Why is water considered to be neutral?

Chemistry
2 answers:
deff fn [24]3 years ago

Explanation:

Because it has a pH of 7, water is considered to be neutral. It is neither an acid nor a base but is the reference point for acids and bases.

Answer: Clara’s answer is essentially correct; but a little more might help to make the point. To Discuss pH, the concentration of [H+] is given in this way: pH = - log [H+]. In pure water, that concentration is 1 x 10^-7, the log of which is -7, the opposite is 7, thus the pH = 7. The [OH-] is also equal to the [H+], and is an ideal way of saying pure “water is equally as acidic as it is basic”, and is therefore neutral.

The same reaction is begun with an initial concentration of 0.05 M O3 and 0.02 M NO. Under these conditions, the reaction reache
Ivahew [28]
The balanced equation of the reaction is:

O3(g) + NO (g) → O2 (g) + NO2 (g)

Then the ratios of reaction is 1 mol O3 : 1 mol NO : 1 mol O2 : 1 mol NO2

If you have initially 0.05 M of O3 and 0.02 M of NO, the reaction will end when all the NO is consumed.

The by the stoichiometry 0.02 mol of O3 will be consumed in 8 seconds.

And the rate of reaction is change in concetration divided by the time.

The change in concentration in O3 is 0.02 M

Then, the rate respect O3 is 0.02 M / 8 seconds = 0.0025 M/s

In the correctly balanced equation, what are the coefficients for H2, Cl2, and HCl (respectively)? ___H2 + ___Cl2 → ___HCl 1,1,1
VARVARA [1.3K]
Hello mayaredalen. I do believe the exact corrected balanced equation will be that of 2 H2+2 Cl2=> 4 HCl. I'm really sorry if I gave you any wrong information. It's best to make sure before importing such a balance equation to your assignment.

An iron nail rusts when exposed to oxygen. According to the following reaction, how many grams of iron(III) oxide will be formed
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

53.2

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

2Fe(s) + 3O₂(g) → Fe₂O₃

It means that 3 moles of oxygen form 1 mol of iron(III) oxide. The molar masses are: Fe = 55.8 g/mol and O = 16 g/mol. So

O₂ = 2x 16 = 32 g/mol

Fe₂O₃ = 2x55.8 + 3x16 = 159.6 g/mol

So, 32 g of O₂ corresponds to 1 mol of O₂. The stoichiometry calculus must be (always in moles):

3 mol of O₂ ------------------------ 1 mol of Fe₂O₃

1 mol of O₂  ------------------------ x

By a direct simple three rule:

3x = 1

x = 1/3 mol of Fe₂O₃

The mass is the molar mass multiplied by the number of moles, so:

m = 159.6x (1/3)

m = 53.2 g iron (III) oxide.
