Answer:
a. BH₃
Explanation:
According to the octet rules, atoms reach stability when are surrounded by eight electrons in their valence shell when they combine to form a chemical compound.
From the options, the only compound in which the central atom does not meet the octet rules is BH₃. The central atom is boron (B), which has 3 electrons in its valence shell. When B is combined with hydrogen (H), 3 electrons from the 3 atoms of H are added. The total amount of electrons is 6, fewer than 8 electrons needed to meet the rule.
hope this helps
Complete Question
You determine that it takes 26.0 mL of base to neutralize a sample of your unknown acid solution. The pH of the solution was 7.82 when exactly 13 mL of base had been added, you notice that the concentration of the unknown acid was 0.1 M. What is the pKa of your unknown acid?
Answer:
The pK_a value is
Explanation:
From the question we are told
The volume of base is 
The pH of solution is 
The concentration of the acid is 
From the pH we can see that the titration is between a strong base and a weak acid
Let assume that the the volume of acid is 
Generally the concentration of base

Substituting value


When 13mL of the base is added a buffer is formed
The chemical equation of the reaction is

Now before the reaction the number of mole of base is
![No \ of \ moles[N_B] = C_B * V_B](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=No%20%5C%20of%20%5C%20moles%5BN_B%5D%20%20%3D%20%20C_B%20%2A%20V_B)
Substituting value

Now before the reaction the number of mole of acid is

Substituting value


Now after the reaction the number of moles of base is zero i.e has been used up
this mathematically represented as

The number of moles of acid is


The pH of this reaction can be mathematically represented as
![pH = pK_a + log \frac{[base]}{[acid]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%20%20%3D%20pK_a%20%2B%20log%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Bbase%5D%7D%7B%5Bacid%5D%7D)
Substituting values

<span>Not to be confused with tetration.
This article is about volumetric titration. For other uses, see Titration (disambiguation).
Acid–base titration is a quantitative analysis of concentration of an unknown acid or base solution.
Titration, also known as titrimetry,[1] is a common laboratory method of quantitative chemical analysis that is used to determine the unknown concentration of an identified analyte. Since volume measurements play a key role in titration, it is also known as volumetric analysis. A reagent, called the titrant or titrator[2] is prepared as a standard solution. A known concentration and volume of titrant reacts with a solution of analyte or titrand[3] to determine concentration. The volume of titrant reacted is called titration volume</span>
I believe the correct answer is D. Because object A on the pH scale reads pH=3. Which means it is more acidic in nature and thus possess a greater hydrogen or hydronium ion concentration than object B, which has a higher value on the pH scale. Object B would thus have a lower hydronium ion concentration than Object A.
