<h3>Answer:</h3>

pH = 8.66

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The pH refers to the acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
It is calculated by getting the negative logarithm of Hydrogen ions concentration.

pH=-log[H⁺]

In this case;

we are given [OH⁻] as 4.6 x 10^-6 M

We are required to calculate the pH

We need to know that;

pH + pOH = 14

pOH = -log[OH⁻]

To get the pH we can calculate the pOH first,

pOH = -log[4.6 x 10^-6 M]

= 5.34

but, pH + pOH = 14

Therefore, pH = 14 - pOH

= 14 - 5.34

= 8.66

Therefore, the pH of the solution is 8.66

Answer:

HCO₂

Explanation:

From the information given:

The mass of the elements are:

Carbon C = 26.7 g; Hydrogen H = 2.24 g Oxygen O = 71.1 g

To determine the empirical formula;

First thing is to find the numbers of moles of each atom.

For Carbon:

$=26.7 \ g\times \dfrac{1 \ mol }{12.01 \ g} \\ \\ =2.22 \ mol \ of \ Carbon$

For Hydrogen:

$=2.24 \ g\times \dfrac{1 \ mol }{1.008 \ g} \\ \\ =2.22 \ mol \ of \ Hydrogen$

For Oxygen:

$=71.1 \ g\times \dfrac{1 \ mol }{1.008 \ g} \\ \\ =4.44 \ mol \ of \ oxygen$

Now; we use the smallest no of moles to divide the respective moles from above.

For carbon:

$\dfrac{2.22 \ mol \ of \ carbon}{2.22} =1 \ mol \ of \ carbon$

For Hydrogen:

$\dfrac{2.22 \ mol \ of \ carbon}{2.22} =1 \ mol \ of \ hydrogen$

For Oxygen:

$\dfrac{4.44 \ mol \ of \ Oxygen}{2.22} =2 \ mol \ of \ oxygen$

Thus, the empirical formula is HCO₂

Explain what happens to temperature and energy as molecules move from gas to liquid to solid

aleksley [76]

Answer and Explanation:

As the temperature of the substances increases, the average energy of the molecules increases, and average energy of attraction between the molecules decreases consequently intermolecular spacing between the molecules increases. As a result, a substance change in succession from gas to liquid to solid.

If an element has two isotopes, what is the atomic mass if one of the isotopes has a mass of 15.000 amu and makes up 5.000% of t

olasank [31]

The atomic mass of element is the weighted average atomic mass of the element with respect to the abundance of the isotopes of that element
atomic mass is the sum of the products of the mass of isotopes by their percentage abundance
atomic mass = 15.000 amu x 5.000 % + 16.000 amu x 95.000 %
= 0.7500 + 15.200
atomic mass of element is therefore 15.950
