pH of water decreases as temperature increases. Although the pH of water changes with temperature, the acidity remains neutral. So the hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions remain the same numbers.

Navleen Bajwa 3A

The negative logarithm is used so that most pH values are positive numbers.

Navleen Bajwa 3A

Yes, Professor Lavelle told us during lecture that negative pH values are possible. Any acid that yields a concentration of hydrogen ions with a molarity greater than one will have a negative pH.

pH of pure water decreases as the temperature increases. Although the pH of pure water changes with temperature, it is important to realize that it is still neutral. In the case of pure water, there are going to be the same number of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions.

No. Ka, the acidity constant, is the products/reactants. Ka= [H30+][A-]/[HA].

Navleen Bajwa 3A

Yes. Percent deprotonation and percent ionization are the same. Deprotonation is an ionization method.

pH of a solution is the negative logarithm of the hydronium ion activity. Ka is the acid ionization constant or acid dissociation constant. The weaker the acid is, which depends on the pH level, the smaller the value of Ka. Kb is the base ionization constant, and the smaller the value of Kb, the abi...

pH is the hydronium ion concentration of the solution. The pH is the negative logarithm of the hydronium ion activity. pKa is the negative base -10 logarithm of the acid dissociation constant of a solution. The lower the pKa value, the stronger the acid.

Yes. You only use the concentrations of aqueous and gases in the ICE method. Therefore, you ignore the concentrations of the solids and liquids.

You have to divide everything by .5 because the molarity is necessary. Molarity= moles/volume. In 11.33, the volume is .5 liters.

The lone pairs are localized around the central atom. The lone pairs occupy more space because there is greater repulsion with each other.

The shape of the poly atomic molecule affects whether it is polar or not. First, draw the lewis structure. Then, use the VSEPR formula to name the molecular shape. Then you can identify the polarity by the dipoles. If the symmetry allows the dipoles to cancel, then the molecule is nonpolar. The mole...

The rest of your calculations are right except for the L in the formal charge equation. The L represents the actual number of lone pair electrons. So one lone pair would have 2 lone pair electrons. Therefore, the formal charge of Nitrogen= 5-(2+6/2). Formal charge of Oxygen= 6-(2+6/2).

Navleen Bajwa 3A

The total valence electrons in the lewis structure are determined by adding up all the valence electrons. You have to satisfy the octet rule. You can do this by drawing bonds and lone pairs to get an accurate lewis structure.

I was confused by this at first too. The d block is listed first before the s block because the d block contains less energy than the s block. The principal quantum number "n" has more energy in comparison to "n-1." Therefore, the 3d would be written before 4s.

I think the question is referring to the actual group 5 with transition elements such as V, Nb, Ta, and Db. In that case, the answer should be ns^2 (n-1)d^3. But the answer key says that ns^2 (n-1)d^5. Either the answer key is incorrect, or the question is actually referring to group 5 starting from...

Subshells are groups of orbitals that have the same value of l. For instance, there is only one subshell in the n=1 level (l=0).

Navleen Bajwa 3A

The quantum number l is the orbital angular momentum of the electron. It is the rate that the electron rotated round the nucleus and the shape. The magnetic quantum number ml specifies the orbitals of the subshell and the orientation.

Navleen Bajwa 3A

First convert the mass into kilograms and the velocity into ms^-1. You placed the numbers correctly into the equation, but the only thing you are missing is the 41ms^-1.

Navleen Bajwa 3A

Usually if the idea isn't mentioned at all in the homework, I would say don't focus your time too much on it. I assume Dr. Lavelle did not go over information in section 1.1 because the information is basic and general in comparison to the formulas or other concepts. I usually just study the homewor...
