Answer is: detergent is basic.

pH (potential of hydrogen) is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity an aqueous solution.

When pH is less than seven (pH<7), solution is acidic.

When is equal seven (pH = 7), solution is neutral.

When pH is greater than seven (pH > 7), like in this example, solution is basic.

I believe that the detergent is basic. A basic solution or substance has a pH range from 8 to 10. <span>A </span>basic solution<span> is a liquid mixture that has a pH level greater than 7, which typically means there are a greater number of hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions. Hope this helps.</span>

II. Ionic Equations

mario62 [17]

Answer:

Complete ionic: $\begin{aligned}& \rm 2\, Ag^{+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-} \, (aq) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, Cl^{-}\, (aq) \\ & \rm \to 2\, AgCl\, (s) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-}\, (aq)\end{aligned}$ .

Net ionic: $\begin{aligned}& \rm Ag^{+}\, (aq) + Cl^{-}\, (aq) \to AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}$ .

Explanation:

Start by identifying species that exist as ions. In general, such species include:

Soluble salts.
Strong acids and strong bases.

All four species in this particular question are salts. However, only three of them are generally soluble in water: $\rm AgNO_3$ , $\rm CaCl_2$ , and $\rm Ca(NO_3)_2$ . These three salts will exist as ions:

Each $\rm AgNO_3\, (aq)$ formula unit will exist as one $\rm Ag^{+}$ ion and one $\rm {NO_3}^{-}$ ion.
Each $\rm CaCl_2$ formula unit will exist as one $\rm Ca^{2+}$ ion and two $\rm Cl^{-}$ ions (note the subscript in the formula $\rm CaCl_2\!$ .)
Each $\rm Ca(NO_3)_2$ formula unit will exist as one $\rm Ca^{2+}$ and two $\rm {NO_3}^{-}$ ions.

On the other hand, $\rm AgCl$ is generally insoluble in water. This salt will not form ions.

Rewrite the original chemical equation to get the corresponding ionic equation. In this question, rewrite $\rm AgNO_3$ , $\rm CaCl_2$ , and $\rm Ca(NO_3)_2$ (three soluble salts) as the corresponding ions.

Pay attention to the coefficient of each species. For example, indeed each $\rm AgNO_3\, (aq)$ formula unit will exist as only one $\rm Ag^{+}$ ion and one $\rm {NO_3}^{-}$ ion. However, because the coefficient of $\rm AgNO_3\, (aq)\!$ in the original equation is two, $\!\rm AgNO_3\, (aq)$ alone should correspond to two $\rm Ag^{+}\!$ ions and two $\rm {NO_3}^{-}\!$ ions.

Do not rewrite the salt $\rm AgCl$ because it is insoluble.

$\begin{aligned}& \rm 2\, Ag^{+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-} \, (aq) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, Cl^{-}\, (aq) \\ & \rm \to 2\, AgCl\, (s) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-}\, (aq)\end{aligned}$ .

Eliminate ions that are present on both sides of this ionic equation. In this question, such ions include one unit of $\rm Ca^{2+}$ and two units of $\rm {NO_3}^{-}$ . Doing so will give:

$\begin{aligned}& \rm 2\, Ag^{+}\, (aq) + 2\, Cl^{-}\, (aq) \to 2\, AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}$ .

Simplify the coefficients:

$\begin{aligned}& \rm Ag^{+}\, (aq) + Cl^{-}\, (aq) \to AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}$ .

It has been suggested that hydrogen gas obtained by the decomposition of water might be a substitute for natural gas (principall

Aleks [24]

Answer:

Hydrogen: -141 kJ/g

Methane: -55kJ/g

The energy released per gram of hydrogen in its combustion is higher than the energy released per gram of methane in its combustion.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of the energy, the sum of the heat released by the combustion and the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter is zero.

Qc + Qb = 0

Qc = -Qb [1]

We can calculate the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter using the following expression.

Q = C . ΔT

where,

C is the heat capacity

ΔT is the change in the temperature

<h3>Hydrogen</h3>

Qc = -Qb = -C . ΔT = -(11.3 kJ/°C) . (14.3°C) = -162 kJ

The heat released per gram of hydrogen is:

$\frac{-162kJ}{1.15g} =-141 kJ/g$

<h3>Methane</h3>

Qc = -Qb = -C . ΔT = -(11.3 kJ/°C) . (7.3°C) = -82 kJ

The heat released per gram of methane is:

$\frac{-82kJ}{1.50g} =-55kJ/g$

Calculate the following quantity: molarity of a solution prepared by diluting 45.45 mL of 0.0404 M ammonium sulfate to 550.00 mL

dybincka [34]

Answer:

$M_2=3.34x10^{-3}M$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since a dilution process implies that the moles of the solute remain the same before and after the addition of diluting water, we can write:

$M_1V_1=M_2V_2$

Thus, since we know the volume and concentration of the initial sample, we compute the resulting concentration as shown below:

$M_2=\frac{M_2V_2}{V_1} =\frac{45.45mL*0.0404M}{550.00mL}\\\\M_2=3.34x10^{-3}M$

Best regards!

What type of substance reacts with limestone (CaCO3) and produces carbon dioxide gas?

Anestetic [448]

Acids react with calcium carbonate and more specifically carbonate to form carbon dioxide. An acid will give protons to the carbonate anion to produce carbonic acid which then decomposes into carbon dioxide and water. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
