b) then

b = 10^((+/-) a).

Also remember unit of concentration is molar (M)

What are atoms?
user100 [1]

Answer:

The smallest particle of a chemical element can be defined as an atom.

Explanation:

The number of protons in one atom of an element determines the atom's identity, and the number of electrons determines its electrical charge.

a single electron or one of two or more electrons in the outer shell of an atom that is responsible for the chemical properties of the atom is known as valence electrons.

An atom's reactivity is its tendency to lose or gain electrons. ... This is because they have one outer electron and losing it gives them the stability of a outer electron shell as the next level... The reactivities of elements can be predicted by periodic trends.

How does increasing temperature increase the number of reactions?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Increasing the temperature increases reaction rates because of the disproportionately large increase in the number of high energy collisions. It is only these collisions (possessing at least the activation energy for the reaction) which result in a reaction
