The pH of a solution is 8. Some hydrochloric acid is added to the solution. Suggest the pH of the solution after mixing. pH=??

By adding acid to hydrogencarbonate you create a large concentration of CO2 in solution causing the solution to be highly supersaturated. This keeps the pH down as CO2 is in equilibrium with carbonic acid. During the day long mixing the excess CO2 strips off and as acid leaves the solution the pH increases.

Explanation:

Hope it helps

it's will most likely be in the neutral.

Explanation:

If the pH of the solution was 8 then it's in the basic medium hence adding an acid causes a neutralization reaction to occur forming salt and water

"you start with 15.67 g mgco3-xh2o, when heated and all the water is removed, you are left with 7.58 g mgco3 only.

therefore, you had 15.67 - 7.58 = 8.09g h2o  

moles of each :

7.58g mgco3 = ? moles = 7.58g / 83.4g/mole = 0.09moles  

8 09g h2o = ? moles = 8.09g / 18g/mole = 0.44moles  

molar ratio between the two by dividing both numbers by the smallest number :

0.09 / 0.09 = 1  

0.44 / 0.09 = 4.8  

mgco3-5h2o"

your answer would be “dry”
