Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A pH strip is a strip which helps in determining whether a solution is acidic or basic in nature.

That is, if a solution is acidic in nature then a pH strip will change from blue to red. Whereas when a solution is basic in nature then a pH strip will change from red to blue.

Thus, we can conclude that statement molecules in the paper react differently with hydronium and hydroxide ions, best describes how a pH test strip works.

Molecules in the paper react differently with Hydronium and Hydroxide.

pH paper deals with acidity and basicity of something. You are correct in thinking that A is the answer. Always go with your gut. don't be like me when I was in college who always second guessed my answers. Good luck with chemistry.

A gas sample occupies 4.2L at a pressure of 101 kPa. What volume will it occupy if the pressure is increased to 235 kPa

taurus [48]

1.8 L

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The volume of a gas, V, is inversely proportional to the pressure on it, P. That is:

V₁ · T₁ = V₂ · T₂.

Rearranging gives:

V₂ = V₁ · T₁ / T₂ = 4.2 × (101 / 235) = 1.8 L

What is the relationship between reaction rate and reaction time

Natali [406]

Answer:

The reaction rate is inversely proportional to the reaction time.

Explanation:

The reaction rate is the change of the concentration of reactants and products with the time.

<em>∵ Reaction rate = - Δ[reactants]/Δt = Δ[products]/Δt.</em>

<em>∴ The reaction rate is inversely proportional to the time, as the reaction rate increases it will take a lower time.</em>

What would the pOH of a solution be if the pH is 9.4

Alika [10]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

pOH = 4.6

<h2>Explanations:</h2>

The sum of pH and pOH of a solution is 14as shown:

$pH+pOH=14$

Given the following parameter

pH = 9.4

Substitute the given parameters into the formula to have:

$\begin{gathered} 9.4+pOH=14 \\ pOH=14-9.4 \\ pOH=4.6 \end{gathered}$

Hence the pOH of the solution of pH of 9.4 is 4.6

A 3.00g of a certain Compound X, known to be made of carbon, hydrogen and perhaps oxygen, and to have a molecular molar mass of

andrew-mc [135]

Answer: The molecular formula for the given organic compound X is $C_6H_{8}O_7$

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=4.13g$

Mass of $H_2O=1.13g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 4.13 g of carbon dioxide, = $\frac{12}{44}\times 4.13=1.13g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 1.13 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 1.13=0.125g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (3.00) - (1.13+ 0.125) = 1.75 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{1.13g}{12g/mole}=0.094moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.125g}{1g/mole}=0.125moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{1.75g}{16g/mole}=0.109moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles

For Carbon = $\frac{0.094}{0.094}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.125}{0.094}=1.33$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.109}{0.094}=1.16$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 1: 1.33: 1.16

Converting them into whole number ratios by multiplying by 6:

The ratio of C : H : O = 6: 8: 7

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_6H_8O_7$

Empirical mass = $6\times 12+8\times 1+7\times 16=192g$

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{192g/mol}{192g/mol}=1$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_6H_8O_7\times 1=C_6H_{8}O_7$

Thus molecular formula for the given organic compound X is $C_6H_{8}O_7$
