What is the pH and pOH of a 2.2 x 10^-3 HBr solution?

Answer:

The pH and pOH of a 2.2*10⁻³ HBr solution is 2.66 and 11.34  respectively.

Explanation:

pH - short for hydrogen potential - is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. So the pH is a parameter that indicates the concentration of hydrogen ions [H]⁺ that exist in a solution.

The pH is expressed as the negative base 10 logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration. This is represented by:

pH= - log [H⁺]

pH is measured on a scale of 0 to 14. On this scale, a pH value of 7 is neutral, which means that the substance or solution is neither acidic nor alkaline. A pH value of less than 7 means that it is more acidic, and a pH value of more than 7 means that it is more alkaline.

HBr is a strong acid. Then, in aqueous solution it will be  totally dissociated. So the proton concentration is equal to the initial concentration of  acid:

[H⁺]= [HBr]= 2.2*10⁻³ M

So:

pH= - log (2.2*10⁻³)

pH= 2.66

On the other hand, pOH is a measure of the concentration of hydroxyl ions in a solution. The sum of pH and pOH equals 14:

pH + pOH= 14

2.66 + pOH= 14

pOH= 14 - 2.66

pOH= 11.34

<u><em>The pH and pOH of a 2.2*10⁻³ HBr solution is 2.66 and 11.34  respectively.</em></u>

1. It has been suggested that pain results from a change in the pH of solutions that surround nerves in the body.
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

According to the question, it is established that the pain caused by a lot of insect bites owes to the acidity of the insect bites.

If this is true, then there is an urgent need to neutralize the acidic insect bite using a basic substance.

Hence the pH of the creams used to treat insect bites should be basic(having a high pH).

2. The compound methene can not exist because it is supposed to be derived from the alkane called methane which contains only one carbon atom.

In order to form an alkene, there must be a double bond between two carbon atoms. This is not possible because there is only one carbon atom in the hypothetical methene. Hence,  a compound named methene cannot exist.

An iron chloride compound contains 55.85 grams of iron and 106.5 grams of chlorine. What is the most likely empirical formula fo
mart [117]

Answer:

FeCl_{3}

Explanation:

Moles =\frac {Given\ mass}{Molar\ mass}

mass of Fe = 55.85 g

Molar mass of Fe = 55.85 g/mol

<u>Moles of Fe = 55.85 / 55.85 = 1</u>

mass of Cl = 106.5 g

Molar mass of Cl = 35.5 g/mol

Moles of Cl = 106.5 / 35.5 = 3

Taking the simplest ratio for Fe and Cl as:

1 : 3

The empirical formula is = FeCl_{3}

Where does lava in volcanoes come from?
Stella [2.4K]
Magma can push through holes or cracks in the crust of the volcano, causing a volcanic eruption. Which is when magma flows or erupts onto earth's surface, which is what you call lava (whenever it goes onto the earths surface).
