What is the concentration of hydronium ions in pure water?

Chemistry

White raven [17]3 years ago

In an aqueous solution, the hydronium ion concentration is equivalent to the hydrogen ion concentration because the hydrogen ion exists as the hydronium ion. The pH of pure water is 7, and:
pH = -log[H+]
7 = -log[H+]
[H+] = 1 x 10⁻⁷
Therefore, the hydronium ion concentration in pure water is also 1 x 10⁻⁷.

The ph scale is based on the self-ionisation of pure water. Two water molecules will sometimes combine into hydronium and hydroxide ions. Pure water is considered to neutral and the hydronium ion concentration which is equal to the hydroxide ion concentration.

A scientist is adding oxygen to iron in a chemical reaction to create rust. At what point during
Shalnov [3]

Answer: What type of chemical reaction is rusting of iron?

Rust is formed when iron reacts with oxygen in moist air. The following chemical equation represents the reaction: 4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3. Water is necessary for the oxidation reaction to occur and to facilitate transport of the electrons.

Galvanized nails are iron nails that have been plated with zinc to prevent rusting. The relevant reaction is
fomenos

Answer:

1.18 × 10⁷ c

Iron is the anode and zinc is the cathode.

Explanation:

Let's consider the reduction of Zn²⁺.

Zn²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ ⇒ Zn(s)

<em>How many coulombs of charge are needed to produce 61.2 mol of solid zinc?</em>

<em />

We can establish the following relations:

  • When 2 moles of electrons circulate, 1 mol of Zn is produced.
  • 1 mole of electrons have a charge of 96468 c (Faraday's constant).

Then, for 61.2 mol of Zn:

61.2molZn.\frac{2mole^{-} }{1molZn} .\frac{96468c}{1mole^{-}} =1.18 \times 10^{7} c

<em>Identify the anode and cathode when plating an iron nail with zinc.</em>

The anode is where the oxidation takes place and the cathode is where the reduction takes place.

Anode (oxidation): Fe(s) ⇒ Fe²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻

Cathode (reduction): Zn²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ ⇒ Zn(s)

A 1.25g sample of dry ice is added to a 765mL flask containing nitrogen gas at a temperature of 25.0°C and a pressure of 725 mmH
erica [24]

Answer : The total pressure in the flask is 1.86 atm.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the pressure of CO_2 gas.

Using ideal gas equation :

PV=nRT\\\\P_{CO_2}=\frac{w}{M}\frac{RT}{V}

where,

P = Pressure of CO_2 gas = ?

V = Volume of CO_2 gas = 765 mL = 0.765 L     (1 L = 1000 mL)

n = number of moles

w = mass of CO_2 gas = 1.25 g

M = molar mass of CO_2 gas = 44 g/mol

R = Gas constant = 0.0821L.atm/mol.K

T = Temperature of CO_2 gas = 25.0^oC=273+25.0=298K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

P_{CO_2}=\frac{w}{M}\frac{RT}{V}

P_{CO_2}=\frac{1.25g}{44g/mol}\frac{(0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times 298K}{0.765L}=0.909atm

Now we have to calculate the total pressure in the flask.

P_T=P_{N_2}+P_{CO_2}

Given :

P_{CO_2}=0.909atm

P_{N_2}=725mmHg=\frac{725}{760}=0.954atm

conversion used : (1 atm = 760 mmHg)

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

P_T=0.954atm+0.909atm=1.86atm

Therefore, the total pressure in the flask is 1.86 atm.
