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+.

According to the Brinsted -Lowry. what is an acid ? what is a base ? ​
sasho [114]

Answer:

According to the Brønsted definition, an acid is a substance capable of donating a proton, and a base is a substance capable of accepting a proton. ... The species giving up the proton is HCl, an acid. The species accepting the proton is water, the base. The species Cl- is the conjugate base of HCl.

In an experiment, a 0.5297 g sample of diphenylacetylene (C14H10) is burned completely in a bomb calorimeter. The calorimeter is
V125BC [204]

Answer:

the Molar heat of  Combustion  of  diphenylacetylene (C_{14}H_{10})  = -6.931 *10^3 \ kJ/mol

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of diphenylacetylene (C_{14}H_{10}) = 0.5297 g

Molar Mass of diphenylacetylene (C_{14}H_{10}) = 178.21 g/mol

Then number of moles of diphenylacetylene (C_{14}H_{10})  = \frac{mass}{molar \ mass}

= \frac{0.5297  \ g }{178.24 \  g/mol}

= 0.002972 mol

By applying the law of calorimeter;

Heat liberated by 0.002972 mole of diphenylacetylene (C_{14}H_{10})  = Heat absorbed by H_2O + Heat absorbed  by the calorimeter

Heat liberated  by 0.002972 mole of diphenylacetylene (C_{14}H_{10})  =  msΔT + cΔT

= 1369 g  × 4.184 J g⁻¹°C⁻¹ × (26.05 - 22.95)°C + 916.9 J/°C (26.05 - 22.95)°C

= 17756.48 J + 2842.39 J

= 20598.87 J

Heat liberated by 0.002972 mole of diphenylacetylene (C_{14}H_{10})  = 20598.87 J

Heat liberated by 1 mole of  diphenylacetylene (C_{14}H_{10}) will be = \frac{20598.87 \ J}{0.002972 \ mol}

= 6930979.139 J/mol

= 6930.98 kJ/mol

Since heat is liberated ; Then, the Molar heat of  Combustion  of  diphenylacetylene (C_{14}H_{10})  = -6.931 *10^3 \ kJ/mol
