Answer:

12 to 14

Explanation:

drain cleaners contain sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide which are strong bases . The pH value of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide is 14 and 12 respectively on the pH scale. So, most drain cleaners have a pH of from 12 to 14, regardless of how much L there are.

____ [38]

Explanation: Process is diffusion. The gas molecules follow a zig-zag path through the tube as they collide with the air molecules in the tube. The purpose of the glass tube is to eliminate air currents and to see if the gas molecules will move on their own.

Calculate the solubility of CaF2 in g/L (Ksp = 4.0 x 10-8). 2. What is the pH of a solution containing a hydrogen ion concentrat

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{1. \text{ 0.17 g/L; 2. 3.52; 3. Cl; 4. (a) +3; (b) +4; (c) +6}}$

Explanation:

1. Solubility of CaF_2

(a) Molar solubility

CaF₂ ⇌ Ca²⁺ + 2F⁻

$K_{\text{sp }} = \text{[Ca$^{2+}$]}\text{[F$^{-}$]}^{2}= 4.0 \times 10^{-8}\\s(2s)^{2}=4.0 \times 10^{-8}\\4s^{3} = 4.0 \times 10^{-8}\\s^{3} = 1.0 \times 10^{-8}\\s =2.2 \times 10^{-3}\text{ mol/L}$

(b) Mass solubility

$\text{Solubility} = 2.2 \times 10^{-3} \text{ mol/L} \times \dfrac{\text{78.07 g}}{\text{1 L }} = \text{0.17 g/L}\\\\\text{The solubility of CaF$_{2}$ is $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.17 g/L}}$}$

2. pH

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log(3.0 × 10⁻⁴) = 3.52

3. Oxidizing and reducing agents

Zn + Cl₂ ⟶ ZnCl₂

$\rm \stackrel{\hbox{0}}{\hbox{Zn}} + \stackrel{\hbox{0}}{\hbox{ Cl}_{2} }\longrightarrow \stackrel{\hbox{+2}}{\hbox{Zn}}\stackrel{\hbox{-1}}{\hbox{Cl}_{2}}$
