Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The $[H^{+}]$ and $[OH^{-}]$ are interdependent on each other that is if the concentration of $H^+$ ions is high then the concentration of $OH^-$ ions is low and vice versa.

The pH of a substance can be calculated as follows.

pH = -log $[H^{+}]$

This means when the concentration of $H^+$ ions is high then the pH of the solution or substance will be low.

It is also known that pH + pOH = 14, or pOH = 14 - pH.

Thus, we can conclude that when the pH is low then the pOH will be high and vice versa.

Therefore, option (B) is the correct answer that is a low [OH– ] and a high pOH.

Answer:

II and IV.

Explanation:

I. (INCORRECT). A model is a tentative to determinate a thing that can't be proved, and it's made based on evidence. If the model can explain the observation in nature, it is considered right, although it can be proved by a theory.

II. (CORRECT). The most accepted model of atoms says that they're formed by tiny particles, protons, neutrons, and electrons, with the first two on the nucleus, and the other surrounding it in an open space.

III. (INCORRECT). A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture of substances that is possible to identify phases of them, such as in oil and water. In the air, isn't possible to identify the constituents, and it's a homogeneous mixture.

IV. (CORRECT). Silver has atomic number 47, which is its number of protons. The atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons, so the number of neutrons is 108 - 47 = 61.
