Answer:

a. 9.2

b. 4.4

c. 6.3

Explanation:

In order to calculate the pH of each solution, we will use the definition of pH.

pH = -log [H⁺]

(a) [H⁺] = 5.4 × 10⁻¹⁰ M

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 5.4 × 10⁻¹⁰ = 9.2

Since pH > 7, the solution is basic.

(b) [H⁺] = 4.3 × 10⁻⁵ M

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 4.3 × 10⁻⁵ = 4.4

Since pH < 7, the solution is acid.

(c) [H⁺] = 5.4 × 10⁻⁷ M

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 5.4 × 10⁻⁷ = 6.3

Since pH < 7, the solution is acid.

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given equations as as follows.

$H_{2}O_{2} + I^{-} \rightarrow H_{2}O + IO^{-}$ (slow)

$H_{2}O_{2} + IO^{-} \rightarrow H_{2}O + O_{2} + I^{-}$

Therefore, overall reaction equation will be as follows.

$2H_{2}O_{2} + I^{-} + IO^{-} \rightarrow 2H_{2}O + O_{2} + IO^{-} + I^{-}$

So, cancelling the spectator ions then the equation will be as follows.

$H_{2}O_{2} \rightarrow 2H_{2}O + O_{2}$

As, it is known that slow step of a reaction is the rate determining step. Therefore, rate law for the slow step will be as follows.

$H_{2}O_{2} + I^{-} \rightarrow H_{2}O + IO^{-}$

Rate law = $k[H_{2}O_{2}][I^{-}]$

Hence, the reaction is first order with respect to $[I^{-}]$ and it is also first order reaction with respect to $[H_{2}O_{2}]$ .

Also, $[I^{-}]$ acts as a catalyst in the reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that the incorrect statement is $IO^{-}$ is a catalyst.

Which of the following is NOT an example of a chemical reaction?

Anettt [7]

Answer: D

Explanation:

because mold is a chemical reaction with with the air that's why the put a date cause the bread can only last for so long in till the chemical reaction.But D is is right because your body has to go though a chemical reaction in or to digest it and and break it down even more.So D would be the right answer cause that's where most of your chemical reaction happens when food is swallowed into the stoamch i hope i was able to explain it as much as i can
