Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Matter as applied to chemical reactions says that matter is neither created nor distroyed, only changed in form. This implies that the mass of substances going into a reaction process must equal the mass of products generated during the reaction process.

Empirically,

∑ mass reactants = ∑ mass products

One can test this idea after balancing a chemical equation by determining the sum of formula weights of reactants and products; then compare. If reaction was properly balanced, the total mass reactants = total mass of products.

Example:

Combustion of Methane =>  CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g)   =>  CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)

Equation Weights =>             16amu + 64amu <=> 44amu +  36amu

Mass Reactants = Mass Products  => 80amu <=> 80amu.

*amu = atomic mass units => sum of atomic weights of elements

What is the H+ concentration when pH is 2, 6, 7, 8, and 12?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

pH = - log (H+)

So the pH of 1 x 10^-7 M solution is 7.

I'm sorry but I'm not sure about what the other units mean, so Im not sure of the answer to those.

If you convert the other units to the form  1 x 10^-n  then the pH will be n.
