A. the distance between towns
Answer:
True
Explanation:
It's true because the pH is a measure of how basic or acid a solution is. In an acidic medium, the pH scales goes from 0 to 7. While in a basic medium goes from 7 to 14. The lower the pH value of the most acid the solution is.
1. The expression pH = -log(molar concentration of hydronium) allow to calculate the pH of a solution.
2. On the other hand, the expression pOH = -log(molar concentration of hydroxide) allow to determine the pOH of a solution.
The values of pH and pOH always obey the following expression:
pH + pOH = 14
Thus if for instance the pH becomes smaller the pOH must become bigger in order to fulfill the equation. Which means that the concentration of hydronium ions is greater than the hydroxide concentration.
For example, in an acidic medium:
if pH= 3, pOH= 11
In this case the molar concentration of hydronium is 0,001M. And the molar concentration of hydroxide ions is just 0,00000000001M.
The balanced equation for the above neutralisation reaction is as follows;
Ca(OH)₂ + 2HCl ----> CaCl₂ + 2H₂O
Stoichiometry of Ca(OH)₂ to HCl is 1:2
number of Ca(OH)₂ moles reacted - 0.250 mol/L x 20.0 x 10⁻³ L = 5.00 x 10⁻³ mol
according to molar ratio of 1:2
number of HCl moles required = 2 x number of Ca(OH)₂ moles reacted
number of HCl moles = 5.00 x 10⁻³ x 2 = 10.0 x 10⁻³ mol
molarity of HCl solution - 0.250 M
there are 0.250 mol in volume of 1 L
therefore 10.0 x 10⁻³ mol in - 10.0 x 10⁻³ mol / 0.250 mol/L = 40.0 mL
40.0 mL of 0.250 M HCl is required
