Answer:

To gain stability

Explanation:

If the outermost shell is not completely filled with electrons, the element has one of the three options: gaining electrons, losing electrons or sharing electrons. By gaining or losing electrons, ionic compounds are produced. Sharing of electrons results in the formation of covalent compounds.

Q=mc \Delta T \\\\
Q=168,2J\\
m=4g\\
c=4.184\frac{J}{g^{o}C}\\\\
\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mc}=\frac{167,2J}{4g*4,184\frac{J}{g^{o}C}}=9,99^{o}C\\\\
\Delta T = T_{f}-T_{i}\\\\
9,99^{o}C=T_{f}-10^{o}C\\\\
T_{f}=9,99^{o}C+10^{o}C=19,99^{o}C\approx20^{o}C

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  [H+]  = 0.0016

Explanation:

Data

pH = 2.8

[H+] of the solution = ?

Formula

pH = -log [H+]

process

                2.8 =  -log [H+]           then we get antilog

      antilog (-2.8 ) = [H+]    

      [H+]  = 0.0016
