<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D. It decreases and the pH increases.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • pH is a measure of the hydorgen ion concentration of a solution. Solutions with a high concentration of hydrogen ions have a low pH and solutions with a low concentrations of H+ ions have a high pH.
  • <em><u>[H+] and [OH-] are inversely related. Therefore; As the concentration of H+ increases the pH decreases. Since the concentrations of H+ and OH- are inversely proportional, as one goes up, the other goes down. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Therefore, an increase in OH- concentration will correspond to an increase in pH and a decrease in the concentration of H+.</u></em>

Answer : The correct option is, (A) It increases and the pH increases.

Explanation :

pH : It is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

Mathematical expression is,

pH=-\log [H^+]

pH is indirectly proportional to the concentration of hydrogen ion.

As per question, when the concentration of hydrogen ion decrease that means the the value of pH increases. When the value of pH increases that means the solution is basic and the concentration of hydroxide ion increases.

Hence, as the [H^+] in a solution decreases, the [OH^-] increases and pH also increases.

If a sample of air in a school container was heated, would the percentage of oxygen in the air increase, decrease, or remain unc
Viktor [21]

Answer:

increase

Explanation:

Let's suppose we have a sample of air in a closed container. We heat the container and we want to predict what would happen to the pressure.

According to Gay-Lussac's law, the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.

Thus, if we increased the temperature of the air by heating it, its pressure would increase.

If a sample of air in a closed container was heated, the total pressure of the air would increase.

Chromium metal is plated onto a car bumper at a current of 10.0 amperes for 100 seconds. The plating bath contains chromium in t
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

0.54g of Cr

Explanation:

Current (I) = 10A

Time (t) = 100s

Molecular mass of Cr = 51.996 amu

Faraday's first law of electrolysis states that

The mass of the substance (m) of a given substance deposited at an electrode is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity or charge (Q) passed

m = nQ

M = mass of the substance

n = electrochemical constant

Q = charge passed through it

Q = IT

Q = (10 * 100) = 1000C

1 moles = molarmass = Faraday's constant (96500C)

Molar mass = Faraday's constant (96500C)

51.996 g = 96500C

How many grams will be liberated with 1000C

51.996g = 96500C

Xg = 1000C

X = (1000 * 51.996) / 96500

X = 51996 / 96500

X = 0.5388g = 0.54 g of Cr will be deposited
