Acidic and basic are two extremes that describe chemicals, just like hot and cold are two extremes that describe temperature. Mixing acids and bases can cancel out their extreme effects, much like mixing hot and cold water can even out the water temperature. A substance that is neither acidic nor basic is neutral.
The character of acidic, basic and neutral is defined by the concentration of hydrogen ions [H+](mol/L). A solution with a concentration of hydrogen ions higher than 10-7mol/L is acidic, and a solution with a lower concentration is alkaline (another way to say basic). Using the formula, pH=-log[H+], a pH of 7 is neutral, a pH less than 7 is acidic, and a pH greater than 7 is basic. As one can see from this formula, ten times a given concentration of hydrogen ions means one unit lower in terms of pH value (higher acidity), and vice versa.
The formula for ph is given by:pH=−log10[H+]
What is the concentration of H+ ions at a pH = 8?
In calculating for the concentration of hydrogen ion, the formula is given by:[H+]=(10)^(-pH)
Solution:
[H+]=(10)^(-8)[H+]=0.00000001 mol/L
What is the concentration of OH– ions at a pH = 8?pH+pOH=148+pOH=14pOH=6
[OH-]=(10)^(-pOH)[OH-]=(10)^(-6)[OH-]=0.000001
What is the ratio of H+ ions to OH– ions at a pH = 2?The ratio is 0.00000001:0.000001 which is equal to 0.01
The metallic pan iis most likely going to be used on a stove.
The stove is heating something, and the conductive metallic pan will, well, conduct that heat throughout the entire body of the pan. Doing this will spread the heat to the handle, burning your hands.
Both wood and plastic are insulators, and they do not conduct heat or electricity. They will insulate your hands and protect them from the heat.
Answer:
Explanation:
The first law of Thermodynamics is known as Conservation because it explains that energy is always maintained within a closed system and cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, this is observed when there is no longer change in temperature in a system. Mainly because the energy is not being transferred to and from another system. Without this transfer of energy, the energy itself gets conserved within the system and the temperature no longer fluctuates.
Answer:
RbF
mgo
nh4cl
because electrons are lost by and element forming a cation and gained by the other element forming an anion and held together by electrostatic forces
The majority of the mass of the atom is located in the nucleus. Remember that the nucleus contains both protons and neutrons and therefore, most of the mass of the atom.
