Answer:

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

Explanation:

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

An hydronium ion is a species that is produced by an acid:

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

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

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

Now we can continue "pH"

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

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

$H^+$ ), the letter "p" is "-Log", therefore:

$pH=-Log[H^+]
$

I hope it helps!

What volume of oxygen gas is released at STP if 10.0 g of potassium chlorate is decomposed? (The molar mass of KClO3 is 122.55 g

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

KClO3(s)+Δ→KCl(s)+32O2(g)

Approx. 3L of dioxygen gas will be evolved.

Explanation:

We assume that the reaction as written proceeds quantitatively.

Moles of KClO3(s) = 10.0⋅g122.55⋅g⋅mol−1 = 0.0816⋅mol

And thus 32×0.0816⋅mol dioxygen are produced, i.e. 0.122⋅mol.

At STP, an Ideal Gas occupies a volume of 22.4⋅L⋅mol−1.

And thus, volume of gas produced = 22.4⋅L⋅mol−1×0.0816⋅mol≅3L

Note that this reaction would not work well without catalysis, typically MnO2.

A single replacement reaction could look like this:

2FeCl3 + 3Ba ➡️ 3BaCl2 + 2Fe

In this reaction, the barium is replacing the iron bound to the chlorine.

The combustion of palmitic acid is represented by the chemical equation: C16H32O2(s) + 23O2(g) → 16 CO2(g) + 16 H2O(l) The magni

solniwko [45]

Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The reaction is

$C_{16}H_{32}O_2(g) + 23O_2(g) \to 16 CO_2(g) + 16 H_2O(l)$

Generally $\Delta H = \Delta U + \Delta N* RT$

Here $\Delta H$ is the change in enthalpy

$\Delta U$ is the change in the internal energy

$\Delta N$ is the difference between that number of moles of product and the number of moles of reactant

Looking at the reaction we can discover that the elements that was consumed and the element that was formed is $O_2$ and $CO_2$ and this are both gases so the change would occur in the number of moles
