Answer:

Hydrogen ions are spontaneously generated in pure water by the dissociation (ionization) of a small percentage of water molecules into equal numbers of hydrogen (H+) ions and hydroxide (OH–) ions. The hydroxide ions remain in solution because of their hydrogen bonds with other water molecules; the hydrogen ions, consisting of naked protons, are immediately attracted to un-ionized water molecules and form hydronium ions (H30+). By convention, scientists refer to hydrogen ions and their concentration as if they were free in this state in liquid water.

2H2O⇋H3O++OH−

The concentration of hydrogen ions dissociating from pure water is 1 × 10-7 moles H+ ions per liter of water. The pH is calculated as the negative of the base 10 logarithm of this concentration:

pH=−log[H+]

The negative log of 1 × 10-7 is equal to 7.0, which is also known as neutral pH. Human cells and blood each maintain near-neutral pH.

pH Scale

The pH of a solution indicates its acidity or basicity (alkalinity). The pH scale is an inverse logarithm that ranges from 0 to 14: anything below 7.0 (ranging from 0.0 to 6.9) is acidic, and anything above 7.0 (from 7.1 to 14.0) is basic (or alkaline ). Extremes in pH in either direction from 7.0 are usually considered inhospitable to life. The pH in cells (6.8) and the blood (7.4) are both very close to neutral, whereas the environment in the stomach is highly acidic, with a pH of 1 to 2.

Alla [95]

Answer:

Explanation:

The principle applied is the Markovnikoff's rule which states that when hydrogen chloride adds to a double bond, the hydrogen atoms join to the carbon that already has the most hydrogen atoms bonded to it. The rule wa postulated by a russian chemist known as Vladimir Markovnikoff.

In the markovnikoff's rule, there are sveral conditions that must be met, one of them is that no free radicals must be involved.

The reaction and the structure of the product is as shown in the attachment.

A solution of NaOH is titrated with H2SO4. It is found that 20.05 mL of 0.3564 M H2SO4 solution is equivalent to 43.42 mL of NaO

Darya [45]

Answer : The concentration of NaOH is, 0.336 M

Explanation:

To calculate the concentration of base, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is $H_2SO_4$

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

$n_1=2\\M_1=0.3564M\\V_1=20.05mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=?\\V_2=43.42mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$2\times 0.3564M\times 20.05mL=1\times M_2\times 43.42mL$

$M_2=0.336M$

Thus, the concentration of NaOH is, 0.336 M

What is formula mass of glucose C2H12O6

Delvig [45]

Glucose has empirical formula C6H12O6. So its formula mass can be calculated from that: 12.01x6 + 1.008x12 + 16.00x6 = 72.06 + 12.096 + 96.00 = 180.156 which needs to be rounded to two decimals to get 180.16 g/mole<span>.</span>

Phosphorus pentachloride decomposes according to this equation. PCl5(g) equilibrium reaction arrow PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) An equilibri

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

PCl₅ = 0.03 X 208 = 6.24g

PCl₃ = 0.05 X 137 =6.85 g

Cl₂ = 0.03X71 = 2.13 g

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant will remain the same irrespective of the amount of reactant taken.

Let us calculate the equilibrium constant of the reaction.

Kc= $\frac{[PCl_{3}][Cl_{2}]}{[PCl_{5}]}$
