As discussed in class, water plays an important biological role and therefore knowing the properties of water plays a role in un

derstanding pH and its impact on biological structures. The ionization constant for water, Kw, is 1.14 x 10–15 at 0 °C and 9.6 x 10–14 at 60 °C. Determine the pH of water at 60 °C.

Answer:

Explanation:

H2O --> H+ + OH-

Ka = [H+][OH-]/[H2O]

Ka × [H2O] = Kw

Kw = [H+] × [OH-]

[H+] = [OH-] = x

Therefore,

9.6 x 10^-14 = x^2

x = 3.098 × 10^-7

[H+] = 3.098 × 10^-7 M

pH = -log[H+]

= -log [3.098 × 10^-7]

= 6.51

Answer:

6.5

Explanation:

Since pure water is neutral, the hydrogen ion concentration equals the hydroxide ion concentration.

[H⁺] = [OH⁻] and pK = pH + pOH. Since [H⁺] = [OH⁻], pH = -log[H⁺] = pOH = -log[OH⁻].

So, pK = 2pH  and K = ionisation constant for water at 60 °C = 9.6 × 10⁻¹⁴

pH = pK/2 = -logK/2 = - log(9.6 × 10⁻¹⁴)/2 = (14 - log9.6)/2 = 6.5

So, pH of water at 60 °C is 6.5

Luba_88 [7]
Atoms are electrically neutral because the number of protons, which carry a 1+ charge, in the nucleus of an atom is equal to the number of electrons, which carry a 1- charge, in the atom. The result is that the total positive charge of the protons cancels out the total negative charge of the electrons so that the net charge of the atom is zero. Most atoms, however, can either gain or lose electrons; when they do so, the number of electrons becomes different from the number of protons in the nucleus. The resulting charged species is called an ion.

Is Ca + O --> CaO a balanced chemical equation? Is it obeying the law of conservation of matter? Question 5 options: Yes it i
iren [92.7K]

Answer is: Yes it is balanced. It has the same number of Ca and O on both the reactant side and the product side.

According to principle of mass conservation, number of atoms must be equal on both side of chemical reaction.

There is one calcium atom atom and one oxygen atom on both side of reaction, so chemical reaction is balanced.
