The correct answer is B.
Strong acids completely dissociates to give hydrogen ions . Weak bases can only partially dissociate to give hydroxide ions .
Therefore when equal amounts of acid and base are mixed, while Acid is completely dissociated and gives out hydrogen ions but base only gives out a fraction of hydroxide ions.
Therefore number of hydrogen ions in the solution will be higher than hydroxide ions, resulting in an acidic pH. Therefore pH <7
Answer:
A.
Explanation:
A decomposition reaction is when one reactant (the substances to the left of the arrow in the reaction) breaks apart into two or more products (the substances to the right of the arrow).
Because KClO3 is breaking down into KCl and O2, it's a decomposition reaction.
Answer:
1.7 mL
Explanation:
<em>A chemist must prepare 550.0 mL of hydrochloric acid solution with a pH of 1.60 at 25 °C. He will do this in three steps: Fill a 550.0 mL volumetric flask about halfway with distilled water. Measure out a small volume of concentrated (8.0 M) stock hydrochloric acid solution and add it to the flask. Fill the flask to the mark with distilled water. Calculate the volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid that the chemist must measure out in the second step. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.</em>
Step 1: Calculate [H⁺] in the dilute solution
We will use the following expresion.
pH = -log [H⁺]
[H⁺] = antilog - pH = antilog -1.60 = 0.0251 M
Since HCl is a strong monoprotic acid, the concentration of HCl in the dilute solution is 0.0251 M.
Step 2: Calculate the volume of the concentrated HCl solution
We want to prepare 550.0 mL of a 0.0251 M HCl solution. We can calculate the volume of the 8.0 M solution using the dilution rule.
C₁ × V₁ = C₂ × V₂
V₁ = C₂ × V₂/C₁
V₁ = 0.0251 M × 550.0 mL/8.0 M = 1.7 mL
4 grams , mass cannot be created or destroyed. it has to be the same on both sides of the equation
