Question

the two molecular scenes below depict the relative concentrations of h3o (purple) in solutions of the same volume (with counterions and solvent molecules omitted for clarity). if the ph in beaker a is 4.45, what is the ph in beaker b?

Answer 1

The pH in beaker B cannot be determined without the specific concentration value.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pH in beaker B can be determined based on the pH in beaker A using the information provided. The pH scale is a logarithmic scale that measures the concentration of hydronium ions (H3O+) in a solution. The higher the concentration of H3O+ ions, the lower the pH value, indicating a more acidic solution.

Given that the pH in beaker A is 4.45, we can determine the concentration of H3O+ ions using the inverse relation between pH and H3O+ concentration. Using the information from Example 10.6.2, we can convert the pH in beaker A to the concentration of H3O+ ions. However, since there is no information in the question about the specific concentration value for beaker A, we cannot calculate the exact pH in beaker B.
