Answer: The pH of a 4.4 M solution of boric acid is 4.3

Explanation:

H_3BO_3\rightarrow H^+H_2BO_3^-

at t=0  cM              0             0

at eqm c-c\alpha        c\alpha          c\alpha  

So dissociation constant will be:

K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}

Give c= 4.4 M and \alpha = ?

K_a=5.8\times 10^{-10}

Putting in the values we get:

5.8\times 10^{-10}=\frac{(4.4\times \alpha)^2}{(4.4-4.4\times \alpha)}

(\alpha)=0.000011

[H^+]=c\times \alpha

[H^+]=4.4\times 0.000011=4.8\times 10^{-5}M

Also pH=-log[H^+]

pH=-log[4.8\times 10^{-5}]=4.3

Thus pH of a 4.4 M H_3BO_3 solution is 4.3

Answer:

Column 17 halogens

Explanation:

To answer the question we need to know the following;

What are valence electrons?

  • Valence electrons are outermost electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom of any element.

What are halogens?

  • Halogens are group 7 elements that have seven valence electrons. They include, chlorine, fluorine, iodine, etc

What is the reactivity of halogens?

  • Halogens are the most reactive non-metals in the periodic table. They react by gaining one electron to attain a stable configuration.

Please help on 44. /45./ 46./47,
Aleonysh [2.5K]
The only one that I can do without google is 47. Sorry that I can't answer the others. The answer to 47 is this: you know that the western side of the hill has the steepest slope because the ovals showing altitude are way closer together. The closer the circles/ovals are, the steeper the slope is.

Sorry if this doesn't help much, but I answered what I could without cheating.
