What is the pH of a solution with a hydrogen-ion concentration ([H+]) of 8.7 x 10-6M? Is this acidic or basic?

3 0

Answer:

pH = 5.06, solution is acidic

Explanation:

pH = - log [H+]

we are given, [H+] as  8.7 x 10^-6M

Therefore;

pH = - log (8.7 x 10^-6 M)

    = 5.06

pH = 5.06

But a solution with a pH of, 1-6 is acidic, while a pH of 7 is neutral and that of 8-14 is basic.

Thus; a pH of 5.06 is acidic

ICl has a higher boiling point than Br2. What is the best explanation for this?
Flura [38]
<span>The best answer is B. ICl experiences induced dipole-induced dipole interactions. Both iodine and chlorine belongs to the same group of the periodic table. Electronegativity decreases as you go down a group therefore Cl will have a greater attraction with the bond it forms with another atom. Dipole-dipole interactions form between I and Cl. For the Br2 molecule, no dipole occurs because they are two identical atoms. Therefore we will be expecting ICl will have a higher boiling point due to higher binding energy it forms.</span>

Does density of water depend on the amount of water present ?
Nitella [24]
<span>No, the denisty of any substance/liquid is always constant, no matter what the volume or mass is. Once the mass g/ volume mL is taken into consideration, the effect of the ammount of liquid given is canceled out. Thus, no matter what your sample is, the density of water will always be 1 g/mL</span>

Given that hclo4 is a strong acid, how would you classify the basicity of clo−4?
Mandarinka [93]
As a conjugate base of a strong acid,ClO4-would be classified as having a negligible basicity. The basicity of a chemical species is normally expressed by the acidity of the conjugate acid. The basicity of an acid is the number of hydrogen ions, which can be produced by one molecule of the acid.

How does hydrogen bonding affect water molecules
ruslelena [56]
Since the oxygen likes to hog all the electrons, it gives the hydrogen molecules a slight positive charge and the itself a slightly negative charge.
Positive attracts negative, so there is some sort of attraction between water molecules, though a weak one.
