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.

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:

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.

How does the presence of a catalyst affect the enthalpy of a reaction? Group of answer choices 1. It depends on whether you are
Otrada [13]

Answer:

Option 3. The catalyst does not affect the enthalpy change (\Delta H_\text{rxn}) of a reaction.

Explanation:

As its name suggests, the enthalpy change of a reaction (\Delta H_\text{rxn}) is the difference between the enthalpy of the products and the reactants.

On the other hand, a catalyst speeds up a reaction because it provides an alternative reaction pathway from the reactants to the products.

In effect, a catalyst reduces the activation energy of the reaction in both directions. The reactants and products of the reaction won't change. As a result, the difference in their enthalpies won't change, either. That's the same as saying that the enthalpy change \Delta H_\text{rxn} of the reaction would stay the same.

Refer to an energy profile diagram. Enthalpy change of the reaction \Delta H_\text{rxn} measures the difference between the two horizontal sections. Indeed, the catalyst lowered the height of the peak. However, that did not change the height of each horizontal section or the difference between them. Hence, the enthalpy change of the reaction stayed the same.

1. A scientific hypothesis can become a theory if ______.
Rus_ich [418]
<span>1. A scientific hypothesis can become a theory if the hypothesis is tested extensively and competing hypothesis are eliminated. A scientific hypothesis is a proposed explanation made on the basis of reasoning without any assumption. For hypothesis to be termed a scientific hypothesis, it has to be something that can be supported or refuted through carefully crafted experimentation or observation.

  2. A preliminary untested explanation that tries to explain how or why thing happen in the manner observed is a scientific hypothesis. A primary trait of a hypothesis is that something can be tested and that those tests can be replicated. A hypothesis is often examined by multiples scientists to ensure the integrity and veracity of the experiment. The process can take years, and in many cases hypothesis do not go any further in the scientific method as it is difficult to gather sufficient supporting evidence. </span>

A 4-g mass of NaOH is dissolved in 5mL of water.
lapo4ka [179]
Molar mass NaOH = 40.0 g/mol

Volume in liters of solution :

5 mL / 1000 => 0.005 L 

number  of moles :

4 / 40 => 0.1 moles

M = n / V

M = 0.1 / 0.005

 = 20 mol/L or 20 M

hope this helps!
