The pH of this solution : 0.699

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

pH is the degree of acidity of a solution that depends on the concentration of H⁺ ions. The greater the value the more acidic the solution and the smaller the pH.

pH = - log [H⁺]

So that the two quantities between pH and [H⁺] are inversely proportional because they are associated with negative values.

A solution whose value is different by n has a difference in the concentration of H⁺ ion of 10ⁿ.

A solution has a [H+] of 0.20 M, so [H⁺]=0.2

$\tt pH=-log[H^+]\\\\pH=-log[0.2]\\\\pH=1-log~2\\\\pH=0.699$

ladessa [460]

The correct answer is From different social and ethnic backgrounds.

Explanation:

The purpose of science studies is to gain an understanding of specific phenomena and use this in the benefit of the world or humanity. Moreover, science is guided by objective methods and these are applied all around the world. This feature allows scientists from all kinds of social and ethnic backgrounds to study the same phenomena and obtain similar results, which is essential for the progress of scientific knowledge. This is exemplified by two different labs in two different countries studying drug absorption because the results of these two studies can be analyzed together to understand drug absorption.

In this context, one factor that contributes to the progress of scientific knowledge is the effort of scientists "from different social and ethnic backgrounds".

Ira Lisetskai [31]

This an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Calculate the empirical formula for each stimulant based on its elemental mass percent composition.

a. nicotine (found in tobacco leaves): C 74.03%, H 8.70%, N 17.27%

b. caffeine (found in coffee beans): C 49.48%, H 5.19 %, N 28.85% and O 16.48%

Answer:

(a) The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_5H_7N$

(b) The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_4H_5N_2O$

Explanation:

<u>Part A: nicotine </u>

We are given:

Percentage of C = 74.03 %

Percentage of H = 8.70 %

Percentage of N = 17.27 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of C = 74.03 g

Mass of H = 8.70 g

Mass of N = 17.27 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{74.03g}{12g/mole}=6.17moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{8.70g}{1g/mole}=8.70moles$

Moles of Nitrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{17.27g}{14g/mole}=1.23moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 1.23 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{6.17}{1.23}=5.01\approx 5$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{8.70}{1.23}=7.07\approx 7$

For Nitrogen = $\frac{1.23}{1.23}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : N = 5 : 7 : 1

The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_5H_7N_1=C_5H_7N$

<u>Part B: caffeine</u>

We are given:

Percentage of C = 49.48 %

Percentage of H = 5.19 %

Percentage of N = 28.85 %

Percentage of O = 16.48 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of C = 49.48 g

Mass of H = 5.19 g

Mass of N = 28.85 g

Mass of O = 16.48 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{49.48g}{12g/mole}=4.12moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{5.19g}{1g/mole}=5.19moles$

Moles of Nitrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{28.85g}{14g/mole}=2.06moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{16.48g}{16g/mole}=1.03moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 1.03 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{4.12}{1.03}=4$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{5.19}{1.03}=5.03\approx 5$

For Nitrogen = $\frac{2.06}{1.03}=2$

For Nitrogen = $\frac{1.03}{1.03}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : N : O = 4 : 5 : 2 : 1

The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_4H_5N_2O_1=C_4H_5N_2O$
