group of atoms that gains or loses electrons is called _______. A. a polar ion B. a non-polar ion C. a polyatomic ion D. a commo
1 answer:
Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
An ion is defined as a specie which is formed when a neutral atoms tends to gain or lose an electron.
When a neutral atom gain an electron then it forms a negative ion whereas when a neutral atom tends to lose an electron then it forms a positive ion.
For example, a neutral fluorine atom on gaining an electron will form ion. And, a sodium atom on losing an electron forms
ion.
When a group of atoms form ions then it tends to form polyatomic ions.
Thus, we can conclude that group of atoms that gains or loses electrons is called a polyatomic ion.

<h2>Question:- </h2>
A solution has a pH of 5.4, the determination of [H+].
<h2>Given :- </h2>- pH:- 5.4
- pH = - log[H+]
Take negative to other side
-pH = log H+
multiple Antilog on both side
(Antilog and log cancel each other )
Antilog (-pH) = [ H+ ]
New Formula :- Antilog (-pH) = [+H]
Now put the values of pH in new formula
Antilog (-5.4) = [+H]
we can write -5.4 as (-6+0.6) just to solve Antilog
Antilog ( -6+0.6 ) = [+H]
Antilog (-6) × Antilog (0.6) = [+H]
put the value in equation
Answer: The rate constant is
Explanation ;
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant = ?
t = age of sample = 4.26 min
a = initial amount of the reactant = 2.56 mg
a - x = amount left after decay process = 2.50 mg
Now put all the given values in above equation to calculate the rate constant ,we get
Thus rate constant is [tex]0.334s^{-1}
