There are few elements that can form 12 electron rather than the usual 8. Therefore these are the possible answers:

Sulfur = 2Na + S --> Na2S <span>
Selenium = 2Na + Se --> Na2Se 
<span>Tellurium = 2Na + Te --> Na2Te</span></span>

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

1. Write the chemical equation

CH₃COO⁻ + H₂O ⇌ CH₃COOH + OH⁻; Kₐ = 2 × 10⁻⁵

Let's rewrite the equation as

A⁻ + H₂O ⇌ HA + OH⁻

2. Calculate Kb

K_{\text{b}} = \dfrac{K_{\text{w}}}{K_{\text{a}}} = \dfrac{1.00 \times 10^{-14}}{2 \times 10^{-5}} = 5 \times 10^{-10}

3. Set up an ICE table

                      A⁻ + H₂O ⇌ HA + OH⁻

I/mol·L⁻¹:      0.35                 0       0

C/mol·L⁻¹:       -x                  +x      +x

E/mol·L⁻¹:    0.35-x               x        x

4. Solve for x

\dfrac{\text{[HA ][OH$^{-}$]}}{\text{[A$^{-}$]}} = \dfrac{x^{2}}{0.35-x} = 5 \times 10^{-10}

Check for negligibility,

\dfrac{\text{[HA]}}{K_{\text{b}}} = \dfrac{0.35}{5 \times 10^{-10}} = 7 \times 10^{8}> 400\\\\\therefore x \ll 0.35\\\\\dfrac{x^{2}}{0.35} = 5 \times 10^{-10}\\\\x^{2} = 0.35 \times 5 \times 10^{-10} = 1.8\times 10^{-10}\\\\x = \sqrt{1.8\times 10^{-10}} = \mathbf{1 \times 10^{-5}}

5. Calculate the pOH

[OH⁻] = 1 × 10⁻⁵ mol·L⁻¹

pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(1 × 10⁻⁵) = 4.88

6. Calculate the pH.

pH + pOH = 14.00

pH + 4.88 = 14.00

pH = 9.12

Note: The answer differs from that given by Silberberg because you used only one significant figure for the Kₐ of acetic acid.

HELP ME PLEASE (brainliest)
Aloiza [94]

Answer: i would say D or the last one.

Explanation: According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants. The law of conservation of mass is useful for a number of calculations and can be used to solve for unknown masses, such the amount of gas consumed or produced during a reaction.

Hope this helps :) Can u plz mark me branliest
