What are the concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions in a solution with pH 2.6?

Deffense [45]3 years ago

Answer:

The concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions in a solution with pH 2.6 are 2.51*10⁻³ and 3.98*10⁻¹² respectively.

Explanation:

pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of an aqueous solution. The pH indicates the concentration of hydrogen ions present in certain solutions. Mathematically it is defined as the opposite of the base 10 logarithm or the negative logarithm of the activity of hydrogen ions, whose equation is

pH= -log [H⁺]

So, being pH= 2.6 and replacing in the definition of pH:

2.6= -log [H⁺]

[H^{+} ]=10^{-2.6}

[H⁺]=2.51*10⁻³

pOH is a measure of the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH⁻). The sum between the pOH and the pH results in 14:

pOH + pH= 14

So, being pH= 2.6:

pOH + 2.6= 14

pOH= 14 - 2.6

pOH= 11.4

The pOH is defined as the negative logarithm of the activity of the hydroxide ions. That is, the concentration of OH⁻ ions:

pOH= - log [OH⁻]

Being pOH= 11.4 and replacing

11.4= -log [OH⁻]

[OH^{-} ]=10^{-11.4}

[OH⁻]= 3.98*10⁻¹²

<u><em>The concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions in a solution with pH 2.6 are 2.51*10⁻³ and 3.98*10⁻¹² respectively.</em></u>

. The freezing point of an aqueous solution containing a nonelectrolyte solute is – 2.79 °C. What is the boiling point of this s
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Boiling point of the solution is 100.78°C

Explanation:

This is about colligative properties.

First of all, we need to calculate molality from the freezing point depression.

ΔT = Kf . m . i

As the solute is nonelectrolyte, i = 1

0°C - (-2.79°C) = 1.86 °C/m . m . 1

2.79°C / 1.86 m/°C = 1.5 m

Now, we go to the boiling point elevation

ΔT = Kb . m . i

Final T° - 100°C  =  0.52 °C/m . 1.5m . 1

Final T° =  0.52 °C/m . 1.5m . 1  + 100°C → 100.78°C

Completely reacting 150.0 g of a substance with oxygen releases 395.1 J of energy. How much energy would be released if 450.0 g
MrMuchimi
To solve this problem we just need to use the rule of three:
150g..................395.1J
450g................xJ

x = 450*395.1/150 = 1185,3J

450.0 g of the substance completely reacted with oxygen will produce 1.1853 kJ(<span>kiloJoule</span>)
