Answer:
probably because most of our food comes from animals-
Explanation:
The strong Base with a pH of 12 is reduced by 4 units upon being added with solution Y. If you added a strong acid to the strong base, all ions are present in the solution, yes? So every OH- is neutralised by every H+ for example, meaning the resultant pH should be 7. The resultant pH is only 8 however, so solution Y must be a <em>weak acid </em>only!
Answer:
11.4
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
- Concentration of the base (Cb): 0.300 M
- Basic dissociation constant (Kb): 1.8 × 10⁻⁵
Step 2: Write the dissociation equation
NH₃(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)
Step 3: Calculate the concentration of OH⁻
We will use the following expression.
![[OH^{-} ]=\sqrt{Kb \times Cb } = \sqrt{1.8 \times 10^{-5} \times 0.300 } = 2.3 \times 10^{-3} M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BOH%5E%7B-%7D%20%5D%3D%5Csqrt%7BKb%20%5Ctimes%20Cb%20%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%7B1.8%20%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-5%7D%20%5Ctimes%200.300%20%7D%20%3D%202.3%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-3%7D%20M)
Step 4: Calculate the pOH
We will use the following expression.
![pOH =-log[OH^{-} ]= -log(2.3 \times 10^{-3} M) = 2.6](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pOH%20%3D-log%5BOH%5E%7B-%7D%20%5D%3D%20-log%282.3%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-3%7D%20M%29%20%3D%202.6)
Step 5: Calculate the pH
We will use the following expression.

Answer:
Anhydrous sodium carbonate is stable to heat and does not decompose even when it is heated to redness. This is because sodium carbonate salt on heating with acids react to release carbon dioxide.
