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.

A sealed helium balloon with an internal pressure of 1.00 atm and a volume of 4.50 L at 293 K is moved. What volume will the bal

bixtya [17]

Answer:

6.48 L

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying

PV/T = P'V'/T'......................... Equation 1

P = initial pressure of the helium balloon, V = Initial volume of the balloon, T = Initial temperature of the balloon, P' = Final pressure of the balloon, T' = Final temperature of the balloon, V' = Final volume of the balloon.

make V' the subject of the equation

V' = PVT'/P'T......................... Equation 2

Given: P = 1 atm, V = 4.5 L, T' = 253 K, T= 293 K, P' = 0.6 atm

Substitute these values into equation 2

V' = (4.5×1×253)/(0.6×293)

V' = 1138.5/175.8

V' = 6.48 L

Answer:

$P_{CCl_4}=52.43torr$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, sine the solution of this problem require the application of the Raoult's law, assuming heptane is a nonvolatile solute, so we can write:

$P_{CCl_4}=x_{CCl_4}P_{CCl_4}^{vap}$
