The ionic product of water can be used to calculate the concentration of
Experimentally proved that at
The acidic and basic nature of the solution can be expressed in terms of pH of the solution. The range of pH lies from 0 to 14. The pH value from 0 to 7 indicates an acidic solution whereas the pH value from 7 to 14 stands for a basic solution. A neutral solution can be expressed as pH 7. It can be calculated with the help of concentration

- The reaction of calcium hydride, CaH2, with water can be characterized as a Lewis acid-base reaction: CaH2(s)+2H2O(l)Ca(OH)2(aq)+2H2(g) Identify the Lewis acid and the Lewis base among the reactants. The reaction is also an oxidation-reduction reaction. Identify the oxidizing agent, the reducing agent, and the changes in oxidation number that occur in the reaction.arrow_forwardPhosphate buffers are important in regulating the pH of intracellular fluids. If the concentration ratio of H2PO4/HPO42 in a sample of intracellular fluid is 1.1: 1, what is the pH of this sample of intracellular fluid? H2PO4(aq)HPO42(aq)+H+(aq)Ka=6.2108arrow_forwardThe elements sodium, aluminum, and chlorine are in the same period.. (a) Which has the greatest electronegativity?. (b) Which of the atoms is smallest?. (c) Write the Lewis structure for the simplest covalent compound that can form between aluminum and chlorine. (d) Will the oxide of each element be acidic, basic, or amphoteric?arrow_forward
- What mass of CaH2 is necessary to react with water to provide enough hydrogen gas to fill a balloon at 20 C and 0.8 arm pressure with a volume of 4.5 L? The balanced equation is: CaH2(s)+2H2O(l)Ca(OH)2(aq)+2H2(g)arrow_forwardThe amount of sodium hypochlorite in a bleach solution can be determined by using a given volume of bleach to oxidize excess iodide ion to iodine; ClO- is reduced to Cl-. The amount of iodine produced by the redox reaction is determined by titration with sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3; I2 is reduced to I-. The sodium thiosulfate is oxidized to sodium tetrathionate, Na2S4O6. In this analysis, potassium iodide was added in excess to 5.00 mL of bleach (d=1.00g/cm3) . If 25.00 mL of 0.0700 M Na2S2O3 was required to reduce all the iodine produced by the bleach back to iodide, what is the mass percent of NaClO in the bleach?arrow_forward
