What is the relationship between the concentration of the hydronium and hydroxide ion and pH in any water solution?

Chemistry

Answer:

The <u>concentration of hydronium ions</u> and the pH value is related by the equation: <u> pH=-Log[H+]</u>

Explanation:

We have two different concepts pH and concentration of <u>hydronium ions</u>. Lets start with the hydronium ion.

An hydronium ion is a species that is produced by an <u>acid</u>:

HA~->~H^+~+~A^-

Aditionally, we can have the production of <u>hydroxide ions</u>. The subtances that have the capacity to produce this ions are called <u>"bases"</u>:

BOH~->~B^+~+~OH^-

Now we can continue "pH"

The <u>pH is a scale</u> that indicates if the substance is and <u>acid</u> (higher concentration of H^+), <u>neutral</u> (equal amounts of H+ and OH^-) or <u>basic</u> (higher amount of OH^-).

Finally, the "pH" is calculated with the concentration of the hydronium ions (

H^+), the letter <u>"p" is "-Log"</u>, therefore:

pH=-Log[H^+]&#10;

I hope it helps!

Compare the evaporation of a contained liquid with that of an uncontained liquid.
vekshin1

Answer: all other conditions equal, the rate evaporation of a contained liquid will be slower than the rate of evaporation of an uncontained liquid.


Justification:


1) The rate of evaporation increases as the surface area of the liquid (relative to the whole content) increases. This is, the greater the surface is the faster the evaporation.


2) That is so because the higher the surface of the liquid the more the number of particles in the liquid that are in contact with the surrounding air and so the more the particles will escape from the liquid to the air (which is what evaporation is).


3) A liquid contained will take the form of the container, so part of the liquid wil remain below the surface, while an uncontained liquid will spread all over the surface and so pratically all the liquid is in contact witht the air surrounding it.
