It is more likely 9. pH 4 is acidic and pH 9 is basic, and as the pH of a substance gets closer to 0 or 14, the substance becomes more corrosive or reactive. As 4 is closer to 0 than 9 is to 14, there is a much higher chance the solution has a pH of 9, because pH 4 is less neutral and therefore more corrosive/reactive than pH 9.

Enter the ions formed when (NH4)2S dissolves in water.
lisabon 2012 [21]

The ions formed are NH4(+) and S(2-)

The dissolution reaction of (NH4) 2S in water is as follows:


(NH4) 2S ==> 2 NH4 (+) + S (2-).



Ammonium sulfide is the ammonium salt of hydrogen sulfide. It has the formula (NH4) 2S and belongs to the sulfide family.


It is a relatively unstable compound (crystals decomposing at -18 ° C, but exists and is more stable in aqueous solution.) With a pKa exceeding 15, the hydrosulfide ion cannot be significantly deprotonated by ammonia. Thus, such solutions consist mainly of a mixture of ammonia and hydrosulphide of ammonium, it has a smell, close to that of hydrogen sulfide, and its aqueous solutions can be precisely by emitting H2S.

Describe the photoelectric effect and explain why it made modifications to the Rutherford model necessary.
Furkat [3]
<span>Photoelectric effect refer to the emission of electron or free carriers when light shine into a material. According to the Rutherford model, light of any energy should be able to make electrons leave the atom and be emitted. The energy of the emitted electrons should be related to the intensity of the light. But the energy of the electron is actually only related to the energy of the light</span>

Saline solutions (nacl in water) used to deliver intravenous drugs are 0.89%(w/v). what mass of nacl is found in 200 ml of such
Gnom [1K]

A ratio of 0.89% w / v or 0.0089 in fraction means that there is 0.89 weight of NaCl pero volume of solution. Therefore the mass of NaCl is:

mass NaCl = 0.0089 * 200

<span>mass NaCl = 1.78 grams</span>

Which of the following is most likely to form multiple (double or triple) bonds? 1. Li 2. Cl 3. N 4. H 5. F
alukav5142 [94]

Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of lithium is 3 and its electronic distribution is 2, 1. So, to attain stability it will loose an electron and hence, it forms a single bond.

Atomic number of chlorine is 17 and it has 7 valence electrons. Hence, in order to attain stability it will gain one electron and therefore, it forms a single bond only.

Atomic number of nitrogen is 7 and its electronic distribution is 2, 5. Therefore, to attain stability it needs to gain 3 more electrons. Hence, a nitrogen atom is able to form a triple bond and also it is able to form a double bond.

Hydrogen has atomic number 1 and it attains stability by gaining one electron. Therefore, a hydrogen atoms always forms a single bond.

Atomic number of fluorine is 9 and its electronic distribution is 2, 7. To complete its octet it needs to gain one electron. Hence, a fluorine atom always forms a single bond.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options nitrogen is most likely to form multiple (double or triple) bonds.
