Answer: Option C) 9.5

Explanation:

Given that,

pOH of solution = ?

pH of solution = 4.5 (it is an acidic solution because any pH values less than 7.0 is said to be acidic)

Recall that pH is the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration in the solution while pOH is the negative logarithm of hydroxide ion concentration in the solution.

Hence, pH + pOH = 14

4.5 + pOH = 14

pOH = 14 - 4.5

pOH = 9.5

Thus, the pOH of the same solution is 9.5

Which pair of elements form an ionic bond?

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

As an example I can say sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl).

Explanation:

An ionic bond occurs when a metal element reacts with a nonmetal element. Therefore in the answer given above the Na is metal and Cl is nonmetal and they form a molecule through ionic bonding.

Calculate the oxidation state of the underlined elements of K2 Cr2 O7

Semenov [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

In PbO2, oxygen exhibits an oxidation number of -2 (since it's not a peroxide or superoxide):

Let the oxidation number of Pb be x. Then, for the compound to be neutral, the oxidation numbers of all atoms should add up to zero.

⇒ x + (−2) + (−2) = 0

x = +4

So the oxidation no. of Pb is +4.

I hope this helps.

Use Lewis theory to determine the chemical formula for the compound formed between Sr and N.

mariarad [96]

Answer:

$Sr_3N_2$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the Lewis theory is based on the bonds formation between atoms via the valence electrons, we can verify the chemical formula of the compound formed by strontium and nitrogen by noticing that strontium has two valence electrons as it is in group IIA, for that reason, two nitrogens should be available for bonding. Therefore, since nitrogen is in group VA, it is said that three electrons are required to attain the octet (maximum amount bonded electrons), for that reason, three strontiums are should be available for bonding. In such a way, the formula should be:

$Sr_3N_2$

Regards.
