The correct answer is a. This is because the pH of a solution is defined as -log10(concentration of H+ ions). An inverse logarithmic scale such as this means that a solution with a lower concentration of H+ ions will have a higher pH than one with a higher concentration. Therefore we know that the pH of the second sample will be higher than the first.

Since the logarithmic scale has the base 10, a change by 1 on the scale is a consequence of multiplication/division of the H+ concentration by a factor of 10. As the scale is inverse, this means that a decrease of concentration by factor 1000 is equivalent to increasing the pH by (1000/10) = 3.

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

$303,882.84649 kg\times 3=9.12\times 10^5 kg$ of carbon dioxide gas.

Explanation:

Average distance covered by Americans in a day= $4.0\times 10^9 km$

1 day = 24 × 60 min = 1,440 min

Average distance covered by Americans in a minute= $\frac{4.0\times 10^9 km}{1,440}=2,777,777.78 km$

Average mileage of the car = 20 miles/gal = 32.18 km/gal

1 mile = 1.609 km

20 miles = 20 × 1.609 km = 32.18 km

Volume of gasoline used in minute = $\frac{2,777,777.78 km}{32.18 km/gal}$

$V=86,320.00 gal$

$V=86,320.00\times 3.7854 L$

(1 L = 1000 mL)

$V=86,320.00\times 3.7854 \times 1000 mL=326,755,748.91 mL$

Mass of 86,320.00 gallons of gasoline = m

Density of the gasoline = d = $0.93 g/cm^3=0.93 g/mL$

$1 mL= 1 cm^3$

$m=d\times V=0.93 g/mL\times 326,755,748.91 mL$

$m=303,882,846.49 g=303,882.84649 kg$

1 kilogram of gasoline gives 3 kg of carbon dioxde gas .

Then 303,882.84649 kg of gasoline will give :

$303,882.84649 kg\times 3=9.12\times 10^5 kg$ of carbon dioxide gas.

An exponent of "2" means that if we double the concentration of the reactant the rate doubles as well Exponents in rate laws are

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

- False.

- True.

Explanation:

Hello, for each statement we state:

- An exponent of "2" means that if we double the concentration of the reactant the rate doubles as well.

FALSE because considering a rate law like:

$-r=kC^2$

The exponent of "2" powers the concentration to the second power, not doubles the rate law, thus, if C is 3, for k=1, r will be -9. On the other hand if the rate is like:

$-r=kC$

The rate will be -3, that is why the rate is not doubled when the "2" in concentration is present.

- Exponents in rate laws are based on the coefficients from the balanced equation.

FALSE because for nonelemental chemical reactions, the exponents do not match with each species' stoichiometric coefficients in the rate law.

- The rate constant, k, takes into account the effect of activation energy and temperature on the reaction.

TRUE, since the Arrhenius equation allows us to prove the effect of the activation energy and the temperature:

$k=Aexp(-\frac{Ea}{RT})$

- Differential rate laws allow us to compare concentration and time.

TRUE as they are given like:

$\frac{1}{\nu _A} \frac{dC_A}{dt} =\frac{1}{\nu _B} \frac{dC_B}{dt} =...$

Best regards.
