Vitek1552 [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

pH increases

Explanation:

The ammonia, NH₃, reacts with water, H₂O, as follows:

NH₃ + H₂O → NH₄⁺ + OH⁻

That means when NH₃ is added to water, some OH⁻ is produced. As [H⁺] is inversely proportional to [OH⁻], the increase of OH⁻ causes the decrease og H⁺. And when H⁺ decreases,

pH increases

artcher [175]
Nitrogen fixation is the process that makes atmospheric nitrogen available to plants by mutualistic and free-living bacteria. The process is undertaken by the rhizobium bacteria that live in root roots of plants such as legumes. The mutualistic relationship is that the plant supplies the bacteria with a habitat in which to live, water, and nutrients, and the bacteria supply nitrogen for making plant proteins.

What is the pH of a 3.5 x 10-^6 M solution of HCl?
Svetach [21]

Answer:

5.46

Explanation:

From the question,

pH this can be defined as the acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

The expression for pH is given as

pH = -log(H⁺)...................... Equation 1

Where H⁺ = Hydrogen ion of HCL

Given: H⁺ = 3.5×10⁻⁶ M

Substitite this value into equation 1

pH = -log(3.5×10⁻⁶)

pH = 5.46

Hence the pH of HCl is 5.46
