Answer: basic

Explanation:

pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is measured by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ions concentration.

$pH=-log[H^+]$

Acids have pH ranging from 1 to 6.9 and bases have pH ranging from 7.1 to 14.Neutral substances have pH of 7.

Answer:

The correct answer is b=basic

Explanation:

Hello! Let's solve this!

The pH is a measure of the concentration of protons. The pH scale is less than 7 the substance is acidic

pH = 7 the substance is neutral

pH> 7 the substance is basic.

In this case the pH is 8 so according to the scale the substance is basic. That is, it is a base.

Give regents and mechanism

Kryger [21]

Answer:

Reagents: 1) $BH_3$ 2) $H_2_O2$ , $OH^-$

Mechanism: Hydroboration

Explanation:

In this case, we have a hydration of alkenes reaction. But, in this example, we have an anti-Markovnikov reaction. In other words, the "OH" is added in the least substituted carbon. Therefore we have to choose an anti-Markovnikov reaction: "hydroboration".

The first step of this reaction is the addition of borane ( $BH_3$ ) to the double bond. Then in the second step, we have the deprotonation of the hydrogen peroxide, to obtain the peroxide anion. In the third step, the peroxide anion attacks the molecule produced in the first step to produce a complex compound in which we have a bond " $BH_2-O-OH$ ". In step number 4 we have the migration of the C-B bond to oxygen. Then in step number 5, we have the attack of $OH^-$ on the $O-BH_2$ to produce an alkoxide. Finally, the water molecule produce in step 2 will protonate the molecule to produce the alcohol.

See figure 1

If the reactants contain one chlorine molecule, do you know how many chlorine atoms will be in the product? Include conversion o

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The number of Chlorine atoms in the product is 2.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.

The reactants contain one chlorine molecule( $Cl_{2}$ ) which has two chlorine atoms.

Then, according to law of conservation of matter, the product must contain two chlorine atoms.

Answer the following questions…

Zina [86]

The concentration of the hydronium ion in hydrochloric acid is 0.0045 M, and the pH of the solution is 2.34.

pH is the potential of the hydrogen or the hydronium ions in the aqueous solution.

As the solution contains $4.5 \times 10^{-3} \;\rm M\;$ HCl the concentration of the hydronium ion will be the same, $4.5 \times 10^{-3} \;\rm M.$

The pH of the solution is calculated as:

$\begin{aligned} \rm pH &= \rm -log[H^{+}]\\\\&= - \rm log (4.5 \times 10^{-3})\\\\&= 2.34\end{aligned}$

The concentration of the hydroxide ion is calculated from pH and hydronium ion as:

$\begin{aligned} \rm [H_{3}O^{+}][OH^{-}] &= 10^{-14}\\\\&= \dfrac{1 \times 10^{-14}}{4.5 \times 10^{-3}}\\\\&= 2.2 \times 10^{12}\end{aligned}$

Now, for the calcium hydroxide solution, the calculations are shown as,

$\begin{aligned} \rm (H_3}\rm O^{+}) &= \rm antilog (-pH)\\\\&= \rm antilog (-8)\\\\&= 10^{-8} \;\rm M\end{aligned}$

pOH is calculated as:

$\begin{aligned} \rm pOH &= 14- 8 = 6\\\\\rm [OH^{-}] &= \rm antilog (-6)\\\\&= 10^{-6} \end{aligned}$

The concentration of calcium hydroxide is calculated as:

$\begin{aligned} &= \dfrac{1}{2} \times \rm [OH^{-}]\\\\&= 5 \times 10^{-4} \;\rm M\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the pH and the pOH give the concentration of the hydrogen or the hydronium ion and the hydroxide ion.
