Answer; If a chemical has a pH of 3, how could you change its pH value to be more basic? Adding water to a chemical will dilute the acid, thus lowering the pH value to more basic.
It is because in that time science was not established. This is, the experimentation to test hypotheses, which is a fundamental part of the scientific method, was not applied.
Atoms can not be seen, then they could only reflect or philosophize on this matter. This method is not able to give good answers to so complicated scientific matters.
Answer:
pH = 8.34
Explanation:
The equilbriums of the amphoteric HCO₃⁻ (Ion of NaHCO₃) are:
H₂CO₃ ⇄ <em>HCO₃⁻</em> + H⁺ Ka1 <em>-Here, HCO₃⁻ is acting as a base-</em>
<em>HCO₃⁻</em>⇄ CO₃²⁻ + H⁺ Ka2 <em>-Here, is acting as an acid-</em>
Where Ka1 = 4.3x10⁻⁷ and Ka2 = 4.8x10⁻¹¹. As pKa = -log Ka:
pKa1 = 6.37; pKa2 = 10.32
As the pH of amphoteric salts is:
pH = (pKa1 + pKa2) / 2
<h2>pH = 8.34</h2>
Answer:
0.0344 moles and 1.93g.
Explanation:
Molarity is defined as the ratio between moles of a solute (In this case, KOH), and the volume. With molarity and volume we can solve the moles of solute. With moles of solute we can find mass of the solute as follows:
<em>Moles KOH:</em>
15.2mL = 0.0152L * (2.26mol / L) = 0.0344moles
<em>Mass KOH:</em>
0.0344 moles * (56.11g/mol) = 1.93g of KOH
