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

Describe the reactions during the electrolysis of waterA) Oxygen is reduced and hydrogen is oxidized.B) Oxygen and hydrogen are
Natalka [10]

Answer:

D) Oxygen is oxidized and hydrogen is reduced.

Explanation:

In the electrolysis of water, an electric current passes through an electrolytic solution (e.g. aqueous NaCl), leading to the following redox reaction.

H₂O(l) → H₂(g) + 1/2 O₂(g)

The corresponding half-reactions are:

Reduction:  2 H₂O(l) + 2 e⁻ → H₂(g) + 2 OH⁻

Oxidation:  2 H₂O(l) → O₂(g) + 4 H⁺(aq) + 4 e⁻

As we can see, H in water is reduced (its oxidation number decreases from 1 to 0), while O in water is oxidized (its oxidation number increases from -2 to 0).

Discuss availability of the lone pair of electrons to electrophile in dative bonding
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Here, a balance between attraction between nucleus and electrons, and electron-electron, and nuclei-nuclei repulsion play role.

All chemical bonds are formed by overlapping of orbitals. If the electronegativity of the two elements forming the bond is very different (elements from the 1st ,2nd groups with elements of 7th group) then ionic bond are formed. If the electronegativities are more similar, then overlapping is stronger, and covalent bonds are formed.

The diving velocity of a falcon can reach 322 km/hr. If the falcon maintains this velocity for 7.2 seconds (0.002 hours), what w
Degger [83]
Multiply velocity and time and you get 0.644 km, but remember that displacement has a direction and so does velocity, so because velocity is positive in the direction that the falcon is going you have a positive displacement.

How many joules are required to raise the temperature of 15.0 grams of water by 10 degrees Celsius?
tester [92]
The question is based on the Thermodynamic principle of Specific Heat Capacity. Now, Specific Heat Capacity refers to the amount of heat needed per unit mass t raise the temperature by one degree Celsius

The formula that can be used to find the answer is the following:
   Q = C · m · ΔT ( where Q is the heat added/required; C is the specific heat capacity [4.186 joule/gram °C]; ΔT is the change in temperature)

Based on the question, what needs to be found is Q, and what is known is that C = 4.186 J/g °C; m = 15 g;  ΔT = 10 °C

so,           Q = C · m · ΔT
                Q = (4.186 J/g °C) (15 g) (10 °C)
                Q = 627.9 J

Thus, the number of <span>joules required to raise the temperature of 15.0 grams of water by 10 degrees Celsius is 627.9 J</span>
