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

Chemistry

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.

If a sample of magnesium with a mass of 35.0 grams reacts with 35.0 grams of oxygen how much magnesium oxide will be produced?​
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

58.0 g of MgO

Explanation:

in a perfect world, 70 g, however we don't live in a perfect world

The equation of reaction

2Mg + O₂ --> 2MgO

first find which element is limiting:

35 g x 1 mol/24.3 g of Mg x 2 mol of MgO/ 2 mole of Mg = 1.44 moles of MgO

35 g x 1 mol/32g of Mg x 2 mol of MgO/ 1 mole of O₂ = 2.1875 moles of MgO

This means Mg is the limiting factor, so you will be using this moles to find grams of MgO

1.44 mols of MgO x 40.3 g of MgO/ 1 mol = 58.0 g of MgO

Consider the model of the nitrogen atom.
liq [111]

Answer:

1s2 2s2 2p3

Explanation:

we know that the number of electrons in an atom is equal to number of protons. So the number of electrons here is 7.

Using Moller chart, the electronic configuration is writen by the electrons first enterring into 1s then into 2s after 2p. The s orbital accomodates maximum of 2 electrons.

∴ for atomic no. 7 nitrogen atom, electronic configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p3.

In the following reaction, 451.4 g of lead reacts with excess oxygen forming 365.0 g of lead(II) oxide. Calculate the percent yi
user100 [1]
Let MM(x) be the molar mass of x.

MM(Pb) : MM(PbO)
=207.21 : 223.20  =  451.4 g : x g

cross multiply and solve for x
x=223.2/207.21*451.4
= 486.23 g

Percentage yield = 365.0/486.23= 0.75067 = 75.07% (rounded to 4 sign. fig.)
