(C) neon (atomic number 10)
Explanation:
The atom that is chemically inert is Neon with an atomic number of 10.
An atom is chemically inert if it does not willingly take part in chemical reaction.
Atoms takes part in chemical reactions in order to attain a stable configuration as seen in the noble gases.
In the noble gases every enable level is completely filled with the appropriate number of electrons.
- The noble gases are He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe
- These elements do not react with others.
- From the given option, Neon is a noble gas and therefore inert.

The HCl added = 1.25 moles
and the moles of Na2HPO4 = 1 mole
Now when acid is added in the given solution of Na2HPO4
One mole of H+ will react with one mole of Na2HPO4 to given one mole of NaH2PO4
Na2HPO4 + H+ ---> NaH2PO4
Now this one mole formed NaH2PO4 will further react with 0.25 moles of H+ left to form 0.25 moles of H3PO4 and 0.75 moles of NaH2PO4 will remain in the solution
So this will result into formation of a buffer of phosphoric acid and NaH2PO4
NaH2PO4 + H+ ---> H3PO4
pKa of H3PO4 = 2.1
so pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid] = 2.1 + log [0.75 / 0.25] = 2.58
so the pH will be in between 2.1 to 7.2
Bases
A base is a substance that dissociates into more hydroxide ions (-OH-) when dissolved in water. Bases are also good proton acceptors. Bases, therefore, reduce the number of H+ and increase OH- hence raising the pH of the solution.
B(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ BH⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)
Explanation:
Other properties of bases is that they are bitter to the taste and they feel slippery when touched. Strong bases are nonthlese very corrosive like acids. Bases turn red litmus paper blue. Most alkali hydroxides such as NaOH are bases.
