Wine has a pH of 3, which means it is __________ times more acidic than tomatoes, which have a pH of 4.

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions.

Thus,

pH = - log [H⁺]

Thus, from the formula, more the concentration of the hydrogen ions or more the acidic the solution is, the less is the pH value of the solution.

Thus, solution with pH = 3 will be more acidic than solution with pH =4

Thus, concentration of the [H⁺] when pH =3

3 = - log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = 10⁻³ M

For pH = 4, [H⁺] = 10⁻⁴ M

hence, pH = 3 is 10 times more acidic than pH = 4

Calculate the pH of a 0.50 M HIO. The Ka of hypoiodic acid, HIO, is 2.3x10–11.0.305.325.479.474.80

never [62]

Answer:

pH = 5.47

Explanation:

The equilibrium that takes place is:

HIO ↔ H⁺ + IO⁻

Ka = $\frac{[H+][IO-]}{[HIO]}$ = 2.3 * 10⁻¹¹

At equilibrium:

[HIO] = 0.5 M - x

[H⁺] = x

[IO⁻] = x

Replacing those values in the equation for Ka and solving for x:

$Ka=\frac{x^2}{0.5-x}=2.3*10^{-11} \\x^2=(2.3*10^{-11})(0.5-x)\\x^2=1.15*10^{-11}-2.3*10^{-11}x\\x^2+2.3*10^{-11}x-1.15*10^{-11}=0\\x=3.39*10^{-6}$

Then [H⁺]=3.39 * 10⁻⁶, thus pH = 5.47

George has a mass of 65kg. What would George weigh on the Moon? (The gravitational field strength on the Moon is 1.6N/kg.)

dem82 [27]

Answer:

$\boxed{\large \text{104 N}}$

Explanation:

$\text{Weight} = \text{65 kg} \times \dfrac{\text{1.6 N}}{\text{1 kg}} = \textbf{104 N}\\\\\text{George would weigh $\boxed{\large \textbf{104 N}}$ on the moon}$

A 3.31-g sample of lead nitrate, Pb(NO3)2, molar mass = 331 g/mol, is heated in an evacuated cylinder with a volume of 2.53 L. T

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

0.486atm is the pressure of the cylinder

Explanation:

1 mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ descomposes in 4 moles of NO2 and 1 mole of O2. That is 1 mole descomposes in 5 moles of gas.

To find the pressure of the cylinder, we need to find moles of gas produced, and using general gas law we can determine the pressure of the gas:

Moles Pb(NO₃)₂ and moles of gas:

3.31g * (1mol / 331g) = 0.01 moles of Pb(NO₃)₂.

That means moles of gas produced is 0.05 moles.

Pressure of the gas:

Using PV = nRT

P = nRT/V

Where P is pressure (Incognite)

V is volume (2.53L)

R is gas constant (0.082atmL/molK)

T is absolute temperature (300K)

And n are moles of gas (0.05 moles)

P = 0.05mol*0.082atmL/molK*300K / 2.53L

P = 0.486atm is the pressure of the cylinder
