Mg+Cl2--> MgCl2
Magnesium plus chlorine equals magnesium chloride
Answer : The correct option is, (D) 100 times the original content.
Explanation :
As we are given the pH of the solution change. Now we have to calculate the ratio of the hydronium ion concentration at pH = 5 and pH = 3
As we know that,
![pH=-\log [H_3O^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-%5Clog%20%5BH_3O%5E%2B%5D)
The hydronium ion concentration at pH = 5.
![5=-\log [H_3O^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=5%3D-%5Clog%20%5BH_3O%5E%2B%5D)
..............(1)
The hydronium ion concentration at pH = 3.
![3=-\log [H_3O^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3%3D-%5Clog%20%5BH_3O%5E%2B%5D)
................(2)
By dividing the equation 1 and 2 we get the ratio of the hydronium ion concentration.
![\frac{[H_3O^+]_{original}}{[H_3O^+]_{final}}=\frac{1\times 10^{-5}}{1\times 10^{-3}}=\frac{1}{100}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5BH_3O%5E%2B%5D_%7Boriginal%7D%7D%7B%5BH_3O%5E%2B%5D_%7Bfinal%7D%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-5%7D%7D%7B1%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-3%7D%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B100%7D)
![100\times [H_3O^+]_{original}=[H_3O^+]_{final}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=100%5Ctimes%20%5BH_3O%5E%2B%5D_%7Boriginal%7D%3D%5BH_3O%5E%2B%5D_%7Bfinal%7D)
From this we conclude that when the pH of a solution changes from a pH of 5 to a pH of 3, the hydronium ion concentration is 100 times the original content.
Hence, the correct option is, (D) 100 times the original content.
Explanation:
The more reactive element replaces less reactive element during chemical reaction.
Since, potassium is more reactive than beryllium. When potassium reacts with beryllium choride, it replaces beryllium and forms potassium chloride and produces beryllium.
