The cations has positive charges that are metals while the anions have negative charges that are non-metals. Upon reaction, there is an exchange in charges that are reflected in the subscripts of the atoms. In this case, compound AX2 must have a cation, A belonging to group 2 A with +2 charge and anion, X belonging to Group 7A with -1 charge. Answer is D.
Answer:
Succinic acid
Explanation:
The most common possibility is succinic acid
As it has decimals after whole no till hundredth it contains OH and C in most of the cases .
Let's check for succinic acid
- C4H_6O_6
- 4(12)+4(16)+6
- 64+48+6
- 118u
Yes approximately equal
Molecular formula is.
(CH_2)_2(CO_2H)_2
We need to first find the molarity of Ba(OH₂) solution.
A mass of 3.24 mg is dissolved in 1 L solution.
Ba(OH)₂ moles dissolved - 3.24 x 10⁻³ g/171.3 g/mol = 1.90 x 10⁻⁵ mol
dissociaton of Ba(OH)₂ is as follows;
Ba(OH)₂ --> Ba²⁺ + 2OH⁻
1 mol of Ba(OH)₂ dissociates to form 2OH⁻ ions.
Therefore [OH⁻] = (1.90 x 10⁻⁵)x2 = 3.8 x 10⁻⁵ M
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
pOH = -log (3.8 x 10⁻⁵)
pOH = 4.42
pH + pOH = 14
therefore pH = 14 - 4.42
pH = 9.58
