The reaction given is:
4Ga + P4 ---> 4GaP
The oxidation number of the reactants is zero, because they are pure elements.
The P in compounds may have oxidation states 3- or 5-. Gallium may only have oxidation state 3+.
Then, to be neutral in GaP the oxidation states are 3+ for Ga and 3- for P.
And the transference of electrons can be see in this oxidation - reduction equations:
Ga (0) - 3 e- ----> Ga (3+)
P (0) + 3e- ---> P (3-)
So, for one formula unit, 3 electrons have been transfered from each Ga atom to P atom to form one GaP unit.
Answer: 3 electrons.
It is a scientific hypothesis. A scientific hypothesis must be testable, however there is a significantly more grounded necessity that a testable speculation must meet before it can truly be viewed as logical. This foundation comes essentially from crafted by the rationalist of science Karl Popper, and is called "falsifiability".
PH is defined as the negative log of Hydrogen ion concentration. Mathematically we can write this as:
![pH=-log[H^{+}]=-log[H_{3}O]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-log%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%3D-log%5BH_%7B3%7DO%5D%20%20)
We are given the concentration of
. Using the value in formula, we get:
![pH=-log[1.8*10^{-4}]=3.745](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-log%5B1.8%2A10%5E%7B-4%7D%5D%3D3.745%20)
Therefore, the pH of the solution will be 3.745
Answer:
![\frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5BF%5E%7B-%7D%5D%7D%7B%5BHF%5D%7D)
is larger
Explanation:
, where 
is the acid dissociation constant.
For a monoprotic acid e.g. HA, ![K_{a}=\frac{[H^{+}][A^{-}]}{[HA]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_%7Ba%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%5BA%5E%7B-%7D%5D%7D%7B%5BHA%5D%7D)
and ![\frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}=\frac{K_{a}}{[H^{+}]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5BA%5E%7B-%7D%5D%7D%7B%5BHA%5D%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7BK_%7Ba%7D%7D%7B%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%7D)
So, clearly, higher the value , lower will the the 
In this mixture, at equilibrium, ![[H^{+}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D)
will be constant.
of HF is grater than of HCN
Hence, ![(\frac{F^{-}}{[HF]}=\frac{K_{a}(HF)}{[H^{+}]})>(\frac{CN^{-}}{[HCN]}=\frac{K_{a}(HCN)}{[H^{+}]})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28%5Cfrac%7BF%5E%7B-%7D%7D%7B%5BHF%5D%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7BK_%7Ba%7D%28HF%29%7D%7B%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%7D%29%3E%28%5Cfrac%7BCN%5E%7B-%7D%7D%7B%5BHCN%5D%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7BK_%7Ba%7D%28HCN%29%7D%7B%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%7D%29)
So, is larger
