What is the concentration of H^ + at apH = 2 ? Mol / L What is the concentration of H^ + ions at apH = 6 ? Mol/L How many more H

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The concentration of hydrogen ion at pH is equal to 2 : $= [H^+]=0.01 mol/L$

The concentration of hydrogen ion at pH is equal to 6 : $[H^+]'=0.000001 mol/L$

There are 0.009999 more moles of $H^+$ ions in a solution at a pH = 2 than in a solution at a pH = 6.

Explanation:

The pH of the solution is the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration in an aqueous solution.

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

The hydrogen ion concentration at pH is equal to 2 = [H^+]

$2=-\log [H^+]\\$

$[H^+]=10^{-2}M= 0.01 M=0.01 mol/L$

The hydrogen ion concentration at pH is equal to 6 = [H^+]

$6=-\log [H^+]\\\\$

$[H^+]=10^{-6}M= 0.000001 M= 0.000001 mol/L$

Concentration of hydrogen ion at pH is equal to 2 = $[H^+]=0.01 mol/L$

Concentration of hydrogen ion at pH is equal to 6 = $[H^+]'=0.000001 mol/L$

The difference between hydrogen ion concentration at pH 2 and pH 6 :

$= [H^+]-[H^+]' = 0.01 mol/L- 0.000001 mol/L = 0.009999 mol/L$

Moles of hydrogen ion in 0.009999 mol/L solution :

$=0.009999 mol/L\times 1 L=0.009999 mol$

There are 0.009999 more moles of $H^+$ ions in a solution at a pH = 2 than in a solution at a pH = 6.

Why are the temperatures on each of the other terrestrial planets more extreme than earth?

netineya [11]

Other terrestrial planets have more extreme temperatures mainly because of their atmospheres
Explanation:
for example the atmosphere of Venus is composed mainly of carbon dioxide, this carbon dioxide traps the heat or energy from the sun and makes the planet have higher temperatures. where on mars the atmosphere is very thin so it takes in lots of heat and doesn't keep it in very well so it gets very hot and very cold
