Who introduced the concept of pH and pOH?
Answer:
Sorenson
The pH and pOH concepts were introduced by Swedish chemist and pharmacologist, Carl Wilhelm Scheele, who is better known as 'Sorenson'. In the late 19th century, Sorenson developed the idea of a 'universal solvent' which led to the understanding of acidity and basicity in solutions. The pH scale measures the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution, with lower pH values indicating higher acidity, while pOH measures the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) in a solution, with lower pOH values indicating higher basicity.

zeotropic solution

54
What does a 10 volume solution of H2O2 represent?
Answer:
1 mL of solution of H2O2 liberates 10 mL of O2 at STP
In the context of a 10 volume solution of H2O2, 'volumes' refer to the molar concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). According to the question, 1 mL of H2O2 solution has a concentration equivalent to 1 volume. Thus, 1 mL of 10 volume H2O2 solution would liberate 10 mL of O2 upon decomposition at STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure) because the molar volume ratio of O2 at STP is 1: 0.032 L/mol. The other options are incorrect because they mention different quantities (grams or litres) that do not represent the same concentration as 1 mL.
55
Unit of Kc is_______________?
Answer:
Kc may or may not have units

56
Which unit of concentration is temperature-independent?
Answer:
Molality
In chemistry, concentration units are affected by temperature. Molarity (M) is the number of moles of solute per liter of solution and is temperature-dependent. Molality (m) is the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent and is independent of temperature. Mole fraction is a ratio of moles of a substance to the total moles in a mixture and remains approximately constant with temperature changes. Among the given options, Molality is the temperature-independent unit of concentration.
57
What is the characteristic of Kc value in terms of units?
Answer:
Both unitless and has units
Kc value can be either unitless or have units depending on the equilibrium expression. It is unitless when the number of moles of products equals the number of moles of reactants. Otherwise, it has units related to the concentration.
58
What happens when electricity is passed through a copper(II) sulfate solution using platinum electrodes?
Answer:
The solution's color becomes less vibrant
Passing electricity through a copper(II) sulfate solution using platinum electrodes causes the blue color to fade, as the copper ions are reduced
59
1 molar solution of glucose in water contains weight of glucose________________?
Answer:
180g/dm3

60
Which of the given acid solutions contains the highest concentration of H2SO4?
Answer:
1 Molar solution
A molar solution is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution, making it the most concentrated option. Molal and normal solutions have different definitions and concentrations.
