Q5. Why are some salts acidic when others are neutral?

1 answer:

6 0

The pH will remain neutral at 7. Halides and alkaline metals dissociate and do not affect the H+ as the cation does not alter the H+ and the anion does not attract the H+ from water. This is why NaCl is a neutral salt.

Check the explanation

Explanation:

When,

pH = -log[H+] = 3.30

[H+] = $5.0 X 10^{-4} M$

$Ka1 = 1 ; Ka2 = 0.0316 ; Ka3 = 0.01 ; Ka4 = 0.002 ; Ka5 = 7.4 X 10^{-7} ; Ka6 = 4.3 X 10^{-11}$

$alpha[Y^-4] = [H+]^6 + Ka1[H+]^5 + Ka1Ka2[H+]^4 + Ka1Ka2Ka3[H+]^3 + Ka1Ka2Ka3Ka4[H+]^2 + Ka1Ka2Ka3Ka4Ka5[H+] + Ka1Ka2Ka3Ka4Ka5Ka6$

= $1.56 X 10^{-20} + 3.12 X 10^{-17} + 2 X 10^{-15} + 4 X 10^{-14} + 1.6 X 10^{-13} + 2.34 X 10^{-16} + 2 X 10^{-23}$

= $2.02 X 10^{-13}$

When,

pH = -log[H+] = 10.15

[H+] = $7.08 X 10^{-11} M$

Ka1 = 1 ; Ka2 = 0.0316 ; Ka3 = 0.01 ; Ka4 = 0.002 ; Ka5 = $7.4 X 10^{-7}$ ; Ka6 = $4.3 X 10^-11$

$alpha[Y^{-4}] = [H+]^6 + Ka1[H+]^5 + Ka1Ka2[H+]^4 + Ka1Ka2Ka3[H+]^3 + Ka1Ka2Ka3Ka4[H+]^2 + Ka1Ka2Ka3Ka4Ka5[H+] + Ka1Ka2Ka3Ka4Ka5Ka6$

= $1.26 X 10^{-61} + 1.8 X 10^{-51} + 8.1 X 10^{-43} + 1.12 X 10^{-34} + 3.17 X 10^{-27} + 3.3 X 10^{-23} + 1.83 X 10^{-23}$

= $5.12 X 10^{-23}$

What is the difference between a homogeneous and a heterogeneous mixture?

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer and explanation :

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOMOGENEOUS AND HETEROGENEOUS MIXTURE :

In homogeneous mixture the component which are present in the mixture all are in the same proportion whereas in heterogeneous mixture the component which are present in the mixture don't have the same proportion
We can not pick out the component of homogeneous mixture but in heterogeneous mixture we can pick out the components from the mixture
Example of homogeneous mixture is water, oil ,water sugar solution, milk blood etc. And example of heterogeneous mixture is solution of sand and water ,concrete etc.

How does gravity depend on the mass of two objects

AleksAgata [21]

Gravity increases as the mass of either object increases.

<h3>What is gravity?</h3>

Gravity is the force by which a planet or other body draws objects toward its centre. The force of gravity keeps all of the planets in orbit around the sun.

Since the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of both interacting objects, more massive objects will attract each other with a greater gravitational force. So as the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases.
