Answer : The correct option is, (C) Add acid.

Explanation :

As we know that, the pH measures the acidity and basicity of a substance.

The pH range for acidic solution is, 0.1 to 6.9

The pH range for basic solution is, 7.1 to 14

For neutral solution the pH is, 7

As per question, the worker wants the pH of the swimming pool is, 7.2 that means slightly basic. But by testing the water, she found that the pH is, 9.2 that means highly basic. So, to correct the pH of swimming pool that is 7.2 she should add an acid into the water to overcome the basicity of the water.

Hence, the correct option is, (C) Add acid.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

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

pH=-\log[H^+]

  • Higher the hydrogen ion concentration lower will be the pH.Hence, acidic
  • Lower the hydrogen ion concentration higher will be the pH.Hence, alkaline.

The pH of the pool = 9.2

9.2=-\log[H^+]

[H^+]=6.3096\times 10^{-10} M

The pH of the pool desired by worker = 7.2

7.2=-\log[H^+]'

[H^+]'=6.3096\times 10^{-8} M

Hydrogen ion needed tom vahnge pH of the pool from 9.2 to 7.2 is

:[H^+]'-[H^+]=6.3096\times 10^{-8} M-6.3096\times 10^{-10} M

=6.2465\times 10^{-8} M

For hydrogen ions worker has to add acid which will give hydrogen ion in its aqueous from. Hence, correct answer is option C.

Describe a method to calculate the average atomic mass of the sample in the previous question using only the atomic masses of li
alexira [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

To calculate their average atomic masses which is otherwise known as the relative atomic mass, we simply multiply the given abundances of the atoms and the given atomic masses.

The abundace is the proportion or percentage or fraction by which each of the isotopes of an element occurs in nature.

This can be expressed below:

        RAM = Σmₙαₙ

where mₙ is the mass of isotope n

           αₙ is the abundance of isotope n

for this problem:

RAM of Li = m₆α₆ + m₇α₇

       m₆ is mass of isotope Li-6

        α₆ is the abundance of isotope Li-6

       m₇ is mass of isotope Li-7

        α₇ is the abundance of isotope Li-7

Balance the following reaction in KOH (under basic conditions). What are the coefficients in for C3H8O2 and KMnO4 in the balance
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Coefficient of C_3H_8O_2=3

Coefficient of KMnO_4=8

Explanation:

We are given that  a reaction in which C_3H_8O_2 reacts with KMnO_4

We have to find the coefficient of each reactants in balanced reaction

3C_3H_8O_2(aq)+8KMnO_4(aq)\rightarrow 3C_3H_2O_4K_2(aq)+8MnO_2(aq)+2KOH+8H_2O

Coefficient is defined the constant  value multiplied with a reactant in a reaction.

Coefficient of C_3H_8O_2=3

Coefficient of KMnO_4=8

Coefficient of C_3H_2O_4K_2=3

Coefficient of MnO_2=8

Coefficient of H_2O=8

Coefficient of KOH=2

Hence, Coefficient of C_3H_8O_2=3 and coefficient of KMnO_4=8

The equilibrium constant K changes with changes in<br>the temperature.​
chubhunter [2.5K]
<h3>Answer:</h3><h2>Equilibrium constants are changed if you change the temperature of the system. Kc or Kp are constant at constant temperature, but they vary as the temperature changes. You can see that as the temperature increases, the value of Kp falls.</h2>
