What is the pOH of a<br> 2.6 x 10-6 M H+ solution?

melomori [17]

Answer:

Approximately $8.41$ (assuming that the solution is at $\rm 25^\circ C$ , under which $K_{\rm w} = 10^{-14}$ .)

Explanation:

Let ${\rm [H^{+}]}$ and ${\rm [OH^{-}]}$ denote the concentration of $\rm H^{+}$ and $\rm OH^{-}$ respectively.

Let $K_{\rm w}$ denote the self-ionization constant of water. The exact value of $K_{\rm w}\!$ depends on the temperature of the solution. $K_{\rm w} =10^{-14}$ at $\rm 25^\circ C$ .

The product of ${\rm [H^{+}]}$ and ${\rm [OH^{-}]}$ in a solution (with $\rm M$ , or moles per liter, as the unit) is supposed to be equal to the $K_{\rm w}$ value of that solution at the corresponding temperature. In other words:

${\rm [H^{+}]} \cdot {\rm [OH^{-}]} = K_{\rm w}$ .

Rearrange to obtain an expression for ${[\rm OH^{-}]}$ :

$\begin{aligned}{\rm [OH^{-}]} &= \frac{K_{\rm w}}{[\rm H^{+}]}\end{aligned}$ .

Assume that the solution in this question is at $\rm 25^\circ C$ (for which $K_{\rm w} =10^{-14}$ .) For this solution:

$\begin{aligned}{\rm [OH^{-}]} &= \frac{K_{\rm w}}{[\rm H^{+}]} \\ &= \frac{10^{-14}}{2.6 \times 10^{-6}}\approx 3.85\times 10^{-9}\; \rm M\end{aligned}$ .

Hence, the $\rm pOH$ of this solution would be:

$\begin{aligned}\rm pOH &= -\log_{10}{\rm [OH^{-}]} \\&\approx -\log_{10} (3.85 \times 10^{-9}) \approx 8.41 \end{aligned}$ .

The reaction below is at dynamic equilibrium. Upper N subscript 2 (g) plus 3 upper H subscript 2 (g) double-headed arrow 2 upper

Len [333]

For the reaction below at dynamic equilibrium, it is true that the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction.

Let's consider the following reaction at equilibrium.

N₂(g) + 3 H₂(g) = 2 NH₃(g)

<h3>What is the chemical equilibrium?</h3>

Is a state in which the concentrations of reactants and products are constant and the forward reaction rate and constant reaction rate are equal.

<h3>What is the equilibrium constant?</h3>

The equilibrium constant (K) is the ratio of the concentrations of the products to the concentrations of the reactants, all raised to their stoichiometric coefficients.

Let's consider which statement is true for the equilibrium system.

The concentration of NH₃ is greater than the concentration of N₂. FALSE. There is not enough information to confirm this, we would need to know the value of K.
The concentration of NH₃ equals the concentration of N₂. FALSE. There is not enough information to confirm this, we would need to know the value of K.
The rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction. TRUE. This is always true for a reaction at equilibrium.
The rate of the forward reaction is greater than the rate of the reverse reaction. FALSE. At equilibrium, both rates are equal.

For the reaction below at dynamic equilibrium, it is true that the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction.

what is a major drawback of using fossil fuels they warmn the planet they contain no greenohuse gases

Charra [1.4K]

The major drawback of fossil fuels is that they warm the planet i.e. they cause global warming.

The reaction typically gives off heat and light as well. The general equation for a complete combustion reaction is:

Fuel + O2 → CO2 + H2O + ENERGY

<h3>Disadvantages of Fossil fuels</h3>

The term "fossil fuels" refers to flammable organic geologic formations, including dead organic matter that has been buried hundreds of feet beneath sediment.

Fossil fuel emissions include various oxides, such as carbon, nitrogen, and sulfate, which cause acid rain and harm the soil's fertility and water quality.
Both coal and petroleum burning discharge a significant amount of pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to pollution levels.
Gases like carbon dioxide are released through the burning of fossil fuels, which aids in climate change.
