Answer:

The correct answer is 16.8 g (option C)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

9.78 grams + 7.0 grams

Rule significant numbers say:

⇒ Non-zero digits are always significant.

⇒ Any zeros between two significant digits are significant.

⇒ A final zero or trailing zeros in the decimal portion ONLY are significant.

For addition and subtraction, look at the places to the decimal point.  Add or subtract in the normal way, then round the answer to the LEAST number of places to the decimal point of any number in the problem.

9.78 g+ 7.0 g = 16.78 grams

Significant numbers = 1 decimal

16.78 ⇒ 16.8

The correct answer is 16.8 g (option C)

The tendency of an atom to pull electrons toward itself is referred to as its _____. ionic potential tonicity covalency electron

Electronegativity

The tendency of an atom to pull electrons towards itself is called electronegativity.

It is the tendency of an atom to attract bonding pair of electrons towards itself. These atoms which are more electronegative are able to bear a negative charge and be stable.

Unlike electropositive elements which tend to lose electrons , electronegative elements hold on tightly to the electrons.

The electronegativity is measured using the Pauling Scale where the most electronegative element of the periodic table, Fluorine , is given a value of 4 and the rest of the elements have values lower than 4 according to the trends followed by their groups and periods.

The least electronegative element of the periodic table , Cesium has a value of 0.7 on the Pauling Scale.

Electronegativity increases when we move from left to right in the periodic table and it decreases (in general) when we move down the group.

The pOH of a solution is 10.75. What is the concentration of OH– ions in the solution?. A. –1.031 M. B. 1.778 x 10–11 M. C. 5.62
zloy xaker [14]
We are given the pOH of the solution of 10.75. pOH is the property of the solution that is related to the OH ion concentration of the solution. THe formula to be followed is pOH = -log (OH); OH- = 10^-pOH. In this case, OH-  = 10^-10.75 equal to B. 1.778 x 10^-11 M
