Answer:

The hydroxide ions decrease.

Explanation:

I got it right on the quiz. This is what I saw. Read this, "Adding water to an acid or base will change its pH. Water is mostly water molecules so adding water to an acid or base reduces the concentration of ions in the solution. When an acidic solution is diluted with water the concentration of H + ions decreases and the pH of the solution increases towards 7."

Hope this helps! Tell me if this is wrong just incase.

Answer:

decrease or stay the same idk but i'm pretty sure its decrease

Explanation:

When an acid dissolves in a solution like water the hydrogen ions increase

When a base dissolves in a solution the hydroxide ions increase

it is not the first one from the evidence shown above

it is not the last one because hydroxide could not just disappear well maybe if you waited for 1,000 years or if you added so much acid there was no water left but they simply say added to water

the reason i think its decrease instead of stay the same is because as the hydrogen ions increase shouldn't the hydroxide ions decrease since an acid is acidic and that can dissolve metals.

have a nice day!

Which of the following would have the highest buffer capacity?

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

1.25 M HCO₃⁻ / 1.25 M CO₃²⁻

Explanation:

Buffer capacity refers to the amount of a strong acid or base required per liter of the buffer to change its pH by one. This amount is directly related to the concentration of the conjugate acid-base pair in the buffer since the buffer pair neutralizes the strong acid or base.

Thus, the highest buffer capacity is found in the solution that has the highest concentration of the conjugate acid-base pair, which is 1.25 M HCO₃⁻ / 1.25 M CO₃²⁻ .

At 7 degrees Celsius the volume of gas is 49 liters. At the same pressure its volume is 74 mL at what temperature

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Charle's law gives the relationship between volume and temperature of gas.
It states that at constant pressure, volume of gas is directly proportional to temperature of gas.
V/T = k
where V - volume , T - temperature and k- constant
$\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}$
parameters for the first instance are on the left side of the equation and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation
T1 - 7 °C + 273 = 280 K
substituting these values in the equation
$\frac{49 mL}{280K} = \frac{74 mL}{T}$
T = 423 K
temperature in Celcius scale - 423 K - 273 = 150 °C

slavikrds [6]

Isotones are nuclides that have the same neutron number but a different proton number. Therefore the answer is C. boron and carbon.
