pH=6.98
Explanation:
This is a very interesting question because it tests your understanding of what it means to have a dynamic equilibrium going on in solution.
As you know, pure water undergoes self-ionization to form hydronium ions, H3O+, and hydroxide anions, OH−.
2H2O(l]⇌H3O+(aq]+OH−(aq]→ very important!
At room temperature, the value of water's ionization constant, KW, is equal to 10−14. This means that you have
KW=[H3O+]⋅[OH−]=10−14
Since the concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions are equal for pure water, you will have
[H3O+]=√10−14=10−7M
The pH of pure water will thus be
pH=−log([H3O+])
pH=−log(10−7)=7
Now, let's assume that you're working with a 1.0-L solution of pure water and you add some 10
Answer:
2Na+F2 yields 2NaF is balanced.
Explanation:
There are 2 sodium and 2 fluorine in both reactants and product: In 2NaF the 2 is distributed because it is in the beginning of the compound.
Oxygen, fluorine and iodine are diatomic elements. Flourine is more reactive than the other two because it is the closest away to filling its outer layer of electrons and becoming stable like a noble gas.
Answer: scientific explanation
Explanation:
A really good scientific explanation should do two main things: It should explain all the observations and data we have. It should allow us to make testable predictions that we can check using future experiments.
