Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Carbon element has 4 valence electrons and it has a unique ability to combine with different elements.

Also, carbon element is the basis of life as organic molecules are responsible for life an individual.

And, every organic compound contains carbon atom as the central element.  

Also, carbon has the ability to form long chains which is known as catenation property.

Thus, we can conclude that carbon element is able to combine in many ways with different elements and is therefore considered the basis of life.

If you start with 0.30 m mn2 , at what ph will the free mn2 concentration be equal to 4.6 x 10-11 m?
aksik [14]

If you start with 0.30 m Mn₂ , at 12.5 pH, free Mn₂ concentration be equal to 4.6 x 10⁻¹¹ m

Initial molarity of Mn₂ = 0.30 M

Final molarity of Mn₂ = 4.6 x 10⁻¹¹

pH = ?

Ksp [Mn(OH)₂] = 4.6 x 10⁻¹⁴ (standard value)

Write the ionic equation

    Mn(OH)₂   →    Mn⁺² + 2OH⁻

    [Mn⁺²] = 4.6 x 10⁻¹¹

We will calculate the concentration of OH⁻ by using Ksp expression

    Ksp = [Mn⁺²][OH-]²

    [Mn⁺²][OH⁻]² = 4.6 x 10⁻¹⁴

    [OH⁻]² = 4.6 x 10⁻¹⁴ / 4.6 x 10⁻¹¹

    [OH⁻]² = 10⁻³

    [OH⁻] = (10⁻³)¹⁽²

    [OH⁻] = 0.0316 M

Calculate the pOH

    pOH = -log [OH⁻]

    pOH =  -log [0.0316]

    pOH = 1.5

Now calculate pH

   pH = 14 - pOH

   pH = 14 - 1.5

   pH = 12.5

Which one of the following groups of chemical compounds is composed entirely of organic compounds?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Organic compounds are chemical compounds which usually contains one or more atoms of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and sometimes nitrogen or sulphur. Carbon and hydrogen are the main element that is contained in most organic compounds.

Option A is wrong because calcium phosphate is not an organic compound, although all the other compounds in the option are organic compounds.

Option B is wrong because calcium chloride is not an organic compound

Option C is wrong also as calcium sulphate is not an organic compound

Option D is correct as all are organic compounds
