Silicone is a type of synthetic compound made of silicon, oxygen, and other elements. There are many different kinds of silicone. One kind is a liquid and is commonly used as a lubricant to reduce friction between moving parts. Unlike petroleum-based lubricants, silicone is nontoxic. However, silicone is more expensive than petroleum-based lubricants. Which of the following would silicone lubricants most likely be used for?

Calculate the ratio of h+ ions to oh– ions at a ph = 7. find the concentration of h+ ions to oh– ions listed in table b of your student guide. then divide the h+ concentration by the oh– concentration. record this calculated ratio in table a of your student guide. compare your approximated and calculated ratios of h+ ions to oh– ions at a ph = 7. are they the same? why or why not? record your comparison in table a. what is the concentration of h+ ions at a ph = 7? mol/l what is the concentration of oh– ions at a ph = 7? mol/l what is the ratio of h+ ions to oh– ions at a ph = 7? : 1
