Valency, the combining capacity of an element, is equal to the number of electrons needed, or required to be removed from the outermost shell of the atom of that element, to have a complete 'octet'. The helium atom has only the 1s orbital in its only shell, and it is completely filled with 2 electrons. Its electronic configuration is 1s2.<span>Therefore, helium and the other inert gases with complete octets normally do not take part in chemical reactions. They are considered as zero-valent elements.</span>

A solution of ammonia has a pH of 11.8. What is the concentration of OH– ions in the solution?
Basile [38]

Answer:

The answer is 2.20 M

Explanation:

This is because ammonia has a pH of 11.8 and if you take 14-11.8 it equals 2.2 so the answer is 2.20 M

If the velocity of a wave is 12 m/s and its frequency is 600 hertz, what would be its wavelength?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

<em>»</em><em> </em><em>λ </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>0</em><em>.</em><em>0</em><em>2</em><em>m</em>

Explanation:

Given :

Velocity of the wave {v}= 12 m/s

Frequency {f} = 600 Hz

Apply Wavelength formula :

• λ =  \frac{v}{f}

→ λ = \frac{12}{600}

→ λ = \frac{1}{50}

→ λ = 0.02m

Answers:

1) <span>Breaking Solvent-Solvent Attractions is an Endothermic Process.

2) </span><span>Breaking Solute-Solute Attractions is an Endothermic Process.

3) </span><span>Forming Solute-Solvent Attractions is an Exothermic Process.

Explanation:
                   When a solute is dissolved in solvent it either releases heat or absorbs heat depending upon the the interactions broken and interactions formed. At first, the solvent solvent interactions are broken , this process requires heat which is provided either from external source or is provided by the forming of solute solvent bond forming process which is exothermic.

When the solvent molecules get apart the solute particles enter to form interactions with elimination of heat. So, if the heat required to break solvent solvent interactions is greater than the heat provided by solute solvent interactions formation then the solute will not dissolve at room temperature and vice versa.</span>
