HBr and HF are both monoprotic Arrhenius acids—that is, in aqueous solution, they dissociate and ionize to give hydrogen ions. A strong acid ionizes completely; a weak acid ionizes partially.
In this case, HBr, being a strong acid, would ionize completely in water to yield H+ and Br- ions. However, HF, being a weak acid, would ionize only to a limited extent: some of the HF molecules will ionize into H+ and F- ions, but most of the HF will remain undissociated.
pH is, by definition, a measurement of the concentration of hydrogen ions in solution (pH = -log[H+]). A higher concentration of hydrogen ions gives a lower pH, while a lower concentration of hydrogen ions gives a higher pH. At 25 °C, a pH of 7 indicates a neutral solution; a pH less than 7 indicates an acidic solution; and a pH greater than 7 indicates a basic solution.
If we have equal concentrations of HBr and HF, then the HBr solution will have a greater concentration of hydrogen ions in solution than the HF solution. Consequently, the pH of the HBr solution will be less than the pH of the HF solution.
Choice A is incorrect: Strong acids like HBr dissociate completely, not partially.
Choice B is incorrect: While the initial concentration of HBr and HF are the same, the H+ concentration in the HBr solution is greater. Since pH is a function of H+ concentration, the pH of the two solutions cannot be the same.
Choice C is correct: A greater H+ concentration gives a lower pH value. The HBr solution has the greater H+ concentration. Thus, the pH of the HBr solution would be less than that of the HF solution.
Choice D is incorrect for the reason why choice C is correct.
Answer:
18,1 mL of a 0,304M HCl solution.
Explanation:
The neutralization reaction of Ba(OH)₂ with HCl is:
2 HCl + Ba(OH)₂ → BaCl₂ + 2 H₂O
The moles of 17,1 mL≡0,0171L of a 0,161M Ba(OH)₂ solution are:
= 2,7531x10⁻³moles of Ba(OH)₂
By the neutralization reaction you can see that 2 moles of HCl reacts with 1 mole of Ba(OH)₂. For a complete reaction of 2,7531x10⁻³moles of Ba(OH)₂ you need:
= 5,5062x10⁻³moles of HCl.
The volume of a 0,304M HCl solution for a complete neutralization is:
= 0,0181L≡18,1mL
I hope it helps!
Answer:
Total energy consumed = 1,882.8 joules
Explanation:
Given:
Calories burned = 450 calories
Find:
Total energy consumed
Computation:
1 calorie = 4.184 joules
So,
450 calories = 4.184 × 450
450 calories = 1,882.8 joules
Total energy consumed = 1,882.8 joules
