What are the temperatures
Ph= - log [H+] = -log 1.00× 10-7 = -(log 1 + log 10-7) = -( 0 + (-7log 10) = -( -7) = 7
So half life is the time taken for a sample to decay to half its original mass, its a constant and applies to any original mass, it could be 5g or 1kg, it will take the same amount of time for the original mass to half. In this case the half life is 3 days.
After 3 days the sample will be at half its original mass, now 50g.
Now we can treat the 50g as if its a new sample. After another 3 days (6 days in total) there will be half of 50g left, = 25g.
<span>The reason it will be 7 for some titrations is that when you titrates a strong acid with a strong base for example HCl and NaOH the salt formed is conjugate base of strong acid and will be a very weak base
That means that it cannot produce any OH^-1 and all the H+ has been converted to water.The only source of H+ or OH is water with a Ka of 10^-14 so the pH = -log [H+]=-log 10^-7 = 7
second reason is
When you titrates a weak acid with strong base at equivalence point
only a water solution of the conjugate base exists
CH3COOH + NaOH ----- Na+ CH3COO^-1 + H2O
Since the conjugate base is the conjugate base of a weak acid it will hydrolyze in water like so
for instance Na+ CH3COO^-1 + HCl---- CH3COOH + NaCl the equivalence point will be way BELOW 7 and in the case of above will be less than 5. So pH of 7 at equivalence point is only reached in strong acid strong base titrations.
hope this helps</span>
