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.

Which statement best describes a property of a compound? A compound is made up of a single atom. B. A compound is made up of man
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

D. A compound can be separated into two or more elements through a chemical reaction.

Explanation:

By method of elimination, we are going t obtain the correct  option.

A. A compound is made up of a single atom.

This is wrong because, a compound can contain more than one atom.  An example is H2O

B. A compound is made up of many atoms that are all the same type.

This is wrong because a compound can contain atoms of different elements. An example is H2O. It contains atoms of hydrogen and oxygen.

C. A compound can be separated into two or more elements through physical processes.

This is wrong. H2O being a compound cannot be separated by ordinary physical means.

D. A compound can be separated into two or more elements through a chemical reaction.

This is the correct option.

What is the molarity of a 27.0% (v/v) aqueous ethanol solution? the density of ethanol (c2h6o, molar mass 46.07 g/mol) is 0.790
RoseWind [281]
   The  molarity  of a  27%(v/v) aqueous  ethanol  solution  is 4.63 M

         calculation
convert  27%(v/v) to  fraction  = 27ml/100 ml

use  density to  convert  27ml  to grams =  27 ml  x0.79 g/ml = 21.33 g

find  the number  of moles  of C2H6O

moles = mass/molar mass of C2H6O(46.07 g/mol)

moles is therefore = 21.33 g /46.07 g/mol =0.463  moles

find the  molarity =   moles /volume in liters

volume in liter =  100 ml/1000 = 0.1 L

molarity  is therefore =  0.463 mole/0.1 L = 4.63  M
