<span>The scientific method is a systematic way of questioning about the world around us and answering questions. The number of steps varies from one description to another, mainly when data and analysis are separated into separate step, but this is a fairly standard list of 6 scientific method steps, which you are expected to know for any science class:
1. Form a Hypothesis. This is a sort of educated guess about what you expect.
2. Design an Experiment to test your hypothesis. An experiment has an independent and dependent variable. You change or control the independent variable and record the effect it has on the dependent variable.
3. Conduct Experiment
4. Record data and observations and analyze what the data means. Often, you'll prepare a table or graph of the data.
5. Form a Conclusion. Conclude whether to accept or reject your hypothesis. Communicate your results.</span>
Answer:
Potassium (K) = (2,8,8,1)
This is the element that has three(3) filled energy level and one valence electron
It depends. many of the websites i see answering the questions are all over the place, but good luck.
We assume that we have Ka= 4.2x10^-13 (missing in the question)
and when we have this equation:
H2PO4 (-) → H+ + HPO4-
and form the Ka equation we can get [H+]:
Ka= [H+] [HPO4-] / [H2PO4] and we have Ka= 4.2x10^-13 & [H2PO4-] = 0.55m
by substitution:
4.2x10^-13 = (z)(z)/ 0.55
z^2 = 2.31x 10^-13
z= 4.81x10^-7
∴[H+] = 4.81x10^-7
when PH equation is:
PH= -㏒[H+]
= -㏒(4.81x10^-7) = 6.32
