Answer:

Yes, all titrations of a strong base with a strong acid have the same pH at the equivalence point.

This pH is 7.

Explanation:

Strong acids and strong bases ionize completely in aqueous solutions. The ionization of strong acids produce hydronium ions, H₃O⁺, and the ionization of strong bases produce hydroxide ions, OH⁻.

Since the ionization of strong acids and bases progress until completion, there is not reverse reaction.

The definition of pH is pH = - log [H₃O⁺]. Acids have low pH (below 7, and greater than 0) and bases have high pH (above 7 and less than 14). Neutral solutions have pH = 7.

Acid-base titrations are a method to determine the concentration of an acid from the known concentration of a base, or the concentraion of a base from the known concentration of an acid.

The equivalence point of the titration is the point at which the the number of moles of hydronium ions and hydroxide ions are equal.

Then, at that point, the hydronium and hydroxide ions will be in the stoichiometric proportion to form a neutral solution, i.e. the pH of the solution wiill be 7.

Consider the balanced equation. 2HCl + Mg MgCl2 + H2 If 40.0 g of HCl react with an excess of magnesium metal, what is the theor

Serga [27]

Answer:

Theoretical yield of hydrogen is 1.11 g

Explanation:

Balanced equation, $Mg+2HCl\rightarrow MgCl_{2}+H_{2}$

As Mg remain present in excess therefore HCl is the limiting reagent.

According to balanced equation, 2 moles of HCl produce 1 mol of $H_{2}$ .

Molar mass of HCl = 36.46 g/mol

So, 40.0 g of HCl = $\frac{40.0}{36.46}moles$ of HCl = 1.10 moles of HCl

Hence, theoretically, number of moles of $H_{2}$ are produced from 1.10 moles of HCl = $(\frac{1}{2}\times 1.10)moles=0.550moles$

Molar mass of $H_{2}$ = 2.016 g/mol

So, theoretical yield of $H_{2}$ = $(0.550\times 2.016)g=1.11g$

The molar mass of aniline is 93 g/mol. what is its molecular formula

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Molecular formula of aniline is C6H5NH2.

Explanation:

As we know, molecular mass can be calculated as

Molar mass = C6H5NH2

Molar mass = (6*12)+(1*7)+(28)

Molar mass = 93 g/mol

You are given two unknown acids, HX and H2Y, and two values for Ka, 1x10^-7 and 1x10^9. You know that X is a much more electrone

Elena L [17]

Answer:

Explanation

In HX , X is more electronegative than Y so HX will ionise more because of ionic bond between H and X . On the other hand H₂Y will be less polar as compared to HX so it will ionise to a lesser extent . Hence Ka will be more for HX . Ka represents the degree of ionisation of acid . Higher the ionisation , higher is the value of Ka . H₂Y which is less polar will ionise less and hence it will have lesser value of Ka .

Hence H₂Y will have value of 10⁻⁷ and HX will have value of ka equal to 10⁹ .
