Alona [7]

Answer:

pH of HNO₃ having an hydrogen ion concentration of 0.71M is 0.149

Explanation:

HNO₃ (aqueous) ⇄ H⁺ + NO3⁻

The pH is defined as the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration

pH = - log [H⁺]

From the question, the hydrogen ion concentration is given as 0.71M, therefore

pH = -log [0.71]

     = 0.149

Tasya [4]

Answer:

C8H8 + 10O2 → 8CO2 + 4H2O

Explanation:

unbalanced reaction:

C8H8 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

balanced for semireactions:

(1) 16H2O + C8H8 → 8CO2 + 40H+

(2) 10(4H+ + O2 → 2H2O)

⇒ 40H+ + 10O2 → 20H2O

(1) + (2):

balanced reaction:

⇒ C8H8 + 10O2 → 8CO2 + 4H2O

                      8 - C - 8

                     20 - O2 - 20

                      8 - H - 8
