Answer:

Adding water to an acid or base will change its pH. Water is mostly water molecules so adding water to an acid or base reduces the concentration of ions in the solution. When an acidic solution is diluted with water the concentration of H+ ions decreases and the pH of the solution increases towards 7. To make the pH change by 1, a tenfold dilution is required (eg adding 9 cm3 of water to 1 cm3 acid). The acid is becoming less acidic. Similarly, when an alkali is diluted with water the concentration of OH- ions decreases. This causes the pH of the alkali to fall towards 7, making the solution less alkaline as more water is added.

Calculate the mass of water vapour present in a room of volume 400 m3 that contains air at 27 °C on a day when the relative humi

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Mass of water = 6251. 706g or 6.25Kg

Explanation:

Relative humidity = (actual vapor pressure/saturation vapor pressure) * 100%

Actual vapor pressure, Pw = relative humidity * saturation vapor pressure

Pw = 60% * (35.6 *0.001)atm = 0.0216atm

Note: 1mbar = 0.001atm

Using the ideal gas equation: PV=nRT; where P = Pw= 0.02136atm, V= (400

* 1000)dm^3, R= 0.082 atmdm^3/kmol, T= (27+273)K, n = number of moles

Note: 1m^3 = 1000dm^3,R is the molar gas constant.

Making n subject of the formula, n = PV/RT

n= (0.02136 * 400000)/(0.082 * 300) = 347.317 moles

Mass (g) = number of moles (n) * molar mass

molar mass of water=18g

Mass of water = 347.317 * 18 = 6251. 706g or 6.25Kg
