Answer: The chemical formula for the compound of lithium and oxygen will be $Li_2O$

Explanation:

Ionic bond is defined as the bond which is formed when complete transfer of electrons takes place from one atom to another atom.

Lithium is the 3rd element of the periodic table with electronic configuration of $1s^22s^1$

This element looses 1 electron and shows an oxidation state of +1.

Oxygen is the 8th element of the periodic table with electronic configuration $1s^22s^22p^4$

This element will gain 2 electrons and shows an oxidation state of -2.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of oxygen becomes the coefficient of lithium and that of lithium becomes of oxygen.

Hence, the chemical formula for the compound obtained by the combination of lithium and oxygen is $Li_2O$

To prepare an acetic acid/acetate buffer, a technician mixes 30.6 mL of 0.0880 acetic acid and 21.6 mL of 0.110 sodium acetate i

enyata [817]

Answer: There are 0.00269 moles of acetic acid in buffer.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution in ml}}$ .....(1)

Molarity of acetic acid solution = 0.0880 M

Volume of solution = 30.6 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0880M=\frac{\text{Moles of acetic acid}\times 1000}{30.6ml}\\\\\text{Moles of acetic acid}=\frac{0.0880\times 30.6}{1000}=0.00269mol$

Thus there are 0.00269 moles of acetic acid in buffer.

The ph of a solution for which [OH]= 1.0 x 10^-4 is? A 10 B 14 C 11 D 9 E 7

zhenek [66]

To find pH, use the following formula ---> pH= - log [H+]

so first we need to calculate the [H+] concentration using the OH concentration. to do this, we need to use this formula--> 1.0x10-14= [H+] X [OH-], so we solve for H+ and plug in

[H+]= 1.0X10-14/[OH-]---> 1.0 x 10-14/ 1.0 x 10-4= 1.0 x 10-10

now that we have the H+ concentration, we can solve of pH

pH= -log (1.0x10-10)= 10

answer is A
