Answer:
B. Fluorine
Explanation:
Nonmetallic character increases from <em>bottom to top</em> in a Group and from <em>left to right</em> in a period (see image).
Thus, the most nonmetallic elements are at the <em>upper right corner</em> of the Periodic Table.
We ignore the noble gases, because they are quite unreactive.
So, the element that most “wants” an electron is fluorine.
Answer:
1.60.
Explanation:
- The no. of millimoles of HCl = MV = (0.15 M)(20.0 mL) = 3.0 mmol.
- The no. of millimoles of KOH = MV = (0.10 M)(20.0 mL) = 2.0 mmol.
<em>Since the no. of millimoles of HCl is larger than that of KOH. The solution is acidic.</em>
<em></em>
∴ M of remaining HCl [H⁺] remaining = (NV)HCl - (NV)KOH/V total = (3.0 mmol) - (2.0 mmol) / (40.0 mL) = 0.025 M.
∵ pH = - log[H⁺]
<em>∴ pH = - log[H⁺] </em>= - log(0.025) = <em>1.602 ≅ 1.60.</em>
B)hydrogen ...................
Explanation:
The specie produced when a strong acid is dissociated in water along with the proton is the conjugate base of that acid.
Consider a strong acid such as HCl which donates the proton so readily as it is a strong base and there is no tendency for conjugate base, which is
to re accept that proton.
A strong base is the one which accepts proton and holds it firmly. Thus, the strong acid has weak conjugate base.
