A solution of baking soda and water has a pH of 8.40. What type of solution is this?

Chemistry

Gwar [14]3 years ago

The solution is basic.
pH scale can be used to find out how acidic or basic a solution is .
When pH = 7 the solution is neutral,
pH < 7 solution is acidic
pH > 7 solution is neutral
Since the pH of solution is 8.40 then value is more than 7 therefore baking Soda and water is basic.

Why might nuclear fusion be a better source of energy on earth than nuclear fission?
AleksAgata [21]
<span>Cost and availability of fuel is a considerable factor when dealing with nuclear power. Fission requires an element that can be easily split in a particle accelerator, such as uranium or plutonium. Fusion, on the other hand, uses isotopes of hydrogen atoms, specifically deuterium and tritium, that can be obtained from ordinary water</span>

What is the hydronium ion concentration of a 0.100 M acetic acid solution with Ka = 1.8 × 10-5? The equation for the dissociatio
evablogger [386]

Answer:

1.3×10⁻³ M

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the dissociation reaction of acetic acid:

CH_3CO_2H(aq) + H_2O(l) \rightleftharpoons H_3O^+(aq) + CH_3CO_2^-(aq)

We can write the law of mass action for it:

Ka=\frac{[H_3O^+][CH_3CO_2^-]}{[CH_3CO_2H]}

Of course, excluding the water as heterogeneous substances are not included. Then, in terms of the change x due to the dissociation extent, we are able to rewrite it as shown below:

1.8x10^{-5}=\frac{x*x}{0.100-x}

Thus, via the quadratic equation or solve, we obtain the following solutions:

x_1=-0.00135M\\x_2=0.00133M

Obviously, the solution is 0.00133M which match with the hydronium concentration, thus, answer is: 1.3×10⁻³ M in scientific notation.

Regards.

Suppose you find a rock that contains some potassium-40 (half-life of 1.3 billion years). you measure the amount and determine t
Alborosie
Equation for Half life :
A = a(0.5)^(t/h)
A is current amount, "a" is initial amount, h is halflife, t is time

5 = 40(0.5)^(t/1.3x10^9)
5/40 = (0.5)^(t/1.3x10^9)
take the log of both sides , power rule
Log(5/40) = (t/1.3x10^9) * Log(0.5)
(1.3x10^9) * Log(5/40) / Log(0.5) = t
3.9x10^9 years = t

And if you think about what a half life is, the time it take for the amount to reduce to half.
40/2 = 20
20/2 = 10
10/2 = 5
It went through 3 half-lifes
3 * 1.3x10^9 = 3.9x10^9 years

A sample of ammonia gas at 75°c and 445 mm hg has a volume of 16.0 l. what volume will it occupy if the pressure rises to 1225 m
ioda
In this kind of exercises, you should  use the "ideal gas" rules: PV = nRT
P should be in Pascal: 
445mmHg = 59328Pa
1225mmHg = 163319Pa

V should be in cubic meter:
16L = 0.016 m3

R = \frac{PV}{nT} = constant
\frac{P1 V1}{n T} = \frac{P2 V2}{n T}
==> P1 * V1 = P2 * V2
V2 = \frac{P1 V1}{P2} = \frac{445 0.016}{1225}
V2 = 0.00581 m3 = 5.81 L
