Are beverages usually acidic or basic? Why is this?

Chemistry
1 answer:
lions [1.4K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

ACIDIC

Explanation:

Usually beverages contain carbonated water. Carbonated water is the water containing dissolved carbon dioxide gas.

The carbon dioxide gas (CO₂) when dissolved in water produces carbonic acid (H₂CO₃), which makes the drinks acidic in nature.

H₂O(l) + CO₂(g) → H₂CO₃(aq)

This makes the pH of the drinks around 3 - 4.

Therefore, the beverages are usually acidic and not basic.

A student followed the procedure of this experiment to determine the solubility product of zinc(II) iodate, Zn(IO3)2. Solutions
Fed [463]

Answer:

Explanation:

Complete the table below and determine the solubility product constant.

[Zn(NO₃)₂] 0, M Initial 0.226, 0.101 0.0452, 0.0118

[KIO₃] 0, M Titrant 0.200, 0.200, 0.200, 0.200

V₀, mL of Zn(NO₃)₂100.0, 100.0, 100.0, 100.0

V, mL of KIO₃ titrant 12.9, 12.4, 13.0, 18.3

What needs to be determined are the following for each column/sample

V0 + V, mL

[Zn²⁺]  + [IO³⁻]    ⇄  [Zn²⁺][IO³⁻]2

log [Zn²⁺][IO³⁻]2

\frac{\sqrt{Zn^{2+}}}{1 + \sqrt{Zn^{2+}}}

Then there's the determination of Ksp itself

log Ksp =  Ksp of Zn(IO3)2 =

Considering this, which of the ion products is closest to Ksp, and why?

Finally, the titration volumes for the first three samples don't vary greatly. However the last sample is considerably larger. Why is this to be expected?

The attached figures shed more light on the solution to this problem

How would you explain why liquids solidify when they are cooled???
Ostrovityanka [42]
When liquids are subjected to lower temperatures, the kinetic energy of the molecules would decrease accordingly making them closer to each other and leading to a decrease in volume until the substance is solidified. Hope this answers the question.
