In liquid water, an equilibrium exists between H2O(ℓ) molecules, H+(aq) ions, and OH−(aq) ions. A person experiencing acid indigestion after drinking tomato juice can ingest milk of magnesia to reduce the acidity of the stomach contents. Tomato juice has a pH value of 4. Milk of magnesia, a mixture of magnesium hydroxide and water, has a pH value of 10.
76 Complete the equation in your answer booklet for the equilibrium that exists in liquid water. [1]
HIGHLIGHT TO SEE THE ANSWER
H2O(ℓ) <==>H+(aq) + OH−(aq) 2H2O(ℓ) <==>OH−(aq) + H3O+(aq) water(ℓ) <==>hydrogen ion(aq) + hydroxide ion(aq) |
77 Compare the hydrogen ion concentration in tomato juice to the hydrogen ion concentration in milk of magnesia. [1]
HIGHLIGHT TO SEE THE ANSWER
NOTE=just say it is greater The H + ion concentration in tomato juice is 106 times greater.The hydrogen ion concentration in tomato juice is greater than that in milk of magnesia. Milk of magnesia has a lower concentration of H 3O+ ions. |
