Why does the pH of the acid solution initially increase very slowly when metal is first added to the acid solution, but graduall

y increase at a faster rate as the reaction proceeds to completion?
I thought it may be because the metal is just then being completely dissolved but that didn't make sense because we were instructed to wait until the first little scoop of the metal powder was dissolved before adding the next bit.

When a metal reacts with an acid, say HCl, it reacts with the H+ atoms of the acid to produce H2 gas and chloride ions. Since pH is the negative log of H+ concentration, then it would sensibly decrease because it was used up. The metal oxide would form a coating over the metal. However, as the reaction proceeds, the acid corrodes the metal and exposes a purer surface removing the coating. Thus increasing the concentration of H+.

Answer:

Mercury responds to temperatures differently than water. When mercury is cold, the molecules bunch together, making it seem to be less liquid, and the opposite happens during heat.

What is the weight in grams of 3.36 × 10Ƴ molecules of copper sulfate (CuSOÁ)?
spin [16.1K]
Molar mass ( CuSO₄) = 159.609 g/mol

159.609 g ----------------- 6.02 x 10²³ molecules
         ? g ------------------ 3.36 x 10²³ molecules

mass = ( 3.36 x10²³) x 159.609 / 6.02 x 10²³

mass = 5.36 x 10²⁴ / 6.02 x 10²³

mass = 8.90 g 

hope this helps!
