Answer:

The pH of a solution of 0.00278 M of HClO₄ is 2.56

Explanation:

pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity that indicates the amount of hydrogen ions present in a solution or substance and is calculated as:

pH= - log [H⁺]= - log [H₃O⁺]

On the other hand , a Strong Acid is that acid that in an aqueous solution dissociates completely. In other words, a strong acid completely dissociates into hydrogen ions and anions in solution.

HClO₄ is a strong acid, so in aqueous solution it will be  totally dissociated. Then, the concentration of protons is equal to the initial concentration of  acid and the pH will be calculated:

pH= - log 0.00278

pH= 2.56

<u><em>The pH of a solution of 0.00278 M of HClO₄ is 2.56</em></u>

Which element is considered the foundation for making organic compounds
Rasek [7]

Answer: Carbon

Explanation: Organic compounds are those made by carbon atoms that link to other carbon or elements such as nitrogen, hydrogen or oxygen with covalent bonds.

The presence of these compounds were associated with living things, because most of them are produced by plants or animals. However nowdays substances like polymers and other synthetically made molecules can also be considered as organic since they are made of carbon.

A compound that is composed of molybdenum (Mo) and oxygen (O) was produced in a lab by heating molybdenum over a Bunsen burner.
irakobra [83]
First, we determine the mass of each element from the data collected. We can get the mass of molybdenum Mo from the difference between the mass of crucible and molybdenum and the mass of crucible:
     Mass of molybdenum = 39.52 – 38.26 = 1.26 g Mo

We can calculate for the mass of molybdenum oxide from the difference between the mass of crucible and molybdenum oxide and the mass of crucible:
     Mass of molybdenum oxide = 39.84 – 38.26 = 1.58g 

We can now compute for the mass of oxygen O by subtracting the mass of molybdenum from the mass of molybdenum oxide:
     Mass of oxygen in molybdenum oxide = 1.58 – 1.26 = 0.32g O

To convert mass to moles, we use the molar mass of each element.
     1.26 g Mo * 1 mol Mo / 95.94 g Mo = 0.0131 mol Mo
     0.32 g O * 1 mol O / 15.999 g O = 0.0200 mol O

0.0131 mol is the smallest number of moles. We divide each mole value by this number:
     0.0131 mol Mo / 0.0131 = 1
     0.0200 mol O / 0.0131 = 1.53

Multiplying these results by 2 to get the lowest whole number ratio,
     0.0131 mol Mo / 0.0131 = 1 * 2 = 2
     0.0200 mol O / 0.0131 = 1.5 * 2 = 3
Thus, we can write the empirical formula as Mo2O3.
