Answer: Metals form cations.
The alkali metals (the IA elements) lose a single electron to form a cation with a 1+ charge.
The alkaline earth metals (IIA elements) lose two electrons to form a 2+ cation.
Aluminum, a member of the IIIA family, loses three electrons to form a 3+ cation.
Therefore, metals in the s and p block of the periodic table have 1, 2 or 3 electrons in their outermost orbit (or valence shell). Now to gain a stable octet metals lose either 1, 2 or 3 electrons from the valence shell thus forming cation with +1, +2 or +3 charge.
Answer:
pH = 3.49
Explanation:
We have a buffer system formed by a weak acid (HNO₂) and its conjugate base (NO₂⁻ coming from KNO₂). We can calculate the pH of a buffer ssytem using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation.
pH = pKa + log [base] / [acid]
pH = -log Ka + log [NO₂⁻] / [HNO₂]
pH = -log 4.50 × 10⁻⁴ + log 0.290 M / 0.210 M
pH = 3.49
1 molecule of C3H7O has 7 atoms of hydrogen (remember that the numbers to the right of each symbol ara subscripts and they indicate the number of atoms of that element in the molecular formula).
Then 5 molecules will have 5 * 7 atoms of hydrogen.
5 * 7 = 35.
Then the answer is that there are 35 atoms of hydrogen in 5 molecules of isopropyl alcohol, C3H7O
