They are also called the noble gases or inert gases. They are virtually unreactive towards other elements or compounds. They are found in trace amounts in the atmosphere. Their elemental form at room temperature is colorless, odorless and monatomic gases. They also have full octet of eight valence electrons in their highest orbitals so they have a very little tendency to gain or lose electrons to form ions or share electrons with other elements in covalent bonds.

Which solution below has the highest concentration of hydroxide ions?a. pH= 3.21b. pH= 7.00c. pH= 7.93d. pH= 12.59e. pH= 9.82
Sloan [31]

Answer:

  • <em>The solution that has the highest concentration of hydroxide ions is </em><u>d. pH = 12.59.</u>

Explanation:

You can solve this question using just some chemical facts:

  1. pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity: the higher the pH the lower the acidity and the higher the alkalinity.
  2. The higher the concentration of hydroxide ions the lower the acidity or the higher the alkalinity of the solution, this is the higher the pH.

Hence, since you are asked to state the solution with the highest concentration of hydroxide ions, you just pick the highest pH. This is the option d, pH = 12.59.

These mathematical relations are used to find the exact concentrations of hydroxide ions:

  • pH + pOH = 14 ⇒ pOH = 14 - pH

  • pOH = - log [OH⁻] ⇒ [OH^-]=10^{-pOH}

Then, you can follow these calculations:

Solution    pH        pOH                            [OH⁻]

a.               3.21       14 - 3.21 = 10.79        antilogarithm of 10.79 = 1.6 × 10⁻¹¹

b.               7.00      14 - 7.00 = 7.00        antilogarithm of 7.00 = 10⁻⁷

c.                7.93      14 - 7.93 = 6.07        antilogarithm of 6.07 = 8.5 × 10⁻⁷

d.               12.59     14 - 12.59 = 1.41        antilogarithm of 1.41 = 0.039

e.               9.82      14 - 9.82 = 4.18        antilogarithm of 4.18 = 6.6 × 10⁻⁵

From which you see that the highest concentration of hydroxide ions is for pH = 12.59.

Select the correct answer.
bazaltina [42]

C. Magma from venus mantle erupted as lava.

Explanation:

A volcano is a land form which results from the eruption of molten rocks (lava) on the surface. Volcanic rocks are a special type of igneous rock that forms when molten rock cools and solidifies on the surface.

For a planet like Venus which is presently not active and little to no movement occurs within the plates, the volcanisim must have occurred when the planet was relatively young and it must have been millions of years ago.

It is widely believed that Venus was geologically active in times past. Mantle generated lava must have solidified on the surface in times past to have formed the volcano.

Evaluating other options:

Impact of space objects on Venus would lead to the formation of a crater which is a depression on the surface. The rock would be mostly metamorphic.

If water was ever present in Venus, they would have produced sedimentary rocks instead. The erosive power of water is not high enough to cut through the crust. Also, water would not aid the formation of volcanoes.

Heat is not enough to from volcanoes. Other factors are also in play.

Which radioisotope is a beta emitter?(1) 90Sr (3) 37K(2) 220Fr (4) 238U
Ulleksa [173]
The answer is (1) 90 Sr. The definition of beta decay is that a type of radioactive decay in which one proton will change to one neutron and release one electron inside the nucleus. And 90Sr is a common beta emitter.
