Not at all they’re poisonous

You should handle them with care as seen that they are easily breakable and Mercury is dangerous.

Please help me

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

pH = 6.999

The solution is acidic.

Explanation:

HBr is a strong acid, a very strong one.

In water, this acid is totally dissociated.

HBr + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + Br⁻

We can think pH, as - log 7.75×10⁻¹² but this is 11.1

acid pH can't never be higher than 7.

We apply the charge balance:

[H⁺] = [Br⁻] + [OH⁻]

All the protons come from the bromide and the OH⁻ that come from water.

We can also think [OH⁻] = Kw / [H⁺] so:

[H⁺] = [Br⁻] + Kw / [H⁺]

Now, our unknown is [H⁺]

[H⁺] = 7.75×10⁻¹² + 1×10⁻¹⁴ / [H⁺]

[H⁺] = (7.75×10⁻¹² [H⁺] + 1×10⁻¹⁴) / [H⁺]

This is quadratic equation: [H⁺]² - 7.75×10⁻¹² [H⁺] - 1×10⁻¹⁴

a = 1 ; b = - 7.75×10⁻¹² ; c = -1×10⁻¹⁴

(-b +- √(b² - 4ac) / (2a)

[H⁺] = 1.000038751×10⁻⁷

- log [H⁺] = pH → 6.999

A very strong acid as HBr, in this case, it is so diluted that its pH is almost neutral.

Three 1.0-l flasks, maintained at 308 k, are connected to each other with stopcocks. initially the stopcocks are closed. one of

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

0.6103 atm.

Explanation:

We need to calculate the vapor pressure of each component after the stopcocks are opened.

Volume after the stopcocks are opened = 3.0 L.

1) For N₂:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = 1.5 atm & V₁ = 1.0 L & V₂ = 3.0 L.

P₂ of N₂ = P₁V₁ / V₂ = (1.5 atm) (1.0 L) / (3.0 L) = 0.5 atm.

2) For H₂O:

Pressure of water at 308 K is 42.0 mmHg.

we need to convert from mmHg to atm: (1.0 atm = 760.0 mmHg).

P of H₂O = (1.0 atm x 42.0 mmHg) / (760.0 mmHg) = 0.0553 atm.

We must check if more 2.2 g of water is evaporated,

n = PV/RT = (0.0553 atm) (3.0 L) / (0.082 L.atm/mol.K) (308 K) = 0.00656 mole.

m = n x cmolar mass = (0.00656 mole) (18.0 g/mole) = 0.118 g.

It is lower than the mass of water in the flask (2.2 g).

3) For C₂H₅OH:

Pressure of C₂H₅OH at 308 K is 102.0 mmHg.

we need to convert from mmHg to atm: (1.0 atm = 760.0 mmHg).

P of C₂H₅OH = (1.0 atm x 102.0 mmHg) / (760.0 mmHg) = 0.13421 atm.

We must check if more 0.3 g of C₂H₅OH is evaporated,

n = PV/RT = (0.13421 atm) (3.0 L) / (0.082 L.atm/mol.K) (308 K) = 0.01594 mole.

m = n x molar mass = (0.01594 mole) (46.07 g/mole) = 0.7344 g.

It is more than the amount in the flask (0.3 g), so the pressure should be less than 0.13421 atm.

We have n = mass / molar mass = (0.30 g) / (46.07 g/mole) = 0.00651 mole.

So, P of C₂H₅OH = nRT / V = (0.00651 mole) (0.082 L.atm/mole.K) (308.0 K) / (3.0 L) = 0.055 atm.

So, total pressure = P of N₂ + P of H₂O + P of C₂H₅OH = 0.5 atm + 0.0553 atm + 0.055 atm = 0.6103 atm.
