Answer:

Explanation:

Subscripts. We use subscripts in chemical formulae to indicate the number of atoms of an element present in a molecule or formula unit.

Answer:

A molecular formula tells us what atoms and how many of each type of atom are present in a molecule.

Explanation:

If only one atom of a specific type is present, no subscript is used.

For atoms that have two or more present, a subscript is written after the symbol for that atom.

Molecular formulas do not indicate how the atoms are arranged in the molecule.

What is the concentration of H3O+ ions in saliva if [OH-] = 4.22 x 10-10 M? Provide the pH and the classification of this sample

OLEGan [10]

pH=4.625

The classification of this sample of saliva : acid

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The water equilibrium constant (Kw) is the product of concentration

the ions:

Kw = [H₃O⁺] [OH⁻]

Kw value at 25° C = 10⁻¹⁴

It is known [OH-] = 4.22 x 10⁻¹⁰ M

then the concentration of H₃O⁺:

$\tt 10^{-14}=4.22\times 10^{-10}\times [H_3O^+]\\\\(H_3O^+]=\dfrac{10^{-14}}{4.22\times 10^{-10}}=2.37\times 10^{-5}$

pH=-log[H₃O⁺] $\tt pH=5-log~2.37=4.625$

Saliva⇒acid(pH<7)
