Why is it impossible for a solution to become both more basic and more acidic at the same time?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Ganezh [65]2 years ago

A solution cannot be both acidic and basic at the same time because an increase in the H+ concentration will lead to a decrease in OH- concentration in the same solution.

<h3>What is pH?</h3>

pH is the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH = -log [H+]

Also

pOH = -log [OH-]

Mathematically, pH + pOH = 14

Thus, for a given solution, as the pH increases, pOH decreases, and vice versa.

An increase in H+ concentration will decrease OH- concentration is the

reason why it's impossible.

<h3>What is an Acidic and Basic compound?</h3>

An acidic compound has the presence of H+ ions in them while basic

compounds have the presence of OH- ions.

In a solution , as the number of Hydrogen ions increases, it leds to a

corresponding decrease in the Hydroxide ions which is the reason why

they can't coexist at the same time.

how does increasing concentration/ temperature/ surface area affect the yield of products in a chemical reaction (not reversible
egoroff_w [7]
Answer:
             <span>Increasing concentration, temperature and surface area will increase the yield of products.

Explanation:
                   Concentration:
                                           
Increase in concentration of reactants will increase the number of reactants per unit volume. Therefore, the probability of collisions will increase hence, it will result in the increase in yield.

                   Temperature:
                                        Increase in temperature increases the kinetic energy of reactants. Therefore, the increase in velocity of reactants results in the collisions with high energy. It makes it feasible for reactants to attain the optimum energy (activation energy) to convert into products with good yield.

                  Surface Area:
                                       The reactants in grinded / powder form reacts fast as compared to solid form. In fact, grinding results in increase of the surface area of reactants. Greater surface area increases the probability of reactants to colloid. Hence, increases the yield.</span>

A balanced chemical equation used to prepare ammonium carbonate, (nh4)2co3 , is: 2 n h 3 ( g ) + c o 2 ( g ) + h 2 o ( l ) ⟶ ( n
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

This a simple stoichiometry problem using the ideal gas law.  

First take the grams of ammonium carbonate and convert it to moles using its molar mass and dividing. 11.9 g/96.0932 g/mol= .12384 mol  

Now use a molar conversion using the balanced equation,  

1 mol (NH4)2CO3 ---> 4 mol gas formed (2 mol NH3 + 1 mol CO2 + 1 mol H2O) = .12384 x 4 = .49535 mol gas  

PV=nRT  

V=nRT/P= .49535mol (.08206 Lxatm/molxK) (296K)/ (1.03 atm)=11.682 L

In the lab, you are given a metal ball. You measure the mass of the ball to be 28 g. You place the ball in a graduated cylinder
KIM [24]

Answer:

Density = 8.75ml

Explanation:

Density = Mass / Volume

In this problem ...

Mass = 28 grams

Volume = 31.4ml - 28.2ml = 32ml (water displacement also)

∴Density = mass /volume = 28g/32ml = 8.75g/ml

Compare rutherford's expected outcome of the gold-foil experiment with the actual outcome.
iragen [17]
Rutherford was one of the early scientists who worked on the atomic model. Before his discovery of the nucleus, the widely accepted theory was J.J Thomson's Plum Pudding Model. In this model, all the protons, electrons and neutrons are in the nucleus. But the electrons are more in number such that the electrons act as the 'pudding' and the proton and nucleus the 'plum'. This was Rutherford's hypothesis in his gold foil experiment. In order to test the Plum Pudding model, he hypothesized that when a beam of light is aimed at the atom, it would not diffract because the charges in the nucleus are well-distributed. However, his experiment disproved Thomson's model. Some light indeed passed through but a few was diffracted back to the source. He concluded that this was because there is a dense mass inside the atom called nucleus. Thus, from there on, he proposed the model that the electrons are orbiting around the nucleus.
