It is more likely to be 9 as pH 8 and above are Alkali (Base) and alkali solutions don't tend to react with metals.

Hope this helps :) ~

Answer:

9

Explanation:

One of the properties common to all acids is reaction with metals. Dilute acids react with metals to form the corresponding metal salt and hydrogen gas. Since the solution could either be an acid or base, once it does not react with a metal, we can conclude that it is a base and should be the solution having a pH of 9.

Answer:

The answer is "42537.93 \ C".

Explanation:

Molar mass : Z_n = 65.38 \ \frac{g}{mol}\\\\

Could the mechanism for the reaction of crystal violet with sodium hydroxide consist of one elementary step? Explain.
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Let's write the reaction as

CV⁺+ OH⁻ ⟶ CVOH

The reaction is first order in [CV⁺] and in [OH⁻], so the rate law is

rate = k[CV⁺][OH⁻]

A bimolecular collision between a crystal violet ion and a hydroxide ion as an elementary step would predict the observed rate law.

However, other plausible mechanisms may predict the same rate law.

An _______ bond forms when a cation transfers its extra electron to an anion who needs it.
Nitella [24]
An c.ionic  bond forms when a cation transfers its extra electron to an anion who needs it.
For example compound magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) has ionic bond (<span>the </span>electrostatic attraction<span> between oppositely charged </span><span>ions)</span>. Magnesium transfers two electrons (became positive cation) to chlorine (became negative anion).

If you have 100 grams of a chemical with a half-life of 8 days, then how much will you have after 40 days?
dedylja [7]

Answer:

option d = 3.125 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of chemical = 100 g

Half life = 8 days

mass left after 40 days = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the total half life's,

half life's = T (elapsed) / T half life

half life's = 40 / 8 = 5

starting mass = 100 g

  half life's         1           2          3             4               5

 Mass             100/2    50/2      25/2       12.5/2       6.25/2

                         50 g        25 g        12.5 g      6.25 g        3.125 g
