Answer:
0.043 M
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
- Ca(OH)₂ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + 2H₂O
First we <u>calculate how many HCl moles reacted</u>, using the <em>given concentration and volume required to reach the equivalence point</em>:
- 0.029 M HCl * 37.3 mL = 1.0817 mmol HCl = 1.0817 mmol H⁺
As 1 mol of H⁺ reacts with 1 mol of OH⁻, in the 25.0 mL of the Ca(OH)₂ sample there are 1.0817 mmoles of OH⁻.
With that in mind we can <u>calculate the hydroxide ion concentration in the original sample solution</u>, using <em>the calculated number of moles and given volume</em>:
- 1.0817 mmol OH⁻ / 25.0 mL = 0.043 M
I'm not writing random things to reach the 20 character requirement so I can tell you that Magnesium has the least amount of atoms.
Because they are closer to the farther end of the periodic table. Since they are closer to the farther end they don't want to give away their electrons because it would be easier for them to just steal them from other atoms.
Here is an image of the periodic table. Hope this helps.
