Hydroxyl ions are OH⁻ while hydronium ions are H₃O⁺ which is essentially H⁺ ions. The formula for pH is: pH = -log[H⁺]. So, the greater the concentration of H⁺ is, the lower the pH which indicates acidity. On the other hand, the greater the concentration of OH⁻, the greater the pH which indicates basicity. This is also a consequence of the equation: pH + pOH = 14.

What is the molarity of a solution in which 102 grams of aluminum oxide, Al2O3, is

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

2.00 M

Explanation:

The formula mass of aluminum oxide is 2(27)+3(16)=102 g/mol.

So, there is 1 mole of solute in 500 mL=0.5 L of solution

Now, we can use the equation molarity = (moles of solute)/(liters of solution)

molarity = 1/0.5 = 2.00 M

How do we use particle theory to explain physical properties of matter?? thank you!!

olchik [2.2K]

The properties of matter can best be explained using a model in which all materials are composed of tiny particles (atoms, molecules and ions). There is empty space between particles and particles are constantly moving (their speed is changed by temperature).
