-number of electrons
-atom size
-charge of the atom
-number of protons
The correct answer is a. This is because the pH of a solution is defined as -log10(concentration of H+ ions). An inverse logarithmic scale such as this means that a solution with a lower concentration of H+ ions will have a higher pH than one with a higher concentration. Therefore we know that the pH of the second sample will be higher than the first.
Since the logarithmic scale has the base 10, a change by 1 on the scale is a consequence of multiplication/division of the H+ concentration by a factor of 10. As the scale is inverse, this means that a decrease of concentration by factor 1000 is equivalent to increasing the pH by (1000/10) = 3.
13.6
a) yes Pb is more reactive that Ag, Pb before Ag
b) no, Cu after H
c) yes, Cl2 is more active than I2
4) yes, Mg is more active
13.7 (as I think)
Al ³⁺ more active than Zn²⁺, Mn can react with Zn²⁺, but not with Al ³⁺ , because Mn after Al but before Zn
Answer:
Zinc is Zn and Magnesium is Mg
