Answer:

1.70

Explanation:

The molar mass of perchloric acid is 100.46 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 484 mg (0.484 g) are:

0.484 g × (1 mol/100.46 g) = 4.82 × 10⁻³ mol

4.82 × 10⁻³ moles are dissolved in 240 mL (0.240 L) of solution. The molar concentration of perchloric acid is:

4.82 × 10⁻³ mol/0.240 L = 0.0201 M

Perchloric acid is a strong monoprotic acid, that is, it dissociates completely, so [H⁺] = 0.0201 M.

The pH is:

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 0.0201 = 1.70

What is wrong with the following explanation of an experiment? When it was heated, the sample of carbon decomposed.
Drupady [299]
"Carbon" is an element. It is found in the fourth group of the periodic table, and it is a stable element. This means that it can not be decomposed via heating, because if an element were to break down, it would release its subatomic particles. The explanation was probably one used to describe the thermal decomposition of a compound into smaller compounds.

A standard solution contained 0.8 mg/mL. A student took 2 mL of the standard solution and added 10 mL of water. What is the new/
galben [10]
To get the concentration of the second solution let us use the following formulae

C1V1=C2V2 where C1 is concentration of first solution and V1 is the volume of solution first solution. on the other hand C2 is the concentration of second solution and V2 is the volume of second solution.

therefore

0.8×2=(2+10)×C2
   1.6 =12×C2
1.6/12=C2
C2     = 0.1333mg/mL

What is chemsity and what does it have to do with science
MatroZZZ [7]
Chemistry is the study of the composition of matter and the ways in which matter interacts, combines, and changes under certain conditions.  Although not as fundamental as physics, chemistry is a very basic and broad science.  It helps us explain bodily interactions and natural process (biochemistry), it helps us to manufacture new medications, and true chemistry research will always follow the scientific method.
