<h3>Answer:</h3>

A. It is a very strong base.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

To answer the question we need to ask ourselves several questions

What is pH?

  • pH refers to the measure of alkalinity or acidity of a substance.

How is pH measured?

  • pH is measured by determining the concentration of Hydrogen ions (H⁺) in a given solution.
  • Then calculated by getting negative logarithm of hydrogen ions concentration.
  • That is, pH = -log[H⁺]

What does pH tell about a solution?

  • A solution with a pH below 7 is acidic while a solution with a pH above 7 is basic while that with a pH of 7 is neutral.
  • A pH of 1 to 3 represents a strong acid while a pH of 4 to 6 represents a weak acid.
  • Strong alkali or bases have a pH of 12 to 14 while weak alkali or bases have a pH of 8 to 11.
  • Therefore, a solution with a pH of 14 is a very strong base

An ion has a mass number of 65, 36 neutrons, and a charge of +1 . Identify the element symbol, and determine the number of proto
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Element symbol Cu

Number of protons 29

Number of electrons 28

Explanation:

To get the element symbol, we need the name of the element. To correctly identify the name of the element, we need the proton number.

Now the mass number is 65 and the number of neutrons is 36. The number of protons is this the mass number minus the number of neutrons. This equals 65 - 36 = 29 protons.

The element with 29 protons is copper Cu.

Now to get the number of electrons, for an electrically neutral atom , the number of electrons equals the number of protons. But here, the atom is not electrically neutral anymore as it has now formed a univalent positive ion of +1.

To form a positive ion, you have to do so by losing electrons. The atom in question here has just lost one electron. Thus, our of the 29, it is left with only 28 electrons.

Answer:

1. not enough dye was added to the drink.

The wrong dye was added to the drink

the water in the drink is evaporating

2. Changing the compound changes the absorbance behavior.

3. Measure the absorbance for the same solution in different cuvette sizes and find the y-intercept.

Explanation:

When the beverage company adds dye to the drink, there should be standard quantity added to the drink so that the color of the drink remains constant. When too much dye is added to the drink, the color will get dark brown or black. When the color of drink get lighter than green this means dye is not added in required quantity.

Describe what happens as ice changes to water.
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The energy of the particles increase and the molecules move more quickly.

Explanation:

The molecules are moving from a solid (barely moves, molecules close together) to a liquid (molecules slide past each other and take any shape), so molecules are moving more and have more energy
