Answer: 8, which is basic
Explanation: The hydrogen ion concentration is 1.0 x 10^-8 mole per liter. Using [H+] = 1.0 x 10 -(pH) the pH is 8. A pH above 7 is basic.
I believe the answer is C
<span> Au</span>₂(SeO₄)₃
O = -2 × 4 = -8
Se = + 6
So,
(+6 - 8) = -2
Means (SeO₄) contains -2 charge, Now multiply -2 by 3
-2 ₓ 3 = -6
Means,
Au₂ + (-6) = 0
Au₂ = +6
Or,
Au = 6 / 2
Au = +3
Result:
Au = +3
Se = +6
O = -2
Ni(CN)₂
Cyanide (CN⁻) contains -1 charge,
So,
N = -3
C = +2
Then,
Ni + (-1)₂ = 0
Ni - 2 = 0
Or,
Ni = +2
Result:
N = -3
C = +2
Ni = +2
