<span>Elements and compounds are substances because we know exactly what is in them. Elements are only one kind of atom and have a symbol. Compounds have a formula telling us exactly how many of what kind of atom make up that compound

Solutions, homogeneous mixtures, not only contain 2 compounds, but we do not know how much of each. We can make salt water with one grain of salt in a cup of water or a drop of water in a cup of salt. Mixtures do not have a formula because they can be any concentration. </span>

The pOH of a solution is 10.75. What is the concentration of OH– ions in the solution?. A. –1.031 M. B. 1.778 x 10–11 M. C. 5.62
zloy xaker [14]
We are given the pOH of the solution of 10.75. pOH is the property of the solution that is related to the OH ion concentration of the solution. THe formula to be followed is pOH = -log (OH); OH- = 10^-pOH. In this case, OH-  = 10^-10.75 equal to B. 1.778 x 10^-11 M

Define an arrhenius base and describe properties of bases. use an example to explain how an arrhenius base will behave in water.
murzikaleks [220]

An Arrhenius base is a molecule that when dissolved in water will break down to yield an OH^- or hydroxide in solution.

<h3>What is Arrhenius base?</h3>

An Arrhenius base is a compound that increases the OH− ion concentration in aqueous solution.

An Arrhenius base is a substance that, when dissolved in an aqueous solution, increases the concentration of hydroxide, or OH^-, ions in the solution.

Bases Properties

Arrhenius bases that are soluble in water can conduct electricity.

Bases often have a bitter taste and are found in foods less frequently than acids. Many bases, like soaps, are slippery to the touch.

Bases also change the colour of indicators. Red litmus turns blue in the presence of a base (see figure below), while phenolphthalein turns pink.

Some bases react with metals to produce hydrogen gas.

Acids (pH < 7.0) react with bases (pH > 7.0) to produce a salt and water. When equal moles of an acid and a base are combined, the acid is neutralized by the base. The resulting mixture will have a more neutral pH.

An Arrhenius acid is a substance that dissociates in water to form hydrogen ions or protons. In other words, it increases the number of H+ ions in the water. In contrast, an Arrhenius base dissociates in water to form hydroxide ions, OH^-.

Example, sodium hydroxide, is added to an aqueous solution. NaOH dissociates into sodium, Na^+, and hydroxide, OH^-, ions.

A student has a solution with a pH of 7. The student adds HF, hydrogen floride, to the solution, hoping to increases the pH of t
Allushta [10]
Low pH = high acidity.
HF has a very low pH, so when added to a solution, it will lower the pH of the solution and therefore make it more acidic. So the answer should be B.

What is the mass of Al₂O3 that will contain 10 kg of aluminium?​
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

1 mole of Al2O3 = 102 grams

1 mole of Al2 = 54 grams

102 grams of Al2O3 contains = 54 gram of Al2

10kg of Al2O3 contains = (54/102)*10000g Al2

= 5294.11 g Al2 or 5.29411 kg

Write the chemical equation for fot the reaction between mgcl2 and the soap you preapred
In-s [12.5K]
Soap is the sodium or potassium salt of long chain of fatty acid. Fatty acids when treated with NaOH or KOH forms Soap. This process is called as Saponification. Examples of Soap are as follow,

                                     1.  Sodium Stearate C₁₇H₃₅COONa
                                   
                                     2.  Potassium Oleate C₁₇H₃₃COOK

Reaction of Soap with MgCl₂;

When Soap is treated with MgCl₂ or CaCl₂ it forms insoluble precipitate called S.C.U.M. The reactions with MgCl₂ are as follow,

                2C₁₇H₃₅COONa + MgCl₂  -------->  2C₁₇H₃₅COOMg  + 2 NaCl

                2C₁₇H₃₃COOK   + MgCl₂  -------->  2C₁₇H₃₅COOMg  + 2 KCl

These reaction are often found in hard water. And this reaction decreases the effectiveness of soap.
