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.

How many formula units are contained in 23.5 g of Sb2S3
wolverine [178]
The molar mass of Sb2S3 is approximately equal to 339.7 g/mol. We calculate the number of moles of Sb2S3 by dividing the given mass by the molar mass. 
                                     n = 23.5 g / (339.7 g/mol)
                                        n = 0.0692 mols
To calculate for the number of formula units, we multiply the number of mols by the Avogadro's number, 
                            number of formula units = (0.0692 mols)(6.022 x 10^3)
                                                   = 4.167 x 10^22 formula units

If total pressure of multiple gases is 512 mmHg, and the pressure of oxygen gas is 332 mmHg and the pressure of carbon monoxide
deff fn [24]

Answer: 67 mmHg

Explanation:

According to Dalton's Gas Law, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressure of each individual gas.

i.e Ptotal = P1 + P2 + P3 + .......

In this case,

Ptotal = 512 mmHg

P(oxygen) = 332 mmHg

P(carbon mono-oxide) = 113 mmHg

Remaining pressure (P3) = ?

To get P3, apply Dalton's Gas Law formula

Ptotal = P(oxygen) + P(carbon mono-oxide) + P3

512 mmHg = 332 mmHg + 113 mmHg + P3

512 mmHg = 445 mmHg + P3

P3 = 512 mmHg - 445 mmHg

P3 = 67 mmHg

Thus, the remaining pressure is 67 mmHg
