Answer:
A hypothesis is a possible explanation for a set of observations or an answer to a scientific question. A hypothesis must be testable and measurable.
Explanation:
Low pH = high acidity.
HF has a very low pH, so when added to a solution, it will lower the pH of the solution and therefore make it more acidic. So the answer should be B.
Answer:
a. 9.2
b. 4.4
c. 6.3
Explanation:
In order to calculate the pH of each solution, we will use the definition of pH.
pH = -log [H⁺]
(a) [H⁺] = 5.4 × 10⁻¹⁰ M
pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 5.4 × 10⁻¹⁰ = 9.2
Since pH > 7, the solution is basic.
(b) [H⁺] = 4.3 × 10⁻⁵ M
pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 4.3 × 10⁻⁵ = 4.4
Since pH < 7, the solution is acid.
(c) [H⁺] = 5.4 × 10⁻⁷ M
pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 5.4 × 10⁻⁷ = 6.3
Since pH < 7, the solution is acid.
A word equation is a written description of a chemical reaction.
All word equations start with the reactants.
Then, what comes next is the word "react to form."
Finally, the products of the equation are mentioned.
An example is,
Zinc and Hypochondriac acid react to form hydrogen gas and zinc chloride.
Explanation:
Let us assume that total mass of the solution is 100 g. And, as it is given that acetic acid solution is 12% by mass which means that mass of acetic acid is 12 g and 88 g is the water.
Now, calculate the number of moles of acetic acid as its molar mass is 60 g/mol.
No. of moles = 
= 
= 0.2 mol
Molarity of acetic acid is calculated as follows.
Density = 
1 g/ml = 
volume = 100 ml
Hence, molarity = 
= 
= 2 mol/l
As reaction equation for the given reaction is as follows.
So, moles of NaOH = moles of acetic acid
Let us suppose that moles of NaOH are "x".
(as 1 L = 1000 ml)
x = 20 L
Thus, we can conclude that volume of NaOH required is 20 ml.
