An unknown solution has a pH of 7.2. Which of these chemicals is likely to cause the greatest decrease in the pH of the solution

when added to the solution? HF KOH NH3 HNO3
Chemistry
1 answer:
prohojiy [21]3 years ago

Answer:

HNO₃.

Explanation:

  • It is known that acids decrease the pH of the solution, while bases increase  the pH of the solution.

So, HF and HNO₃ decrease the pH of the solution as they produce H⁺ in the solution.

While, KOH and NH₃ increase the pH of the solution as they produce OH⁻ in the solution.

HNO₃ will decrease the pH of the solution greater than HF.

  • Because HNO₃ is strong acid that decomposes completely to produce H⁺ more than the same concentration of HF that is a weak acid which does not decomposed completely to produce H⁺.

Can you use molecular orbital theory to explain why fluorine is such a highly reactive gas?
vivado [14]
The F2 molecular orbital diagram shows 4e- are in the highest energy antibonding (destabilizing) molecular orbitals resulting in a bond order = 1.

Single bonds are easier to break and therefore more reactive. So the answer is yes.

A 27.3 g marble sliding to the right at 21.0 cm/s overtakes and collides with a 11.7 g marble moving in the same direction at 12
NISA [10]

Answer:

The answer to this is

The velocity of the 27.3Kg marble after collision is = 16.24 cm/s

Explanation:

To solve the question, let us list out the given variables and their values

Mass of first marble m1 = 27.3g

Velocity of the first marble v1 = 21.0 cm/s

Mass of second marble m2 = 11.7g

Velocity of the second marble v2 = 12.6 cm/s

After collision va1 = unknown and va2 = 23.7 cm/s

From Newton's second law of motion, force = rate of change of momentum produced

Hence m1v1 + m2v2 = m1va1 + m2va2 or

va1 = (m1v1 + m2v2 - m2va2)÷m2 or (720. 72-277.29)÷m1 → va1 = 16.24 cm/s

The velocity of the 27.3Kg marble after collision is = 16.24 cm/s

calculate the enthalpy change for converting 1.00 mol of liquid water at 100 C to water vapor at 145 degree celsius for water Δ
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

q1 = mCpΔT

    = 18.016g × 1.84J/g.K × (418.15-373.15)

     = 1491.72 J

q2 = n×ΔH vap

     =  1mol ×44.0kJ/mol

     = 44KJ

∴ qtotal = q1+ q2

             = 1.498kJ + 44.0kJ

             = 45.498KJ

Explanation: The heat flow can be separated into steps.all that is being observed at a constant pressure,the heat flow is equal to the enthalpy.

50.0 g of NaNO3 are dissolved into enough water to make 250 mL of solution. What is the molarity of this solution?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

2.35 M

Explanation:

Molarity is mol/L of solution. We have to convert the g to mol and the mL to L. G to mol uses the molar mass of the compound. The molar mass of NaNO₃ is 85.00g/mol.

50.0gNaNO3*\frac{1molNaNO3}{85.00gNaNO3} = 0.588molNaNO3

Then you have to convert mL to L.

250mL*\frac{1L}{1000mL} = 0.250L

Now divide the mol by the L.

\frac{0.588mol NaNO3}{0.250L} = 2.352 M

Round to the smallest number of significant figures = 2.35M

Iron Choose one: A. is alloyed with carbon and chromium to make stainless steel. B. was the first of the common metals (iron, al
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

A. is alloyed with carbon and chromium to make stainless steel.

Explanation:

Steel is an alloy formed mainly of iron and carbon but some other metals like chromium are also added in little amounts.

Is steel, the percentage of iron and carbon together is about 90% and the rest metals fall in the 10% part.

Although the cost of steel is low, it has a very high tensile strength and that's why it is used in tools, ships, buildings, trains and in various types of infrastructures.
