What is the pH of a substance that has a hydrogen ion concentration of 8.8

Chemistry

djverab [1.8K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: 1.05

Explanation:

pH is the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration in a solution.

i.e pH = -log (H+)

Since hydrogen ion ( H+) concentration = 8.8 x 10^-2 M = 0.088M

Thus, pH = -log (0.088M)

pH = - ( -1.055)

pH = 1.055

pH = 1.05 (pH value is rounded to 2 decimals)

Thus, the substance is strongly acidic since its pH is 1.05.

171 g of sucrose ( MW of 342, melting point 186 oC, boiling point very high, and vapor pressure is negligible) is dissolved in o
Fantom [35]

The complete question is as follows: 171 g of sucrose ( MW of 342, melting point 186 oC, boiling point very high, and vapor pressure is negligible) is dissolved in one liter of water at 25 oC. At 25 oC the vapor pressure of water is 24 mmHg. Which value is closest to the vapor pressure (VP) of this solution at 25 oC?

a. 16mm Hg

b. 24mm Hg  

c. 20mm Hg  

d. 12mm Hg

Answer: The vapor pressure (VP) of this solution at 25^{o}C is closest to the value 24 mm Hg.

Explanation:

Given: Mass of sucrose = 171 g

Mass of water = 1 L = 1000 g

Vapor pressure of water = 24 mm Hg

As moles is the mass of substance divided by its molar mass. Hence, moles of water (molar mass = 18.02 g) is calculated as follows.

Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{1000 g}{18.02 g/mol}\\= 55.49 mol

Similarly, moles of sucrose (molar mass = 342 g/mol) is as follows.

Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{171 g}{342 g/mol}\\= 0.5 mol

Total moles = 55.49 + 0.5 mol = 55.99 mol

Mole fraction of water is as follows.

Mole fraction = \frac{moles of water}{total moles}\\= \frac{55.49}{55.99}\\= 0.99

Formula used to calculate vapor pressure of the solution is as follows.

P_{i} = P^{o}_{i} \times \chi_{i}

where,

P_{i} = vapor pressure of component i over the solution

P^{o}_{i} = vapor pressure of pure component i

\chi_{i} = mole fraction of i

Substitute the values into above formula to calculate vapor pressure of water as follows.

P_{i} = P^{o}_{i} \times \chi_{i}\\= 24 mm Hg \times 0.99\\= 23.76 \\or 24 mm Hg\\

Thus, we can conclude that the vapor pressure (VP) of this solution at 25^{o}C is closest to the value 24 mm Hg.

What two gases make up 99% of the Earth's atmosphere? A. Nitrogen and water vapor B. Carbon dioxide and oxygen C. Carbon dioxide
denpristay [2]

Of the gases listed, nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone are extremely important to the health of the Earth's biosphere. The table indicates that nitrogen and oxygen are the main components of the atmosphere by volume.

so the answer is D. Nitrogen and oxygen

hope this helps!

What is the difference between an autosome and a sex chromosome
tatyana61 [14]
. The members of theautosome pairs are truly homologous; that is, each member of a pair contains a full complement of the same gene.The sex chromosomes, on the other hand, do not constitute a homologous pair.

How does the plate boundary along the west coast of the United States change over time?
Tanzania [10]

The North American plate is moving towards the west-southwest at about 2.3 centimeters every year mediated by the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the spreading center, which gave rise to the Atlantic Ocean. The small Juan De Fuca plate, moving east-northeast at 4 centimeters every year, was once a component of much greater oceanic plates known as the Farallon plate.  

The Farallon plate used to comprise what is now the Cocos plate of Mexico and Central America, and the Juan de Fuca plate in the region from N. Vancouver Island to the Cape Mendicino California, and a big sea floor tract in between. However, the middle portion of the Old Farallon plate disappeared underneath North America, it was subducted underneath California leaving the San Andreas fault system behind as the contact between the Pacific plates and North America.  

The Juan De Fuca plate is still actively subducting underneath North America. Its movement is not smooth, however, rather sticky. The buildup of strain takes place until the fault dissociates and a few meters of Juan De Fuca get slid underneath North America in a big earthquake.
