Answer:

Its pH value decreases.

Explanation:

∵ pH = - log[H₃O⁺]

As, concentration of hydronium ions increases, pH value decreases and the solution be more acidic.

So, the right choice is: Its pH value decreases.

Answer: Its pH value decreases.

Explanation: pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydronium ion concentration. Acids have pH ranging from 1 to 6.9 and bases have pH ranging from 7.1 to 14.

$pH=-\log [H_3O^+]$

$pH=log\frac {1}{H_3O^+}$

Thus as pH and $H_3O^+$ are inversely related, a solution having lower pH will have more amount of $H_3O^+$ concentration. And a solution having more pH will have less amount of $H_3O^+$ concentration.

Thus when concentration of hydronium ions increases, the pH of the solution decreases and the solution becomes more acidic.

Answer:

Explanation:

Alcohols are organic molecules characterized majorly by the presence of the OH group in their molecule. The OH group is majorly responsible for several of their characteristics. This include the formation of hydrogen bonds between alcohol molecules. While this makes them more inorganic than most organic compounds, comparatively the hydrogen bonding formed in alcohols is not as strong as that which is present in water.

The higher strength of the hydrogen bonding is responsible for some comparable properties. While water boils at a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius, alcohol boils at a temperature of 78 degrees Celsius. This is an evidence to the fact that hydrogen bonding in alcohol is less stronger that that in water.

(part 1 of 3) Copper reacts with silver nitrate through a single replacement. If 1.29 g of silver are produced from the reaction

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the described chemical reaction, we first write the corresponding equation to obtain:

$Cu+2AgNO_3\rightarrow 2Ag+Cu(NO_3)_2$

Thus, we proceed as follows:

Part 1 of 3: here, since the molar mass of silver and copper (II) nitrate are 107.87 and 187.55 g/mol respectively, and the mole ratio of the former to the latter is 2:1, we can set up the following stoichiometric expression:

$m_{Cu(NO_3)_2}=1.29gAg*\frac{1molAg}{107.87gAg}*\frac{1molCu(NO_3)_2}{2molAg}*\frac{187.55gCu(NO_3)_2}{1molCu(NO_3)_2} \\\\m_{Cu(NO_3)_2}=1.12gCu(NO_3)_2$

Part 2 of 3: here, the molar mass of copper is 63.55 g/mol and the mole ratio of silver to copper is 2:1, the mass of the former that was used to start the reaction was:

$m_{Cu}=1.29gAg*\frac{1molAg}{107.87gAg}*\frac{1molCu}{2molAg}*\frac{63.55gCu)_2}{1molCu} \\\\m_{Cu}=0.380gCu$
