Aluminium has 3 valance electrons in its outer shell. This means that it would need to give up 3 electrons to achieve a full octet.
Unit ppm stands for parts per million. in terms of mass, ppm is equivalent to mg/kg.
since 1 kg is 10⁻⁶ mg, 1 kg is equivalent to million mg.
therefore mg/kg is also ppm.
there are 1.3 g of Ca ions in 3100 kg
if 3100 kg contains - 1.3 g of Ca
then 1 kg contains - 1.3 g / 3100 kg
then Ca ions - 0.42 x 10⁻³ g/kg
Ca ion concentration - 0.42 mg/kg
therefore Ca ion concentration is 0.42 ppm
Answer is: <span>pH of the water is 8.33, this is basic solution (pH is greater than seven).
</span>[H₃O+] = 4.60·10⁻⁹ M; equilibrium concentration of hydronium ion.
pH = -log[H₃<span>O+].
</span>pH = -log(4.60·10⁻⁹ M).
pH = 8.33.
pH (potential of
hydrogen) is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity <span>an aqueous
solution.
