Can the pH scale be utilized for all acids (Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis)? Give examples of substances from each definit

ion category that can/cannot use the pH scale and explain your reasoning.
PLEASE ANSWER
Chemistry

CaHeK987 [17]3 years ago

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The pH scale is a scale graduated from 0-14 which shows the degree of acidity of alkalinity of a substance. The pH scale is graduated in such a way that 0-6.9 indicates acidity, 7.0 indicate a neutral substance, while a pH of 8-14 indicates alkalinity respectively.

There are three main definitions of acids/bases

- Arrhenius definition

-Brownstead-Lowry definition

-Lewis definition

Arrhenius explains acids as any substance that produces hydrogen ions as its only positive ion in solution while a base produces hydroxide ions as its only negative ion in solution. The pH scale is based on corresponding values of pH derived from aqueous solutions of these substances.

However, not all acids/bases produces hydrogen or hydroxide ions in solution. Brownstead-Lowry definition of acids and Lewis definition of acids could be extended to nonaqueous media where the pH can not be measured as there are no hydrogen or hydroxide ions present in the solution.

This implies that pH measurement may not apply to acids/bases in the all the categories of acids/bases hence it can not be utilized for all acids and bases.

Arrhenius - sodium carbonate

Brownstead-Lowry - concentrated HF

Lewis acid - AlCl3

What happens to the rock along the ridge when new molten material erupts?
Snowcat [4.5K]
<span>The molten material then spreads out, pushing the older rock to both sides of the ridge. As the molten material cools, it forms a strip of solid rock in the center of the ridge. Then more molten material flows into the crack. The material splits apart the strip of solid rock that formed before, pushing it aside. Hope this helps! (:</span>

How many millimeters are there in 5.12 x 10^5
Anton [14]

Answer:

5.12x10¹¹ millimeters

Explanation:

Milli is a prefix used in science and engineering to decribe the number as the exponent x10⁻³. In the prefix kilo, the number is at the exponent x10³.

5.12x10⁵ kilometers are:

5.12x10⁵ kilometers * (1000m / 1km) = 5.12x10⁸ meters

5.12x10² meters * (1m / 1000millimeters) = 5.12x10¹¹ millimeters

Lab: Calorimetry and Specific Heat
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Title for the lab--->Calorimetry and Specific Heat

Name:

Teacher:

Date:

Purpose: Explore how the specific heat of a substance can be determined using a “coffee cup” calorimeter.

Question: How can you determine the specific heat of a metal using a calorimeter?

Hypothesis: If a metal has a low specific heat, then the metal could make an excellent material for cookware because it takes less heat to raise the temperature of the metal to cook food.

MATERIALS:

- Two polystyrene coffee cups

- Lid for polystyrene cup

- Thermometer      

- 250 mL beaker        

- 400 mL beaker    

- Ring stand    

- Two buret clamps    

- Hot plate  

- Test-tube holder    

- 50 mL graduated cylinder  

- Water    

- aluminum, copper, iron, and lead powder    

- Analytical balance

PROCEDURE:

1) Set up a 600 mL beaker and add 400 mL of dis"lled water inside and place it on a hot plate un"l it boils. Also set up 2 dry Styrofoam cups with a lid aside and add 100.0 mL tap water (calorimeter water) inside.

2) In the boiling water, place the unknown metal sample inside for about 30 min. Before though, weigh it accurately and record the mass on your data sheet.

3) After 30 min, take the temperature of boiling water to the nearest 0.1 °C (Ini"al temp of metal), then take the metal out of the boiling water and replace it into Styrofoam cups filled with room temperature tap water. Ini"al temperature of water is the room temperature of the tap water.

4) Take every 15 seconds for about 2 minutes the temperature of water inside the calorimeter with a thermometer inserted through the hole in the lid. Gently swirl the cup to mix the contents and record the temperature. Use the highest temperature.

5) Calculate the specific heat of the metal sample.

then the table will be in the picture i posted on here  

next is your ---> Analysis /Conclusion

Analysis:

Analyzed from the data above, we know the temperature that is measured depends on the amount of mole in the solution. If the amount of mole in the solution is large, the temperature will be as well. After a few moments, the temperature rises and falls, and in some instances, it remains steady.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, I do believe my hypothesis was supported through my experiments. Through said experiments, I identified the unknown metal as we calculated the changes in the heat, and found that the metals that should be put to use are copper and iron metals. Copper and iron have a low specific heat, which makes these ideal metals when creating cookware. When a metal has low specific heat, it needs less energy to produce heat and it cools down with less energy as well. For these reasons, my hypothesis is supported.

Explanation:

hope this helps :)
