Answer : the hydrogen ion concentrations for pH = 7.35 and pH = 7.45 are 4.46 x 10⁻⁸ M and 3.54 x 10⁻⁸ M respectively.
When the pH of a solution is less than 7, the hydrogen ion concentration is higher and therefore the solution is acidic.
On the other hand, when the pH of a solution is greater than 7, hydroxide ion concentration is higher and the solution acts as a base.
The normal pH range of blood is given as 7.35 - 7.45 which is greater than 7. That means blood is slight basic in nature.
Let us find hydroxide ion concentration of blood.
![pOH = - log [OH-]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pOH%20%3D%20-%20log%20%5BOH-%5D)
![[OH-] = 10^{-6.65}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BOH-%5D%20%3D%2010%5E%7B-6.65%7D)
![[OH-] = 2.24 \times 10^{-7}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BOH-%5D%20%3D%202.24%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-7%7D)
Ionic product of water is written as,
![[H+] [OH-] = 1 \times 10^{-14}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH%2B%5D%20%5BOH-%5D%20%3D%201%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-14%7D)
Let us plug in the calculated value of [OH-]
![[H+] = \frac{1 \times 10^{-14}}{2.24 \times 10^-7} = 4.46 \times 10^{-8} M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH%2B%5D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-14%7D%7D%7B2.24%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E-7%7D%20%3D%204.46%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-8%7D%20M)
The hydrogen ion concentration for pH = 7.35 is 4.46 x 10⁻⁸ M
Calculation of [H+] for pH = 7.45
pOH = 6.55
[OH-] = 2.82 x 10⁻⁷
![[H+] = \frac{1 \times 10^{-14}}{2.82 \times 10^-7} = 3.54 \times 10^{-8} M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH%2B%5D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-14%7D%7D%7B2.82%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E-7%7D%20%3D%203.54%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-8%7D%20M)
Similarly, for pH = 7.45, we get hydrogen ion concentration of 3.54 x 10⁻⁸ M.
Answer:
b) It produces electrical current spontaneously.
Explanation:
Cells capable of converting chemical energy to electrical energy and vice versa are termed Electrochemical cells. There are two types of electrochemical cells viz: Galvanic or Voltaic cells and Electrolytic cells. Voltaic cell is an elctrochemical cell capable of generating electrical energy from the chemical reaction occuring in it.
The voltaic cell uses spontaneous reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions to generate ions in a half cell that causes electric currents to flow. An half cell is a part of the galvanic cell where either oxidation or reduction reaction is taking place. Hence, the spontaneous production of electric currents is true about Voltaic/Galvanic cells.
Answer:
A piece of gold foil was hit with alpha particles, which have a positive charge. Most alpha particles went right through. This showed that the gold atoms were mostly empty space. Some particles had their paths bent at large angles. A few even bounced backward. The only way this would happen was if the atom had a small, heavy region of positive charge inside it.
c) positively charged and relatively small.
Answer:
Reduction.
Explanation:
Fluorine atom has gained an electron and undergone reduction because when an atom gains electron it reduced itself thus acting as an oxidant to oxidize another atom .
For exam sodium fluoride NaF is a salt when sodium fluoride undergo breakdown at that time the fluoride atom gains an electron and is converted to F- anion by the process called reduction .
