The compound HClO4 will dissociate into the ions, H+ and ClO4-. So, the 2.0 M solution will also form 2.0 M H+. The pH is calculated through the equation, pH = -log[H+] Substituting, pH = -log[2] = -0.3 So the pH of the solution is going to be -0.3.
I’m assuming this is a true and false question. The answer is true. Phosphorus has a larger atomic mass. Phosphorus is number 15 on the periodic table. Phosphorus is a non-metal.
