Because of the crystal structure of the ice, ice has lower density than liquid water. So the volume of the ice of same mass is greater than water. When melting, the volume will decrease.
        
             
        
        
        
(4) total number of valence electrons, because they exist in the same group.
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Mass of solution=100g
mass of salt=20g
so; mass of solute=80g
percentage composition =(mass of salt/total
mass) ×100
 =  \frac{20}{100}  \times 100 \\  = 20\%

Answer:
pKa = 3.675
Explanation:
∴ <em>C</em> X-281 = 0.079 M
∴ pH = 2.40
let X-281 a weak acid ( HA ):
∴ HA ↔ H+ + A-
⇒ Ka = [H+] * [A-] / [HA]
mass balance:
⇒<em> C</em> HA = 0.079 M = [HA] + [A-]
⇒ [HA] = 0.079 - [A-]
charge balance:
⇒ [H+] = [A-] + [OH-]... [OH-] is negligible; it comes from to water
⇒ [H+] = [A-]
∴ pH = - log [H+] = 2.40
⇒ [H+] = 3.981 E-3 M
replacing in Ka:
⇒ Ka = [H+]² / ( 0.079 - [H+] )
⇒ Ka = ( 3.981 E-3 )² / ( 0.079 - 3.981 E-3 )
⇒ Ka = 2.113 E-4
⇒ pKa = - Log ( 2.113 E-4 )
⇒ pKa = 3.675
