Answer:

Storage solution; deionized water; stabilizes.

Explanation:

The pH scale measures the concentration of hydrogen ions in acidic and alkaline solutions.

In chemistry, it literally means power of hydrogen ions and it is a measure of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions in a particular solution, thus specifying the acidity, neutrality or basicity of chemical solutions.

Mathematically, the pH of a solution is given by;

pH = -log_{10}(H^{+})

Hence, a solution with a pH of 7 is neutral. Also, a solution with a pH below 7 is acidic but basic (alkaline) if it's pH is above 7.

A pH meter can be defined as a scientific instrument or device designed and developed for the measurement of the hydrogen-ion concentration in water-based solutions, in order to determine their level of acidity or alkanility.

When using a pH meter to take a measurement, you should keep it in a storage solution until it is needed. Also, a deionized water should be used to rinse the pH meter and gently pat dry.

Furthermore, the pH meter should be placed in a given sample solution and a reading of the measurement taken when the pH of the solution stabilizes.

A 50.00 g sample of an unknown metal is heated to 45.00°C. It is then placed in a coffee-cup calorimeter filled with water. The
AysviL [449]

Answer:- Heat lost by the metal is 279.45 cal.

Solution:- This type of problems are solved by using the concept, heat given = - heat taken

Metal temperature is decreasing from 45.00 degree C to 11.08 degree C. It means the heat is lost by the metal and this heat lost by metal is gained by water and the calorimeter to raise their temperature.

the equation we use is, q=mc\Delta T .

where, q is the heat energy, m is mass, c is specific heat and \Delta T is change in temperature.

Combined mass of calorimeter and water is 250.0 g and the specific heat is \frac{1.035cal}{g.^0C} .

\Delta T  for calorimeter and water (combined) = 11.08 - 10.00 = 1.08 degree C

\Delta T  for metal = 11.08 - 45.00 = -33.92 degree C

let's plug in the values in the above equation and calculate heat gained by combined system.

q=250.0g*\frac{1.035cal}{g.^0C}*1.08^0C

q = 279.45 cal

So, the heat lost by the metal is 279.45 cal.

Which pair of compounds represents one Arrhenius acid and one Arrhenius base?
erica [24]

Answer: C. HNO3 and NaOH

Explanation:

Arrhenius acid produces hydogen ion (H+) when dissolved in water. An example of Arrhenius acid is HNO3.

Arrhenius base produces hydroxyl ion (OH-) when dissolved  water. An example of Arrhenius base is NaOH.

Propene. what does the name of this hydrocarbon tell you about its molecular structure?
seropon [69]
This name tells us that the molecule has three carbons and has a double bond in it.
pro means three carbons when talking about hydrocarbons
ene means the presence of at least 1 double bond

ane means all single bonds and yne means at least one triple bond which means that propane is a three carbon molecule with only single bonds connecting them while propyne has three carbons with a triple bond between 2 of the carbons.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.
