Answer:

The coordination number.

Explanation:

The coordination number is defined as the number of atoms surrounding an atom in a crystal lattice and indicates how tightly the atoms are packed together.

Coordination number is also known as ligancy in chemistry and it basically refers to the total or overall number of neighboring ions, atoms or molecules with respect to a central atom in a crystal lattice. The term coordination number was first defined by the notable and amiable Swiss chemist by the name, Alfred Werner in 1893.

Generally, the coordination number of an atom in a crystal lattice can have a minimum value of two (2) and a maximum value of sixteen (16). It is usually determined by the size of the ligands, central atom and the charge associated with the electronic configuration of an ion. For example, the coordination number of carbon in methane (CH4) is four (4) because an atom of carbon has four (4) atoms of hydrogen bonded to it.

What is the pH of a solution has a hydrogen ion concentration of 6.3 x 10–10 M? Show work
NISA [10]

Answer:

pOH = 4.8

pH = 9.2

Explanation:

Given data:

Hydrogen ion concentration = 6.3×10⁻¹⁰M

pH of solution = ?

pOH of solution = ?

Solution:

Formula:

pH = -log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = Hydrogen ion concentration

We will put the values in formula to calculate the pH.

pH = -log [6.3×10⁻¹⁰]

pH = 9.2

To calculate the pOH:

pH + pOH = 14

We will rearrange this equation.

pOH = 14 - pH

now we will put the values of pH.

pOH = 14 - 9.2

pOH = 4.8

Give three examples, from the lab, where potential energy was converted to kinetic energy.
GREYUIT [131]

Give 3 Examples of where potential energy was converted to knlinetic energy:

Curtain

A ball before moving

An apple from the tree then falling down

When the Curtains are still, we call the that potential energy. If you move the curtains around, that is kinetic energy

The ball is still, that is potential energy. Then the ball is moving, the is kinetic energy

There is a apple ganging from a tree, that is potential energy. That apple is fall, this is kinetic energy

Hope this helps

Don't type or write in the answer, I'm not sure what from the lab means. These are a few potential into kinetic energy I could have think of!

HELP PLEASE<br>Explain why the elements of group 1 and 7 are quite reactive
Sauron [17]
Group 17 is the most readily reduced elements on the periodic table, meaning that they are so close to being a stable elements, only missing 1 electron to complete their valance electron shell. Thus they will essentially react with anything to get that last electron! 

Group 1 elements are extremely reactive because they are the most readily oxidized, they are very close to reaching stability by giving up only 1 electron. Thus they will react with almost anything to give up their electron.

A sample of seawater contains 1.3g of calcium ions in 3,100kg of solution. what is the calcium ion concentration of this solutio
MakcuM [25]
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
