The pH scale is used to measure the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a solution. The scale runs from 0 (very acidic solutions can have a negative pH) to 14 (very alkaline solutions can have a pH higher than this), while a neutral liquid such as pure water has a pH of 7. The pH is linked to the concentration of hydrogen ions (H +) in the solution. Diluting an acid or alkali affects the concentration of H +<span> ions in a solution and therefore affects the pH. In this activity, we will investigate how diluting an acid or alkali affects the pH.
Hope this helps:D
Have a great rest of a brainly day!</span>
We are given
0.2 M HCHO2 which is formic acid, a weak acid
and
0.15 M NaCHO2 which is a salt which can be formed by reacting HCHO2 and NaOH
The mixture of the two results to a basic buffer solution
To get the pH of a base buffer, we use the formula
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - (pKa - log [salt]/[base])
We need the pKa of HCO2
From, literature, pKa = 1.77 x 10^-4
Substituting into the equation
pH = 14 - (1.77 x 10^-4 - log 0.15/0.2)
pH = 13.87
So, the pH of the buffer solution is 13.87
A pH of greater than 7 indicates that the solution is basic and a pH close to 14 indicates high alkalinity. This is due to the buffering effect of the salt on the base.
Answer:
Explanation:
2S + 3O₂ = 2SO₃
2moles 3 moles
2 moles of S react with 3 moles of O₂
5 moles of S will react with 3 x 5 / 2 moles of O₂
= 7.5 moles of O₂ .
O₂ remaining unreacted = 10 - 7.5 = 2.5 moles .
All the moles of S will exhausted in the reaction and 2.5 moles of oxygen will be left .
Answer:
I belive its the acid anwser because it can make rust which is a chemical change
