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

Calculate the number of atoms of sodium in a 4.5-gram sample

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

1.18×10²³ atoms.

Explanation:

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.

From the above concept, 1 mole of sodium also contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.

1 mole of sodium = 23 g.

Thus,

23 g of sodium contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.

Therefore, 4.5 g of sodium will contain = (4.5 × 6.02×10²³)/23 = 1.18×10²³ atoms.

From the above calculation,

4.5 g of sodium contains 1.18×10²³ atoms.

A reasonable pka for a weak base is: 10.3 0.9 5.8 7.4 13.1

andriy [413]

Answer:

0.9

Explanation:

The pka represents the force by which the molecules need to dissociate for the acids ,

Hence , lower the pka stronger will be the acid and that therefore will dissociate completely and vice versa , for a weak acid higher the pka .

And in case of a base , it will be completely reversed , lower pKa , weaker base ,

and higher pKa , stronger base .

From the data of the question ,

0.9 is the lowest value of the pKa , hence , weakest base .

Group the following electron configurations in pairs that would represent similar chemical properties at their atoms;

marishachu [46]

Answer: Pairs are: (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)

Explanation:

In a periodic table, elements are arranged in 18 vertical columns known as groups and 7 horizontal rows known as periods.

Elements arranged in a group show similar chemical properties because of the presence of same number of valence electrons.

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an atom. Outermost shell has the highest value of 'n' that is principal quantum number.

For the given options:

For a:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^2$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2

For b:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^3$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5

For c:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8

For d:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^2$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2

For e:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^6$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8

For f:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5

Electronic configuration of (a) and (d) will form a pair, (b) and (f) will form a pair, (c) and (e) will form a pair and will have similar chemical properties.

Hence, the pairs are: (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)
