This equation shows how HF, hydrofluoric acid behaves in water. 
HF (aq) ----> H+ (aq) + F- (aq). In water acids will dissociate into positive cations and negative anions. The strength or weakness of an acid depends on its ability to dissociate in water. Substances that dissociate completely are strong acids while partial dissociation indicates a weak acid. HF is considered to be a weak acid because it does not completely dissociates in water. There is instead an equilibrium between HF molecules and the dissociates.

What is the pH of a 0.0042 M hydrochloric acid solution?
babymother [125]

Answer:

E) 2.38

Explanation:

The pH of any solution , helps to determine the acidic strength of the solution ,

i.e. ,

  • Lower the value of pH , higher is its acidic strength

and ,

  • Higher the value of pH , lower is its acidic strength .

pH is given as the negative log of the concentration of H⁺ ions ,

hence ,

pH = - log H⁺

From the question ,

the concentration of the solution is 0.0042 M , and being it a strong acid , dissociates completely to its respective ions ,

Therefore , the concentration of H⁺ = 0.0042 M .

Hence , using the above equation , the value of pH can be calculated as follows -

pH = - log H⁺

pH = - log ( 0.0042 M )

pH =  2.38 .

A gas sample occupies 3.25 liters at 297.5K and 2.4 atm. Determine the temperature at which the gas will occupy 4.25 L at 1.50 a
lorasvet [3.4K]

For equal moles of  gas, temperature can be calculated from ideal gas equation as follows:

P×V=n×R×T ...... (1)

Initial volume, temperature and pressure of gas is 3.25 L, 297.5 K and 2.4 atm respectively.

2.4 atm ×3.25 L=n×R×297.5 K

Rearranging,

n\times R=0.0262 atm L/K

Similarly at final pressure and volume from equation (1),

1.5 atm ×4.25 L=n×R×T

Putting the value of n×R in above equation,

1.5 atm ×4.25 L=0.0262 (atm L/K)×T

Thus, T=243.32 K

Assuming the relative rate of secondary hydrogen atom abstraction for the chlorination of propane is 3.9 times faster than the r
Ghella [55]

Answer:

% of n-propyl chloride = 43.48 %

Explanation:

There are 2 secondary hydrogens and 6 primary hydrogens

The rate of abstraction of seondary hydrogen = 3.9 X rate of abstraction of primary hydrogen

probability of formation of isopropyl chloride = 3.9 X 1 (relative rate X relative number of secondary hydrogens)

Probability of formation of n-propyl chloride = 1 X 3 (relative rate X relative number of primary hydrogens)

Total probability = 3.9

% of n-propyl chloride = 3 X 100 / 6.9 = 43.48 %

As you were climbing a a mountain, you noticed that rocks were crumbling below your feet and moving down the mountain. What two
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Weathering and erosion

Explanation:

Weathering can be explained as the breaking down of rocks/minerals on the surface of the Earth as a result of contact with biological organism, water, air and other factors

. There are 3 common types of weathering which are;

1) physical weathering

2) biological weathering

3) chemical weathering

Erosion can be regarded as a geological process, whereby earthen material are been transported away by natural forces, these forces could be wind as well as water.

Therefore, as you were climbing a a mountain, you noticed that rocks were crumbling below your feet and moving down the mountain. What is observed are weathering and erosion processes.

After the weakening and broken up of the rock by weathering then erosion transport the bit of the rock down the mountain as you are climbing, which means the "weathering process" breakdown and the "erosion process" involves the transport or movement of the bit of the rocks
