Nonmetals form negatively charged ions, or anions. They do this because they need to gain one to three electrons in order to achieve an octet of valence electrons, making them isoelectronic with the noble gas at the end of the period to which they belong.
The best answer for this question would be B
Answer:
Take approx 41.7 mL of 12-M HCl in a 1.00-L flask and fill the rest of the volume with distilled water.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, for the dilution process from concentrated 12-M hydrochloric acid to 1.00 L of the diluted 0.50M hydrochloric acid, the volume of concentrated HCl you must take is computed by considering that the moles remain constant for all dilution processes as shown below:
Which can also be written in terms of concentrations and volumes:
Thus, solving for the initial volume or aliquot that must be taken from the 12-M HCl, we obtain:
It means that you must take approx 41.7 mL of 12-M HCl in a 1.00-L flask and fill the rest of the volume with distilled water for such preparation.
Best regards.
