<em>Calculate the pH of the following substances formed during a volcanic eruption:
</em>
<em>• Acid rain if the [H +] is 1.9 x 10-5
</em>
<em>• Sulfurous acid if [H +] = 0.10
</em>
<em>• Nitric acid if [H +] = 0.11</em>
<em />
<h3>Further explanation </h3>
pH is the degree of acidity of a solution that depends on the concentration of H⁺ ions. The greater the value the more acidic the solution and the smaller the pH.
pH = - log [H⁺]
![\tt pH=-log[1.9\times 10^{-5}]\\\\pH=5-log1.9\\\\pH=4.72](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctt%20pH%3D-log%5B1.9%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-5%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CpH%3D5-log1.9%5C%5C%5C%5CpH%3D4.72)
![\tt pH=-log[10^{-1}]\\\\pH=1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctt%20pH%3D-log%5B10%5E%7B-1%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CpH%3D1)
![\tt pH=-log[11\times 10^{-2}]\\\\pH=2-log~11=0.959](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctt%20pH%3D-log%5B11%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-2%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CpH%3D2-log~11%3D0.959)
Answer:
(II) only correctly rank the bonds in terms of increasing polarity.
Explanation:
Bond polarity is proportional to difference in electronegativity between bonded atoms.
Atoms Electronegativity Bond Electronegativity difference
Cl 3.0 Cl-F 1.0
Br 2.8 Br-Cl 0.2
F 4.0 Cl-Cl 0
H 2.1 H-C 0.4
C 2.5 H-N 0.9
N 3.0 H-O 1.4
O 3.5 Br-F 1.2
I 2.7 I-F 1.3
Si 1.9 Cl-F 1.0
P 2.2 Si-Cl 1.1
Si-P 0.3
Si-C 0.6
Si-F 2.1
So, clearly, order of increasing polarity : O-H > N-H > C-H
So, (II) only correctly rank the bonds in terms of increasing polarity
Answer:
C.)One electron in each p orbital
Explanation:
In a P-sublevel with 3 electrons, they should be arranged with one electron going into each p-orbitals.
This is in accordance with the Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity.
The rule states that "electrons go into degenerate orbitals or sub-levels(p,d and f) singly before paring up".
Since the p-orbital is 3-fold degenerate with a capacity to accommodate a maximum number of 6 electrons, given 3 electrons, they will follow the Hund's rule in order to fill the orbitals.
So one electron will go in each p - orbitals easily.
The postulate of Dalton's atomic theory which is a result of the law of conservation of mass is: Atoms are indivisible particles, which can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
