How can the ph scale tell you if a substance is an acid a base or neutral?

1 answer:

3 0

The Ph scale can tell you if a substance is an acid a base or neutral by

a Ph scale runs from a Ph of 1-14. if a substance has a Ph less than 7 (Ph<7) the substance is said to be a an acid

if a substance has a ph greater than 7 (Ph>7) the substance is said to be a base

if a substance has a Ph equal to 7(Ph=7) the substance is said to be neutral

The molar mass of hydrogen molecules is 2g/mol and the molar mass of oxygen molecules is 32g/mol. What is the ratio of the avera

Alona [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

For an ideal gas, the average kinetic energy is given by:

Ek = (3/2)*n*R*T

Where n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant (8.31 J/mol*K), and T the temperature. The gases have the same number of moles, and the same temperature, so they will have the same average kinetic energy:

Ek = (3/2)*1*8.31*300

Ek =3739.5 J

So, the ratio between then is 1.

What is the sequence of coefficients that will balance the following decomposition reaction of dihydrogen monosulfide? H₂S ----&

RUDIKE [14]

8 S

In this case you must start balancing the sulfur to have 8 on each side of the reaction. So:

Answer:

Explanation:

The law of conservation of matter states that since no atom can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, the number of atoms that are present in the reagents has to be equal to the number of atoms present in the products.

Then, you must balance the chemical equation. For that, you must first look at the subscripts next to each atom to find the number of atoms in the equation. If the same atom appears in more than one molecule, you must add its amounts.

The coefficients located in front of each molecule indicate the amount of each molecule for the reaction. This coefficient can be modified to balance the equation, just as you should never alter the subscripts.

By multiplying the coefficient mentioned by the subscript, you get the amount of each element present in the reaction.

Then, taking into account all of the above, you can determine the amount of elements on each side of the equation:

Left side: 2 H and 1 S

Right side: 2 H and 8 S

In this case you must start balancing the sulfur to have 8 on each side of the reaction. So:

8 H₂S → H₂ + S₈

Now the amount of elements on each side of the equation:

Left side: 16 H and 8

Right side: 2 H and 8 S

Now you need to start balancing the hydrogen to get the same amount from each side of the reaction. So:

8 H₂S → 8 H₂ + S₈

Now the amount of elements on each side of the equation:

Left side: 16 H and 8

Right side: 16 H and 8 S

The balanced reaction is:

8 H₂S → 8 H₂ + S₈

The equilibrium constant (Kp) for the decomposition of phosphorus pentachloride (PCl5) to phosphorus trichloride (PCl3) and mole

Oksanka [162]

Answer: The partial pressure of $Cl_2$ is 1.86 atm

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as $K_c$

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

$PCl_5(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)$

Pressure at eqm. 0.973 atm 0.548atm x atm

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

$K_c=\frac{(p_{PCl_3}\times (p_{Cl_2})}{(p_{PCl_5})}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

$1.05=\frac{(0.548)\times (x)}{(0.973)}$

By solving the term 'x', we get :

x = 1.86 atm

Thus, the partial pressure of $Cl_2$ is 1.86 atm

How do the valence electrons of an element determine how they will combine with other elements to produce a compound? Please hel

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The valence electrons are electrons found on the valence (outermost) shell of an atom.

When an atoms form compounds, there is an exchange of valence electrons between the atoms of one element and the atoms of another element.

Let us consider a typical example, sodium has one valence electron and chlorine has seven valence electrons. This means that chlorine needs one electron to complete its octet while sodium needs to release one electron in order to attain the octet structure.

So, sodium gives out its one electron and becomes a stable sodium ion and chlorine accepts that electron and becomes a stable chloride ion. This is how the compound sodium chloride is formed.
