First of all, Carbon Monoxide is a gas, not a solution. To find the acidity or alkalinity of a solution [the 'potential of hydrogen or the 'ph'] there has to be hydrogen present, which you do not have in CO, carbon monoxide. The first answer above needs a bit of clarification. Gasses often dissolve in liquid solvents to form solutions. Well known examples include Ammonia-Water, Chlorine-Water, Carbon Dioxide-Water, and Nitrogen Dioxide-Water. The amount of gas held in the solution depends on temperature, pressure, and sometimes, the presence of other chemicals (cosolvents or catalysts). Carbon monoxide (CO) also dissolves in water, though not as well as carbon dioxide (CO2). When CO dissolves in water, some amount of formic acid (HCOOH) is produced; the solution is thus weakly acidic. There are at least two industrial processes known to this writer that involve dissolving CO in water. In one, CO is dissolved in water to make an antibacterial rinse for meat processing. In the other, CO is dissolved in water for the express purpose of manufacturing formic acid. (Industrially, this reaction occurs at elevated temperature and pressure in the presence of an amine. At room temperature, this reaction is energetically not very favorable.) See US Patent 5,334,759 (1994).
What else can I help you with?
What is the pH of carbon monoxide?
1: Carboxylic acids are not a single acid but a class of acids with varying acidities. 2: pH depends on the concentration of an acid as well as its strength, so ther is no definite pH.
Is carbon monoxide amphoteric?
No, carbon monoxide is not amphoteric. An amphoteric substance can act as both an acid and a base, but carbon monoxide does not exhibit this behavior. Instead, it tends to act as a ligand in forming metal complexes.
A solution with pH of 8.5 is?
it is a basic.
Why carbon monoxide do not make acid rain?
Carbon monoxide does not contribute to acid rain because it is not a product of sulfur or nitrogen combustion, which are the main culprits in the formation of acid rain. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas produced by incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels. Acid rain forms when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides react with water vapor in the atmosphere to create sulfuric and nitric acids.
What would happen to the overall pH if you dumped a strong acid into a solution that was slightly alkaline?
The final pH of the mixture will depend on how much of the strong acid you add. The initial amount of acid will neutralize the alkaline solution, and if there is enough of the strong acid, the final pH will then become acidic, i.e. pH < 7.
Is carbon dioxide an alkaline solution?
No, carbon dioxide is not an alkaline solution. It is a colorless gas that is slightly acidic when dissolved in water, forming carbonic acid.
Is cardon monoxide an acidic or an alkaline sudstance how can you prove this?
Carbon monoxide is a neutral gas and is neither acidic nor alkaline. Its pH is around 7. To prove this, you could test the substance with litmus paper; if it does not change color, it indicates that it is neutral.
What oxides reacts with neither hydrochloric acid nor aqueous sodium hydroxide solution?
Carbon monoxide is an oxide that does not react with either hydrochloric acid or aqueous sodium hydroxide solution.
Could carbon monoxide causes acid rain?
Not directly; carbon doxide can cause an acid rain.
Will the solution at the end point of an acidbase titration be acidic neutral or alkaline if it is a weak acid and strong base?
The solution at the endpoint of an acid-base titration involving a weak acid and a strong base will be alkaline. This is because the weak acid will have been neutralized by the strong base, resulting in excess hydroxide ions in the solution causing it to be alkaline.
What is the pH of carbon monoxide?
1: Carboxylic acids are not a single acid but a class of acids with varying acidities. 2: pH depends on the concentration of an acid as well as its strength, so ther is no definite pH.
Is ammonium chloride acid or alkali?
An ammonia solution is alkaline.
Which substance neutralize acid without leaving an alkaline solution?
Magnesium oxide is a substance that can neutralize acid without leaving an alkaline solution. When it reacts with an acid, magnesium oxide forms magnesium chloride and water, with no excess alkalinity left in the solution.
When carbonic acid decomposes carbon monoxide is one of the products true or false?
False. When carbonic acid decomposes, one of the products is carbon dioxide, not carbon monoxide. Carbonic acid (H2CO3) breaks down into water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
Is carbon monoxide amphoteric?
No, carbon monoxide is not amphoteric. An amphoteric substance can act as both an acid and a base, but carbon monoxide does not exhibit this behavior. Instead, it tends to act as a ligand in forming metal complexes.
Is alkaline solution an acid?
No, an alkaline solution is a basic solution, not an acid. Alkaline solutions have a pH greater than 7, indicating that they have a higher concentration of hydroxide ions compared to hydrogen ions. Acids, on the other hand, have a pH lower than 7.
A solution with pH of 8.5 is?
it is a basic.
