Answer:
1x10^-8 M
Explanation:
Since the solution turns blue, it mean the solution is a base.
Now, to know which option is correct, we need to determine the pH of each solution. This is illustrated below:
1. Concentration of Hydrogen ion, [H+] = 1x10^-2 M
pH =..?
pH = - log [H+]
pH = - log 1x10^-2
pH = 2
2. Concentration of Hydrogen ion, [H+] = 5x10-2 M
pH =..?
pH = - log [H+]
pH = - log 5x10^-2
pH = 1.3
3. Concentration of Hydrogen ion, [H+] = 5x10 M
pH =..?
pH = - log [H+]
pH = - log 5x10
pH = - 1.7
4. Concentration of Hydrogen ion, [H+] = 1x10-8 M
pH =..?
pH = - log [H+]
pH = - log 1x10^-8
pH = 8
A pH reading shows if the solution is acidic or basic. A pH reading between 0 and 6 indicates an acidic solution, a pH reading of 7 indicates a neutral solution while a pH reading between 8 and 14 indicates a basic solution.
From the above calculations, the pH reading indicates a basic solution when the hydrogen ion concentration was 1x10^-8 M.
Answer:- Formula of the hydrate is
and it's name is Iron(III)sulfate pentahydrate.
Solution:- As per the given information, there is 18.4% water in the hydrate. If we assume the mass of the hydrate as 100 grams then there would be 18.4 grams of water and 81.6 grams of Iron(III)sulfate present in the hydrate.
Molar mass for Iron(III)sulfate is 399.88 gram per mol and the molar mass for water is 18.02 gram per mol.
We will calculate the moles of Iron(III)sulfate and water present in the compound on dividing their grams by their molar masses as:

= 

= 
Now, the next step is to calculate the mol ratio and for this we divide the moles of each by the least one of them means whose moles are less. Here, the moles of Iron(III)sulfate are less than moles of water. So, we divide the moles of each by 0.204.
= 1
= 5
There is 1:5 mol ratio between Iron(III)sulfate and water. So, the formula of the hydrate is
and the name of the hydrate is Iron(III)sulfate pentahydrate.
