Explanation:
Phenolphthalein acts like a weak acid, so in aqueous solution, it has an acid form HIn, and the conjugate base In-, and the pH of it can be calculated by the Handerson-Halsebach equation:
pH = pKa + log[In-]/[HIn]
pKa = -logKa, and Ka is the equilibrium constant of the dissociation of the acid. [X] is the concentrantion of X. Thus,
i) pH = 4.9
4.9 = 9.7 + log[In-]/[HIn]
log[In-]/[HIn] = - 4.8
[In-]/[HIn] = 
[In-]/[HIn] = 1.58x10⁻⁵
ii) pH = 2.1
2.1 = 9.7 + log[In-]/[HIn]
log[In-]/[HIn] = -7.6
[In-]/[HIn] = 
[In-]/[HIn] = 2.51x10⁻⁸
iii) pH = 7.8
7.8 = 9.7 + log[In-]/[HIn]
log[In-]/[HIn] = -1.9
[In-]/[HIn] = 
[In-]/[HIn] = 0.0126
iv) pH = 11.5
11.5 = 9.7 + log[In-]/[HIn]
log[In-]/[HIn] = 1.8
[In-]/[HIn] = 
[In-]/[HIn] = 63.10
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of components making up a compound.
The percentage composition of each element has been given
therefore the mass present of each element in 100 g of compound is
B N H
mass 40.28 g 52.20 g 7.53 g
number of moles
40.28 g / 11 g/mol 52.20 g / 14 g/mol 7.53 g / 1 g/mol
= 3.662 mol = 3.729 mol = 7.53 mol
divide the number of moles by the least number of moles, that is 3.662
3.662 / 3.662 3.729 / 3.662 7.53 / 3.662
= 1.000 = 1.018 = 2.056
the ratio of the elements after rounding off to the nearest whole number is
B : N : H = 1 : 1 : 2
therefore empirical formula for the compound is B₁N₁H₂
that can be written as BNH₂
Answer: its the first one buster
While the number nuclear protons as given is 34, and therefore we deal with the element selenium, there are 2 more electrons than protons, and therefore this species has an overall
2
−
charge.
We represent this selenide ion as
S
e
2

. Do I win 5 pounds?
Z= 34, therefore the atom is selenium
