Döbereiner grouped the known elements into <em>triads</em> (sets of three) so that
• The <em>atomic mass of the middle element</em> was approximately the average of the other two
• The <em>chemical properties of the middle element</em> were between those of the other two
• The <em>physical properties of the middle element</em> were between those of the other two
One example of a triad is Li – Na – K.
(a) Atomic mass of Na = 23.0 u
Average atomic mass of Li and K = (6.9 u + 39.1 u)/2 = 46.0 u/2 = 23.0 u
(b) Li reacts slowly with water. Na reacts rapidly. Potassium reacts violently.
(c) Melting point of Na = 371 °C.
Average melting point of Li and K = (454 °C + 330 °C)/2 = 784 °C/2
= 392 °C
Answer:
[H₃O⁺] = [F⁻] = 2.2 x 10⁻² M. & [OH⁻] = 4.55 x 10⁻¹³.
Explanation:
- For a weak acid like HF, the dissociation of HF will be:
<em>HF + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + F⁻.</em>
[H₃O⁺] = [F⁻].
<em>∵ [H₃O⁺] = √Ka.C,</em>
Ka = 6.8 x 10⁻⁴, C = 0.710 M.
∴ [H₃O⁺] = √Ka.C = √(6.8 x 10⁻⁴)(0.710) = 2.197 x 10⁻² M ≅ 2.2 x 10⁻² M.
<em>∴ [H₃O⁺] = [F⁻] = 2.2 x 10⁻² M.</em>
<em></em>
∵ [H₃O⁺][OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴.
<em>∴ [OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴/[H₃O⁺]</em> = 10⁻¹⁴/(2.2 x 10⁻²) = <em>4.55 x 10⁻¹³.</em>

<u>How to find?</u></h3>
For solving this question, We need to know how to find moles of solution or any substance if a certain weight is given.
<h3>
<u>Solution:</u></h3>
Atomic weight of elements:
Ca = 40
C = 12
O = 16
❍ Molecular weight of
= 40 + 12 + 3 × 16
= 52 + 48
= 100 g/mol
❍ Given weight: 10 g
Then, no. of moles,
⇛ No. of moles = 10 g / 100 g mol‐¹
⇛ No. of moles = 0.1 moles
☄ No. of moles of Calcium carbonate in that substance = <u>0.1 moles</u>

The correct option is: CH4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O.
In writing chemical equations, the reactants are usually written to the left of the equation of the reaction while the products are written to the right of the reaction. An arrow pointing in the right direction shows the direction of the reaction. In the question given above, methane and oxygen are the reactants while carbon dioxide and water are the products. The options that states the chemical reaction correctly is option 1.
