Answer:
Rb+
Explanation:
Since they are telling us that the equivalence point was reached after 17.0 mL of 2.5 M HCl were added , we can calculate the number of moles of HCl which neutralized our unknown hydroxide.
Now all the choices for the metal cation are monovalent, therefore the general formula for our unknown is XOH and we know the reaction is 1 equivalent acid to 1 equivalent base. Thus we have the number of moles, n, of XOH and from the relation n = M/MW we can calculate the molecular weight of XOH.
Thus our calculations are:
V = 17.0 mL x 1 L / 1000 mL = 0.017 L
2.5 M HCl x 0.017 L = 2.5 mol/ L x 0.017 L = 0.0425 mol
0.0425 mol = 4.36 g/ MW XOH
MW of XOH = (atomic weight of X + 16 + 1)
so solving the above equation we get:
0.0425 = 4.36 / (X + 17 )
0.7225 +0.0425X = 4.36
0.0425X = 4.36 -0.7225 = 3.6375
X = 3.6375/0.0425 = 85.59
The unknown alkali is Rb which has an atomic weight of 85.47 g/mol
Nuclear decay or radioactive decay is a process by which the nucleus of an unstable atom loses energy that is in terms of its mass. The radioactivity may cause an atom to lose whichever of its subatomic particles.
The explanation as why some of the atoms go through nuclear decay while others do not its because of the stability of some atoms. Atoms usually tend to follow octet rule, those which do not follow through this may experience the nuclear decay.

Formulas used:
pH= -log(H⁺)
pOH= -log(OH⁻)
pH+ pOH=14
Calculations:
For A: (H⁺)=2×10⁻⁸M
Using the pH formula:
pH= -log(H⁺)=-log(2×10⁻⁸)=7.69
pOH=14 - 7.69=6.3
Calculating OH concentration,
pOH= -log(OH⁻)
6.3= -log(OH⁻)
(OH⁻)=5.011×10⁻⁷M
Hence, the nature of A is basic.
Similarily,
For B,
(OH⁻)=1×10⁻⁷
Using the pH formula:
pOH= -log(OH⁻)= -log(1×10⁻⁷)=7
pH=14-7=7
Calculating H concentration,
pH= -log(H⁺)
7= -log(H⁺)
(H⁺)=1×10⁻⁷M
Hence, the nature of B is neutral.
Similarily,
For C,
pH=12.3
Using the pH formula:
pOH=14-12.3=1.7
Calculating H concentration,
pH= -log(H⁺)
12.3= -log(H⁺)
(H⁺)=5.011×10⁻¹³M
Calculating OH concentration,
pOH= -log(OH⁻)
1.7= -log(OH⁻)
(OH⁻)=1.99×10⁻²M
Hence, the nature of C is Basic.
Similarily,
For D,
pOH=6.8
Using the pH formula:
pH=14-6.8=7.2
Calculating H concentration,
pH= -log(H⁺)
7.2= -log(H⁺)
(H⁺)=6.309×10⁻⁸M
Calculating OH concentration,
pOH= -log(OH⁻)
6.8= -log(OH⁻)
(OH⁻)=1.58×10⁻⁷M
Hence, the nature of D is basic.
