Answer: False

Explanation:

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydronium ion concentration present in the solution.

$pH=-log[H_3O^+]$

If the solution has low hydronium ion concentration than hydroxide ion concentration, the pH will be high and the solution will be basic. The pH range of basic solution is 7.1 to 14

If the solution has high hydronium ion concentration than hydroxide ion concentration, the pH will be low and the solution will be acidic. The pH range of acidic solution is 0 to 6.9.

The solution having pH equal to 7 is termed as neutral solution.

Thus the given statement is False.

An insulated piston-cylinder device contains 1 L of saturated liquid water at pressure of 150 kPa. An electric resistance heater

miskamm [114]

Answer:

Explanation:

In this problem,

we will determine the enthalpy at the end of heat input and we get the condition is the super heated state.

so the entropy change will be due to latent heat at 150 kPa and also due to temperature change at the super heated state.

All the temperature, enthalpy is evaluated with the help of the steam table.

mass is calculated with the help of a specific volume at initial condition.

What can be said about a reaction with H = 62.4 kJ/mol and S = 0.145 kJ/(mol·K)?

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

At 430.34 K the reaction will be at equilibrium, at T > 430.34 the reaction will be spontaneous, and at T < 430.4K the reaction will not occur spontaneously.

Explanation:

1) Variables:

G = Gibbs energy
H = enthalpy
S = entropy

2) Formula (definition)

G = H + TS

=> ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

3) conditions

ΔG < 0 => spontaneous reaction
ΔG = 0 => equilibrium
ΔG > 0 non espontaneous reaction

4) Assuming the data given correspond to ΔH and ΔS

ΔG = ΔH - T ΔS = 62.4 kJ/mol + T 0.145 kJ / mol * K

=> T = [ΔH - ΔG] / ΔS

ΔG = 0 => T = [ 62.4 kJ/mol - 0 ] / 0.145 kJ/mol*K = 430.34K

This is, at 430.34 K the reaction will be at equilibrium, at T > 430.34 the reaction will be spontaneous, and at T < 430.4K the reaction will not occur spontaneously.

This is a mixture in which two or more substances are so completely blended that is looks like one substance.

Olin [163]

Solution. because the substances can't go back to their original form. like kool aid, when its mixed you cant separate the powder and the water again.

A solution of 0.0470 M HCl is used to titrate 26.0 mL of an ammonia solution of unknown concentration. The equivalence point is

DanielleElmas [232]

The pH at equivalence point is 12.46

At equivalence point, number of moles of acid, n equals number of moles of base, n'

So, n = n'

CV = C'V' where

C = concentration of acid (HCl) = 0.0470 M,
V = volume of acid = 16.0 mL,
C' = concentration of base (ammonia solution) and
V' = volume of base = 26.0 mL.

<h3>Concentration of ammonia solution</h3>

Making C' subject of the formula, we have

C' = CV/V'

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

C' = CV/V'

C' = 0.0470 M × 16.0 mL/26.0 mL

C' = 0.752 MmL/26.0 mL

C' = 0.0289 M

<h3>The concentration of acid at equivalence point</h3>

We know that the ion-product of water Kw is

Kw = [H⁺][OH⁻] = where

[H⁺] = concentration of HCl at equivalence point,
[OH⁻] = C' = concentration of ammonia solution = 0.0289 M and
Kw = 1.01 × 10⁻¹⁴

Making [H⁺] subject of the formula, we have

[H⁺} = Kw/[OH⁻]

[H⁺] = 1.01 × 10⁻¹⁴/0.0289

[H⁺] = 34.95 × 10⁻¹⁴

[H⁺] = 3.495 × 10⁻¹³

<h3>pH at equivalence point</h3>

Since pH = -㏒[H⁺]

pH = -㏒[3.495 × 10⁻¹³]

pH = -㏒[3.495] + (-㏒10⁻¹³)

pH = -㏒[3.495] + [-13(-㏒10)]

pH = 13 - 0.5434

pH = 12.4566

pH ≅ 12.46

So, the pH at equivalence point is 12.46
