Why does the pH of neutral water drop when it is left out in an uncovered container on a worktop for a long period of time?

This question tests your knowledge on; the properties of non-metal oxides in solution, the concept of equilibrium, pH.

Non-metal oxides such as (CO2, P4O10, SO2, etc) are acidic in solution. When l...

What is the electronic configuration of Chlorine and of a chloride ion and explain why Chlorine is 'happiest' as a chloride ion.

Cl - 1s22s22p63s23p5

Cl- - 1s22s22p63s23p6

The 3p orbital is slightly unstable because of the single unpaired electron which is at a higher energy and wants to pair up, the 3p orbital is mor...

Describe briefly how you would show that manganese(II) ions catalyse the reaction between manganate(VII) ions and ethanedioate ions, in dilute sulphuric acid.

Mix the reagents and record the time taken for a specific observation, e.g. disappearance of colour which is characteristic for this chemical reaction. We repeat this step and add more manganese(II) ions;...
