The valence electron of an atom has the highest energy level and is found on the outermost energy level. It is also the group number

It's how many are in the element's outer layer. The layers go: 2, 8, then 8.

Ex-6 electrons. 1 layer is 2, the next layer has 4 left. If that layer holds 8, you can do 8-4 and it has 4 valence electrons.

Ex-10 electrons. 1 layer is 2, the next layer has 0 left. It has 8 valence electrons because the outermost layer is full with 8.

ex-11 electrons. 1 layer is 2, the next layer is full as well. 2+8=10; it has 1 left. So that element has only one valence electron.

The ka of hypochlorous acid (hclo) is 3.0 x 10-8 at . what is the % ionization of hypochlorous acid in a 0.015 m aqueous solutio
Ahat [919]

Answer is: the % ionization of hypochlorous acid is 0.14.

Balanced chemical reaction (dissociation) of an aqueous solution of hypochlorous acid:

HClO(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + ClO⁻(aq).

Ka = [H⁺] · [ClO⁻] / [HClO].

[H⁺] is equilibrium concentration of hydrogen cations or protons.

[ClO⁻] is equilibrium concentration of hypochlorite anions.

[HClO] is equilibrium concentration  of hypochlorous acid.

Ka is the acid dissociation constant.

Ka(HClO) = 3.0·10⁻⁸.

c(HClO) = 0.015 M.

Ka(HClO) = α² · c(HClO).

α = √(3.0·10⁻⁸ ÷ 0.015).

α = 0.0014 · 100% = 0.14%.

What is the chemical composition of hot chocolate?
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Hot chocolate is as straightforward as drinks go: at its core, it's milk, cocoa powder, and sugar. Despite its simplicity, this cold-weather classic is swirling with science. The backbone of any decent hot chocolate is milk. Beyond water, milk is perhaps the most basic and familiar substance to humans.
