Answer:

The concentration of Hydrogen Cation is:

Pure water is<u> NEUTRAL</u>

Explanation:

pH = It is negative logarithm of activity of Hydrogen ions.

$pH = - log(a_{[H^{+}]})$

Activity = concentration for dilute solutions

There are three types of solution based on pH:

1. Acidic solution : Those solution which have pH between 0 to 7 or less than 7 are acidic in nature . They turns blue litmus red.They contain more H+ ions than OH- ions

2. Basic : Those solution which have pH value greater that 7 of between 7 to 14 are basic in nature . They turn red litmus blue.They contain more OH- ions then H+ ions

3 . Neutral : Those solution which have pH = 7 are neutral . They are neither acidic nor basic in nature .They have equa;l concentration of H+ and OH- ions in the solution.

The given water has pH = 7 .This means it is neutral and has low H+ ion concentration in solution. The H+ ion are :

$10^{-7}$ M in water.

OH- =

$10^{-7}$ M in water

So overall neutral

The empirical formula : CH₃

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

2.5 g sample

2.002 g Carbon

Required

The empirical formula

Solution

Mass of Hydrogen :

= 2.5 - 2.002

= 0.498

Mol ratio C : H :

C : 2.002/12 = 0.167

H : 0.498/1 = 0.498

Divide by 0.167 :

C : H = 1 : 3

Calculate the number of moles of aluminum, sulfur, and oxygen atoms in 4.00 moles of aluminum sulfate, al2(so4)3. express the nu

bagirrra123 [75]

<span>To calculate the number of moles of aluminum, sulfur, and oxygen atoms in 4.00 moles of aluminum sulfate, al2(so4)3. We will simply inspect the "number" of aluminum, sulfur, and oxygen atoms available per one mole of the compound. Here we have Al2(SO4)3, which means that for every mole of aluminum sulfate, there are 2 moles of aluminum, 3 (1 times 3) moles of sulfur, and 12 (4x3) moles of oxygen. Since we have four moles of Al2(SO4)3 given, we simply multiply 4 times the moles present per 1 mole of the compound. So we have 4x2 = 8 moles of Al, 4x3 = 12 moles of sulfur, and 4x12 = 48 moles of oxygen.

So the answer is:
8,12,48

Consider the reaction below. NH4+ + H2O mc013-1.jpg NH3 + H3O+ Which is an acid-conjugate base pair? NH4+ and NH3 NH4+ and H3O+

juin [17]

NH4+ and NH3 are an acid-conjugate base pair, since NH4+ is an acid, while NH3 is its conjugate base (since it is without the H+).
H2O and H3O+ can also be considered an acid-conjugate base pair, since H3O+ is an acid, while H2O would be its conjugate base. (But if only 1 answer is to be selected, it should be the NH4+ and NH3)
NH4+ and H3O+ are both acids, and both H2O and NH3 can be considered bases.
