<u>Answer:</u>

<em>A. 10.25</em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Pkb =4.77

So pka = 14 - pka = 9.23

Ka =10^{-pka}

H_3 BO_3 (aq)+ H_2 O(l) H_2 BO_3^- (aq)+H_3 O^+ (aq)

Initial                0.50M                                 0                                 0

Change                  -x                                 +x                               +x

Equilibrium    0.50M-x                               +x                               +x

Ka =\frac {((x)(x))}{(0.50M-x)}

5.88\times10^{-10}= \frac {x^2}{(0.50M-x)}

(-x is neglected) so we get

5.88\times10^{-10}\times0.50=x^2\\\\x^2=2.94\times10^{-10}

x=\sqrt{x^2}=1.72\times10^{-5} M=H^3 O^{+}

pH=-log[H^3 O^+]\\\\pH=-log[1.72\times10^{-5}]\\\\pH=4.76

pOH = 14 - pH

= 14 - 4.76

pOH = 9.24 is the answer

Option A - 10.25 is the answer which is close to 9.24

Which series of atomic numbers represents the ordering of consecutive elements within the periodic table?
statuscvo [17]

Atomic number is same as the number of protons in the element which is further equal to the number of electrons. As the number of electrons increases in the element, the atomic number of the element also increases.

In periodic table, elements are arranged in the groups, and these groups are columns starting from 1 to 18, elements are arranged in increasing order of atomic number. Elements are placed with difference of one atomic number.

First four elements present in the periodic table is:

He atomic number is one (1).

H atomic number is two (2).

Li atomic number is three (3).

Be atomic number is four (4).

Thus, the series of atomic numbers that represents the ordering of consecutive elements within the periodic table is the last option - 1, 2, 3, 4...

Zinc will displace copper from a solution of copper sulfate, and magnesium will displace zinc from a solution of zinc sulfate. W
Anna [14]

Answer:

The displacement reactions are regarded as redox reactions because they involve the formal transfer of electrons from one chemical specie to the other

2) The series of reactivity of the metals in the order of increasing reactivity are;

  • Copper

           ↓

  • Zinc

           ↓

  • Magnesium

Explanation:

1) Redox (oxidation-reduction) reaction is a chemical reaction involving the loss and gain of electrons from one chemical species to another, where the chemical species that undergoes oxidation, loses electrons and is termed the reducing agent, while the other chemical species that undergoes reduction, gains electrons, and is termed the oxidizing agent

2) The redox reaction can being based on the affinity for electrons depends on the positions of the reactants in the electrochemical series as well as the chemical reactivity of the metals with zinc being a stronger reducing agent and more chemically reactive than copper and magnesium being a stronger reducing agent and more chemically reactive than zinc

Least  reactive (Cu)  <     (Zn)        < Mg Most reactive

Copper                     <      Zinc       < Magnesium.

Which of the following is NOT a product obtained from the distillation of coal tar?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Coke.

Explanation:

The distillation of coal tar can obtain aromatic compounds like benzene and toluene, and also phenolic compounds like phenol. Hence, the only option here that cannot be obtained from the distillation of coal tar is coke.

Hope this helped!
