Answer: It's equal to 10^(-2.3), or 0.00501 M, or 5.01 * 10^-3 moles/Liter

Explanation:

Well, pH = - log[H+]

Or, in words, pH is equal to -1 multiplied by the logarithm (base 10) of the hydrogen ion concentration. So you have 2.3 = -log[H+]. We want to isolate the H+, so let's start simplifying the right hand side of the equation. First, we multiply both sides by -1. -2.3=log[H+] Now, the definition of a logarithm says that if the log (base 10) of [H+] is -2.3, then 10 raised to the -2.3 power is [H+] So on each side of the equation, we raise 10 to the power of that side of the equation. 10^(-2.3) = 10^(log[H+]) and because 10^log cancels out... 10^(-2.3) = [H+] Now we've solved for [H+], the hydrogen ion concentration!

Base on the question all about the human eye were an optic nerve of it needs an energy of 2.10x10^-17J that could trigger a series of impulses that eventually reach to the brain. So the possible photons of blue light needed for for this energy is 52 photons

There are 3 different possible structures (known as isomers) for a dibromoethene molecule, C2H2Br2. One of them has no net dipol

nevsk [136]

Explanation:

Compounds having same molecular formula but different structural and spatial arrangement are isomers.

Three isomers are possible for dibromomethene.

In one structure (IUPAC name: 1,1-dibromomethene), both the bromine atoms are attached to one carbon atom.

In another two structures (Cis and trans), two bromine atoms are attached to two different carbon atoms.

In Cis 1,2-dibromomethene, two bromine atoms are present on the same side.

Whereas in Cis 1,2-dibromomethene, two bromine atoms are present on the opposite side and hence, does not have net dipole moment.
