The reason is because of the direction the plateaus is, so this affects it in the degree of the end result

Hydrobromic acid, HBr, is a strong acid. Hydrofluoric acid, HF, is a weak acid. If you prepared equal
snow_tiger [21]
HBr and HF are both monoprotic Arrhenius acids—that is, in aqueous solution, they dissociate and ionize to give hydrogen ions. A strong acid ionizes completely; a weak acid ionizes partially.

In this case, HBr, being a strong acid, would ionize completely in water to yield H+ and Br- ions. However, HF, being a weak acid, would ionize only to a limited extent: some of the HF molecules will ionize into H+ and F- ions, but most of the HF will remain undissociated.

pH is, by definition, a measurement of the concentration of hydrogen ions in solution (pH = -log[H+]). A higher concentration of hydrogen ions gives a lower pH, while a lower concentration of hydrogen ions gives a higher pH. At 25 °C, a pH of 7 indicates a neutral solution; a pH less than 7 indicates an acidic solution; and a pH greater than 7 indicates a basic solution.

If we have equal concentrations of HBr and HF, then the HBr solution will have a greater concentration of hydrogen ions in solution than the HF solution. Consequently, the pH of the HBr solution will be less than the pH of the HF solution.

Choice A is incorrect: Strong acids like HBr dissociate completely, not partially.

Choice B is incorrect: While the initial concentration of HBr and HF are the same, the H+ concentration in the HBr solution is greater. Since pH is a function of H+ concentration, the pH of the two solutions cannot be the same.

Choice C is correct: A greater H+ concentration gives a lower pH value. The HBr solution has the greater H+ concentration. Thus, the pH of the HBr solution would be less than that of the HF solution.

Choice D is incorrect for the reason why choice C is correct.

Classify each of these reactions. A single reaction may fit more than one classification. Ba ( ClO 3 ) 2 ⟶ BaCl 2 + 3 O 2 Ba(ClO
Lena [83]

Answer: a) Ba(ClO_3)_2\rightarrow BaCl_2+3O_2:  Decomposition

b) NaNO_2+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+HNO_2: double displacement

c) CaO+CO_2\rightarrow CaCO_3: Synthesis (Combination)

d) ZnSO_4+Mg\rightarrow MgSO_4+Zn: redox

Explanation:

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

Ba(ClO_3)_2\rightarrow BaCl_2+3O_2

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place.

NaNO_2+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+HNO_2

Synthesis reaction is a chemical reaction in which two reactants are combining to form one product.

CaO+CO_2\rightarrow CaCO_3

Redox reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which oxidation and reduction takes place in one single reaction. The oxidation number of one element increases and the oxidation number of other element decreases.

ZnSO_4+Mg\rightarrow MgSO_4+Zn

As an electron gains energy, it becomes excited and jumps to a lower energy level?
Maru [420]
