What happens to the concentration of both H3O+ and OH- ions as water is added to a base?

Chemistry
1 answer:
DanielleElmas [232]3 years ago

Answer:

The concentration of H₃O⁺ ions increase whereas the concentration of the OH⁻ decreases.

Explanation:

The water, H₂O, has its own equilibrium thus:

2H₂O(l) ⇄ OH⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

Where the water equilibrium constant, Kw, is defined as:

Kw = 1x10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] [H₃O⁺]

The addition of a base represents the increasing of [OH⁻]. that means the concentration of OH⁻ ions.

Based on LeCh principle, in an equilibrium, the addition of a product produce the decreasing in concentration of the other products trying to counteract the effect, that means the concentration of H₃O⁺ ions decreases.

Bonds between carbon and oxygen (c=o) are more polar than bonds between sulfur and oxygen (s=o). nevertheless, sulfur dioxide (s
Harman [31]

Dipole moment can be defined as the product of magnitude of charge and the distance of separation between the charges. A dipole exists when two or more atoms with different electronegativities are bonded together to form a molecule. The resulting unequal sharing of electrons leads to a molecule with a net positive and a net negative end. Hence the molecule is said polar.

Bonds between carbon and oxygen (C=O) are more polar but carbon dioxide (CO2) does not exhibits a dipole moment because CO2 is a linear molecule and the charge is equally distributed amongst the entire molecule. When molecules have an even charge distribution then there is no dipole moment and the molecule is said to be non-polar. CO2 is a linear molecule, so the dipoles are symmetrical and are equal in magnitude but point in opposite directions so they cancel out each other effect and we get net dipole moment zero.

On the other hand sulfur dioxide (SO2) exhibits a dipole moment because unlike CO2 molecule SO2 is not a linear molecule because of the presence of lone pair on Sulfur (S) atom , the geometry of SO2 is bent. This bent orientation of the oxygen's with respect to the sulfur results in the uneven distribution of positive and negative charges between the sulfur atom and the two oxygen atoms in the diagonal-shaped sulfur dioxide molecule. So the dipoles are not equal in magnitude and they do not cancel out and SO2 molecule exhibit a net dipole moment.

NOTE: If the molecule is linear, the dipoles are equal and exactly opposite in direction, so like a perfectly equal tug-of-war, they cancel each other out, and there is no net dipole in the molecule.

CO2 (linear molecule) = The dipoles are equal and exactly opposite in direction. They cancel each other out, and there is no net dipole in the molecule.

SO2 ( bent shape not linear) = Their is an uneven distribution of positive and negative charges between the sulfur atom and the two oxygen atoms. Dipoles are not equal in magnitude and they do not cancel out and SO2 molecule exhibit a net dipole moment.

What is the only additional information needed to calculate the empirical formula of a compound if the masses of each element of
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Mass percentages of the the elements in the compound is the only additional information needed to calculate the empirical formula of a compound if the masses of each element of the compound are provided.

<h3>What is Empirical Formula ? </h3>

The Empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms present in given compound.

<h3>What is Molecular formula of Compound ?</h3>

Molecular Formula = Empirical Formula × n

n =  \frac{\text{Molar Mass}}{\text{Empirical Formula weight}}

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that Mass percentages of the the elements in the compound is the only additional information needed to calculate the empirical formula of a compound if the masses of each element of the compound are provided.
