a solution is an acid or base and it doesn't react with metal. is it pH more likely to be 4 or 9? explain your answer

1 answer:

6 0

It is more likely 9. pH 4 is acidic and pH 9 is basic, and as the pH of a substance gets closer to 0 or 14, the substance becomes more corrosive or reactive. As 4 is closer to 0 than 9 is to 14, there is a much higher chance the solution has a pH of 9, because pH 4 is less neutral and therefore more corrosive/reactive than pH 9.

The following reactions have the indicated equilibrium constants at a particular temperature: N2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2NO(g) Kc = 4.3 ×

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

$Kc=~1.49x10^3^4}$

Explanation:

We have the reactions:

A: $N_2_(_g_) + O_2_(_g_) 2NO_(_g_)~~~~~~Kc = 4.3x10^-^2^5$

B: $2NO_(_g_)+~O_2_(_g_)~2NO_2_(_g_)~~~Kc = 6.4x10^9$

Our target reaction is:

$4NO_(_g_) N_2_(_g_) + 2NO_2_(_g_)$

We have $NO_(_g_)$ as a reactive in the target reaction and $NO_(_g_)$ is present in A reaction but in the products side. So we have to flip reaction A.

A: $2NO_(_g_) N_2_(_g_) + O_2_(_g_) ~Kc =\frac{1}{4.3x10^-^2^5}$

Then if we add reactions A and B we can obtain the target reaction, so:

A: $2NO_(_g_) N_2_(_g_) + O_2_(_g_) ~Kc =\frac{1}{4.3x10^-^2^5}$

B: $2NO_(_g_)+~O_2_(_g_)~2NO_2_(_g_)~Kc=6.4x10^9$

For the final Kc value, we have to keep in mind that when we have to add chemical reactions the total Kc value would be the multiplication of the Kc values in the previous reactions.

$4NO_(_g_) N_2_(_g_) + 2NO_2_(_g_)~~~Kc=\frac{6.4x10^9}{4.3x10^-^2^5}$

$Kc=~1.49x10^+^3^4}$

How does natural selection produce adaptations in a species?

pashok25 [27]

Well the organism that is producing an offspring is already very adapted to it's surroundings. So, the organism has developed characteristics that help it survive in it's environment. These traits are passed down to the offspring. Creating adaptations to this particular species.
