B) hydration is the chemical process
Answer:
[H₃O⁺] = 0.05 M & [OH⁻] = 2.0 x 10⁻¹³.
Explanation:
- HNO₃ is completely ionized in water as:
<em>HNO₃ + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + NO₃⁻.</em>
- The concentration of hydronium ion is equal to the concentration of HNO₃:
[H₃O⁺] = 0.05 M.
∵ [H₃O⁺][OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴.
<em>∴ [OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴/[H₃O⁺] </em>= 10⁻¹⁴/0.05 = <em>2.0 x 10⁻¹³.</em>
A solvent is something that can have something else dissolved within it and turn into a homogenous solution, while the solute is that something else that can be dissolved into the solvent. Usually, the solvent is found in greater amount because most (except for rare cases) solvents have a saturation point that is below the equal-mass point.
