Answer:
<span>In ionic compounds, <u>Metals</u> lose their valence electrons to form positively charged Cations.
Explanation:
Metals have the ability to loose elctrons readily. For example metals of Group IA and Group IIA readily looses electrons in order to obtain Noble Gas Configuration. On the other hand Non-metals tends to gain electrons and acquire negative charge. While Ions are made when an an element gain or loose electrons. After loosing electrons element get positive charge which is called as Cation while on gaining electron it gets negative charge called as Anion.</span>
<u>Given information:</u>
Concentration of HCl = 0.035 M
<u>To determine:</u>
pH of the solution
<u>Explanation:</u>
Hydrochloric acid, HCl is a strong acid. It will completely dissociate to give H+ and Cl- ions
HCl → H+ + Cl-
Hence the concentration of H+ = Cl- = 0.035M
Now, pH measures the strength of H+ ions in a given solution. It is expressed as:
pH = -log[H+]
pH (HCl) = -log(0.035) = 1.46
Ans: pH of 0.035M HCl is 1.46
There are 4 significant figures! Start counting after the first non-zero digit :)
Hope this helps.
The answer is A, good luck
The building block that makes up all matter in the universe is atoms.
Hope that helps you:)
