Answer:

pH = 2.18

Explanation:

Perchloric acid (HClO₄) is a strong acid. This means that in an aqueous solution it completely dissociates into H⁺ and ClO₄⁻ species.

First we <u>convert 249 mg HClO₄ into moles</u>, using its <em>molecular weight</em>:

  • 249 mg HClO₄ ÷ 100.46 mg/mmol = 2.49 mmol HClO₄

<em>Because it is a strong acid</em>, 2.49 mmol HClO₄ = 2.49 mmol H⁺

We <u>calculate the molar concentration of H⁺</u>:

  • 2.49 mmol H⁺ / 380 mL = 6.52x10⁻³ M

Finally we <u>calculate the pH of the solution</u>:

  • pH = -log[H⁺] = -log(6.52x10⁻³)
  • pH = 2.18

What’s the difference between Nuclear Chemistry and Organic Chemistry?<br>And what are similarities?
Aleksandr [31]
Nuclear chemistry is the subfield of chemistry dealing with radioactivity, nuclear processes, such as nuclear transmutation, and nuclear properties.

It is the chemistry of radioactive elements such as the actinides, radium and radon together with the chemistry associated with equipment (such as nuclear reactors) which are designed to perform nuclear processes. This includes the corrosion of surfaces and the behavior under conditions of both normal and abnormal operation (such as during an accident). An important area is the behavior of objects and materials after being placed into a nuclear wastestorage or disposal site.

It includes the study of the chemical effects resulting from the absorption of radiation within living animals, plants, and other materials. The radiation chemistry controls much of radiation biology as radiation has an effect on living things at the molecular scale, to explain it another way the radiation alters the biochemicals within an organism, the alteration of the biomolecules then changes the chemistry which occurs within the organism, this change in chemistry then can lead to a biological outcome. As a result, nuclear chemistry greatly assists the understanding of medical treatments (such as cancerradiotherapy) and has enabled these treatments to improve.

It includes the study of the production and use of radioactive sources for a range of processes. These include radiotherapy in medical applications; the use of radioactive tracers within industry, science and the environment; and the use of radiation to modify materials such as polymers.[1]

It also includes the study and use of nuclear processes in non-radioactive areas of human activity. For instance, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is commonly used in synthetic organic chemistry and physical chemistry and for structural analysis in macromolecular chemistry.
