Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

They both have 1 valency electron so will be metallic and in the same Group (Group 1) of the Periodic Table, so will have similar properties.

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

  • X has an atomic number of 11 and hence it's sodium (Na) while Y has an atomic number of 3 and hence it is Lithium (Li).
  • The atomic mass of X is 23 while that of Y is 7
  • X has three electron shells while Y has two electron shells
  • X and Y cannot form a compound as there ions are both positively charged (cations). However, there ions both have a charge of +1; hence are univalent positive metals.
  • They are both metals and are found in group 1 of the periodic table
  • The are highly reactive metals because they have just one electron in there outermost shell
  • They react with halogens in group 7 to form salts
  • They dissolve in water to form alkaline

An average bushel of apples has a mass of 10 kg and contains 5 dozen apples.
Alina [70]

Answer:

Average mass of 6 apple  = 1 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Average mass of 5 dozen apple = 10 kg

Find:

Average mass of 6 apple

Computation:

Average mass of 6 apple  = [Average mass of 1 apple] x [6 apple]

Average mass of 6 apple  = [10/(12 x 5)] x [6]

Average mass of 6 apple  = 1 kg

When a solute is added to a solution why does it remain homogeneous?
Olenka [21]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

                 When a solute is added to a solution, it remains homogeneous because the solute is soluble in given solvent.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                         Homogeneous mixtures, also called true solutions are those mixtures in which the components proportions are same throughout in any given sample. For example, the mixture of table salt (NaCl) and water. When the solution is unsaturated and further NaCl is added to it, it will dissolve the NaCl because the saturation point is still not reached. Remember, as "<em>Like Dissolves Like</em>" NaCl being polar in nature will interact with water molecules and will dissociate into Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions surrounded by δ- O and δ+ H atoms of water molecules.

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

                  In order to form a Homogeneous mixture the solution must be unsaturated, solvent must have affinity for incoming solute particles and the size of solute should be equal to 1 Â (Angstrom).

By how much will the ph change if 0.025 mol of hcl is added to 1.00 l of the buffer that contains 0.15 m hc2h3o2 and 0.25 m c2h3
Setler [38]
According to the reaction equation:

              CH3COO-  + H+   → CH3COOH 

initial         0.25                             0.15

change     - 0.025                          + 0.025

Equ         (0.25-0.025)                 (0.15 + 0.025)

first, we have to get moles acetate and moles acetic acid:

moles of acetate = 0.25 - 0.025 = 0.225 moles

∴ [CH3COO-] = 0.225 mol / 1 L = 0.225 M

moles of acetic acid = 0.15 + 0.025 = 0.175 moles

∴ [ CH3COOH] = 0.175 mol / 1L = 0.175 M 

Pka = -㏒ Ka 

       = -㏒ 1.8 x 10^-5
       
       = 4.74

from H-H equation we can get the PH value:

PH = Pka + ㏒ [acetate / acetic acid]

PH = 4.74 + ㏒[0.225/0.175]

∴ PH = 4.8
