6 0

Answer:

6

Explanation:

This atom is sulfur (if the electrons are equal to the protons/not an ion). You can tell the number of valence electrons by looking at the individual shell. The first shell (1s) can only hold 2 electrons. The second shell (2s and 2p) can hold 8 electrons. The third shell (3s and 3p), which is the valence shell, only has 6 out of its possible 8 electrons, so this atom has 6 valence electrons.

compound 1 contains 15.0g of hydrogen and 120.0g oxygen. What is the percent compound of each element?
allsm [11]

Note down the formula below

\boxed{\sf Mass\%\;of\; element=\dfrac{Mass\:of\:the\: element}{Mass\;of\:the\: compound}\times 100}

Mass of the compound

\\ \sf\longmapsto 15+120=135g

Mass % of Hydrogen:-

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{15}{135}\times 100

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{1}{9}\times 100

\\ \sf\longmapsto 11.1\%

Mass % of Oxygen:-

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{120}{135}\times 100

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{8}{9}\times 100

\\ \sf\longmapsto 88.9\%

Calculate the ph of a 0.20 m solution of kcn at 25.0 ∘c. express the ph numerically using two decimal places
storchak [24]
The pH of the solution is basically the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions or H+. In equation form, pH = -log[H+]. It could also be in terms of the concentration of hydroxide ions or OH- as pOH, where pOH = -log[OH-]. The sum of pH and pOH is 14. These are the important equations to know when it comes to equilibrium pH problems.

KCN is a basic salt coming from the reaction of a weak acid, HCN, and a strong base, KOH. In the hydrolysis of KCN, only the strong conjugate base (SCB) is involved. Since HCN is the weak acid, the SCB is CN-. The reaction would be

CN- + H2O ⇔ HCN + OH-

The important data is the equilibrium constant of acidity of the weak acid. Ka for HCN is 6.2×10^-10. Then, let's do the ICE(Initial-Change-Equilibrium) analysis.

          CN-    +    H2O    ⇔    HCN +    OH-

I      0.2 m             ∞                   0             0
C      -x                 ∞                   +x        +x
-----------------------------------------------------------
E      0.2-x                               +x         +x

The value x denotes the number of moles CN- reacted. There is no value for H2O because the solution is dilute such that H2O>>>CN-. Then, we apply the ratio:

K_{H} = \frac{ K_{W} }{ K_{A} } = \frac{[HCN][OH-]}{[CN-]}

where K,H is the equilibrium constant of hydrolysis and Kw is equilibrium constant for water solvation which is equal to 1×10^-14. Therefore,

K_{H} = \frac{ 1x10^-14}{ 6.2x10^-10 } = \frac{[X][X]}{[0.2-X]}

x = 0.001788 m
Since the value of OH- is also x, then OH-=0.001788 m. Consequently,

pOH = -log(0.001788) = 2.75
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 2.75
pH = 11.25

What are the flocculation basins?
Mila [183]

Answer:

flocculation is the operation in which the coagulated water must be gently mixed at a propeller speed of 15 to 20 rpm to promote the growth of the floc. ... The flocculation basin often has a number of compartments with decreasing mixing speeds as the water advances through the basin.
