Answer:
The resulting solution is basic.
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
First we <u>calculate the added moles of HNO₃ and KOH</u>:
- HNO₃ ⇒ 12.5 mL * 0.280 M = 3.5 mmol HNO₃
- KOH ⇒ 5.0 mL * 0.920 M = 4.6 mmol KOH
As <em>there are more KOH moles than HNO₃,</em> the resulting solution is basic.
A lone oxygen atom has 6 electrons in its outer shell which is not very stable, whereas as full octet (8 outer shell electrons) is stable. In order to achieve this two oxygen atoms will share 4 electrons, each contributing 2 electrons. Since these electrons exist within the orbitals of both atoms, to oxygen atoms essentially achieve a full octet.
Electrons absorb energy, as they absorb energy they go from ground state to excited state and to return to ground state electrons release energy in the form of photons producing that color.
There are 6 hydrogen atoms in every molecule of ethanol
