Calculate the concentration of H3O+ in a solution that contains 5.5 × 10-5 M OH- at 25°C. Identify the solution as acidic, basic

, or neutral.

Explanation:

To calculate [H3O+] in the solution we must first find the pH from the [ OH-]

That's

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 - pOH

To calculate the pOH we use the formula

pOH = - log [OH-]

And [OH-] = 5.5 × 10^-5 M

So we have

pOH = - log 5.5 × 10^ - 5

pOH = 4.26

Since we've found the pOH we can now find the pH

That's

pH = 14 - 4.26

pH = 9.74

Now we can find the concentration of H3O+ in the solution using the formula

pH = - log H3O+

9.74 = - log H3O+

Find the antilog of both sides

<h2> H3O+ = 1.8 × 10^ - 10 M</h2>

The solution is basic since it's pH lies in the basic region.

Hope this helps you

Ag2S + Al(s) = Al2S3 + Ag(s) (unbalanced)
Dovator [93]

Answer:

1. 0.97 V

2. Al_(_s_)/Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)~//~Ag^+~_(_a_q_)/Ag_(_s_)

Explanation:

In this case, we can start with the <u>half-reactions</u>:

Ag^+~_(_a_q_)->~Ag_(_s_)

Al_(_s_)~->~Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)

With this in mind we can <u>add the electrons</u>:

Ag^+~_(_a_q_)+~e^-~->~Ag_(_s_)  <u>Reduction</u>

Al_(_s_)~->~Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)+~3e^-~ <u>Oxidation</u>

The reduction potential values for each half-reaction are:

Ag_2S~+~e^-~->~Ag_(_s_)~+~S^-^2~_(_a_q_) - 0.69 V

Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)+~2e^-~->~Al_(_s_) -1.66 V

In the aluminum half-reaction, we have an oxidation reaction, therefore we have to <u>flip</u> the reduction potential value:

Al_(_s_)~->~Al^+^3~+~2e^-~ +1.66 V

Finally, to calculate the overall potential we have to <u>add</u> the two values:

1.66 V - 0.69 V = <u>0.97 V</u>

For the second question, we have to keep in mind that in the cell notation we put the anode (the oxidation half-reaction) in the left and the cathode (the reduction half-reaction) in the right. Additionally, we have to use "//" for the salt bridge, therefore:

Al_(_s_)/Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)~//~Ag^+~_(_a_q_)/~Ag_(_s_)

I hope it helps!

the diagram below shows DNA molecules. What do the broken lines connected to hydrogen atoms represent in this diagram?
uranmaximum [27]

Answer is: hydrogen bonds.

Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen atom (H), covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as flourine (F), oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N) atoms.

According to the principle of base pairing hydrogen bonds could form between adenine and thymine (two hydrogen bonds between this nucleobases) and guanine and cytosine (three hydrogen bonds between this nucleobases).

Adenine and guanine are purine derivatives and thymine and cytosine are pyrimidine derivates.

What is the volume of 0.250 m hydrochloric acid required to react completely with 20.0 ml of 0.250 m ca(oh)2?
Soloha48 [4]
The balanced equation for the above neutralisation reaction is as follows;
Ca(OH)₂ + 2HCl ----> CaCl₂ + 2H₂O
Stoichiometry of Ca(OH)₂ to HCl is 1:2
number of Ca(OH)₂ moles reacted - 0.250 mol/L x 20.0 x 10⁻³ L = 5.00 x 10⁻³ mol
according to molar ratio of 1:2
number of HCl moles required = 2 x number of Ca(OH)₂ moles reacted
number of HCl moles = 5.00 x 10⁻³ x 2 = 10.0 x 10⁻³ mol
molarity of HCl solution - 0.250 M
there are 0.250 mol  in volume of 1 L
therefore 10.0 x 10⁻³ mol in - 10.0 x 10⁻³ mol  / 0.250 mol/L = 40.0 mL 
40.0 mL of 0.250 M HCl is required
