Answer:

C. As scientists have learned more about chemicals, they have become more aware of their dangers

Explanation:

Chemicals are substances with standard compositions, held together by chemical bonds. Chemicals can exist in different phases such as solid, liquid, and gaseous phases. Over time, with a growing understanding of chemicals, their composition, and their reaction methods, scientists now have a better knowledge of the dangers chemicals can pose. To that effect, they have created standard safety measures for those who have to work with these chemicals.

When these guidelines are strictly adhered to, the chances of suffering accidents, burns, and explosions with these chemicals are significantly reduced.

If the [H3O+] of a solution is 1x 10-8 mol/L the [OH-] is

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

(H30+)= 1x10^-6 M

Explanation:

Both pH and pOH have a relationship to belonging to the same aqueous solution: the expression of the Kwater (ionic product of the water Kw) is used:

1x 10-8 mol/L equals to1x10-8 M

(H3O+) x (OH-) = 1x10^-14

(H30+)x 1x 10^-8 =1x10^-14

(H30+)= 1x10^-14/1x 10^-8

(H30+)= 1x10^-6 M

Boron has primarily two isotopes, one with an atomic mass of 11.0 amu and another with an atomic mass of 10.0 amu. If the abunda

Masja [62]

Answer:

The atomic mass of the boron atom would be 10.135

Explanation:

This is generally known as relative atomic mass.

Relative atomic mass or atomic weight is a physical quantity defined as the ratio of the average mass of atoms of a chemical element in a given sample to the atomic mass of 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom. Since both quantities in the ratio are masses, the resulting value is dimensionless; hence the value is said to be relative and does not have a unit.

Note that the relative atomic mass of atoms is not always a whole number because of it being isotopic in nature.

Divide each abundance by 100 then multiply by atomic mass
Do that for each isotope, then add the two result. Thus

Relative atomic mass of Boron = (18.5/100 x 11) + (81/100 x 10)

= 2.035 + 8.1

= 10.135

Why potasium more reactive than lithium and sodium

frez [133]

So potassium is more reactive than lithium because the outer electron of a potassium atom is further from its nucleus than the outer electron of a lithium atom. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.
