Which of the following statements best compares the pH value of H3PO4 and HCl?
wel

Answer:

Option B. Both have a pH less than 7, but H3PO4 has a lower pH than HCl

Explanation:

Those are acid, so the pH would be < 7.

H₃PO₄ is a weak acid with 3 dissociations

HCl is a strong acid.

pH depends on [H]⁺

H₃PO₄  →  3H⁺  +  PO₄⁻³

HCl →  H⁺  +  Cl⁻

If both acid, have the same concentration, [H⁺]H₃PO₄ > [H⁺]HCl, that's why the pH from the phosphoric will be lower.

Determine the specific heat ofmaterial if a 12g sample absorbed 48j as it was heated from 20-40
devlian [24]

Answer:

c =0.2 J/g.°C

Explanation:

Given data:

Specific heat of material = ?

Mass of sample = 12 g

Heat absorbed = 48 J

Initial temperature = 20°C

Final temperature = 40°C

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT =  40°C -20°C

ΔT =  20°C

48 J = 12 g×c×20°C

48 J =240 g.°C×c

c = 48 J/240 g.°C

c =0.2 J/g.°C

How many formula units are in 239.2g of <br> Br2<br> MgCl2<br> H2O<br> Fe
Oksana_A [137]

The formula units in the substances are as follows:

  • Br2 = 8.99 × 10^23 formula units
  • MgCl2 = 1.51 × 10^24 formula units
  • H2O = 2.57 × 10^24 formula units
  • Fe = 2.57 × 10^24 formula units

<h3>How many moles are in 239.2 g of the given substances?</h3>

The moles of the substances are determined from their molar mass.

Molar mass of the substances is given as follows:

  • Br2 = 160 g/mol
  • MgCl2 = 95 g/mol
  • H2O = 18 g/mol
  • Fe = 56 g/mol

Formula units = mass/molar mass × 6.02 × 10^23

The formula units in the substances are as follows:

  • Br2 = 239.2/160 × 6.02 × 10^23 = 8.99 × 10^23 formula units
  • MgCl2 = 239.2/95 × 6.02 × 10^23 = 1.51 × 10^24 formula units
  • H2O = 239.2/18 × 6.02 × 10^23 = 2.57 × 10^24 formula units
  • Fe = 239.2/56 × 6.02 × 10^23 = 2.57 × 10^24 formula units

In conclusion, the number of formula units is derived from the moles and Avogadro number.
