Answer: a) pH = 13.00 : basic
b) ![[H_3O^+]=1.0\times 10^{-12}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH_3O%5E%2B%5D%3D1.0%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-12%7D)
: basic
c) pOH = 5.00 : basic
d) ![[OH^-]=1.0\times 10^{-9}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BOH%5E-%5D%3D1.0%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-9%7D)
: acidic
Explanation:
pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.
![pH=-\log [H_3O^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-%5Clog%20%5BH_3O%5E%2B%5D)
Acids have pH ranging from 1 to 6.9 and bases have pH ranging from 7.1 to 14.Neutral substances have pH of 7.
a) pH = 13.00
As pH is more than 7, the solution is basic.
b)
Putting in the values:
![pH=-\log[1.0\times 10^{-12}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-%5Clog%5B1.0%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-12%7D%5D)
As pH is more than 7, the solution is basic.
c) pOH = 5.00
As pH is more than 7, the solution is basic.
d)
Putting in the values:
![pOH=-\log[1.0\times 10^{-9}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pOH%3D-%5Clog%5B1.0%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-9%7D%5D)
As pH is less than 7, the solution is acidic.
If we don’t protect the ozone layer then it will start to seriously damage earth and we will all eventually die out.
The segment that represents melting is time (minutes) and temperature.
The equilibrium vapour pressure is typically the pressure exerted by a liquid .... it is A FUNCTION of temperature...
Explanation:
By way of example, chemists and physicists habitually use
P
saturated vapour pressure
...where
P
SVP
is the vapour pressure exerted by liquid water. At
100
∘
C
,
P
SVP
=
1
⋅
a
t
m
. Why?
Well, because this is the normal boiling point of water: i.e. the conditions of pressure (i.e. here
1
⋅
a
t
m
) and temperature, here
100
∘
C
, at which the VAPOUR PRESSURE of the liquid is ONE ATMOSPHERE...and bubbles of vapour form directly in the liquid. As an undergraduate you should commit this definition, or your text definition, to memory...
At lower temperatures, water exerts a much lower vapour pressure...but these should often be used in calculations...especially when a gas is collected by water displacement. Tables of
saturated vapour pressure
are available.
