Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) when added to the solution would give the highest pH

Explanation:

Bases or Alkali are associated with high pH while Acidic substances are represented by lower pH value.

In the given option

HCl- is a strong acid hence would have pH less than 7

H2SO4- also an acid with a pH less than 7

KOH- base with a pH higher than 7

H20-neutral compound with pH as 7

KOH is a very strong base and dissociates in aqueous solution to give it's corresponding metallic ion and hydroxyl ions (OH-) which are characteristic property of any base.

The number of moles that are contained in the given mass of propane ( $C_3H_8$ is 1.7143 moles.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Mass of propane = 75.6 grams.

<u>Scientific data:</u>

The molar mass of propane = 44.1 g/mol.

To calculate the number of moles that are contained in the given mass of propane ( $C_3H_8$ ):

<h3>How to calculate the moles of a compound.</h3>

In this exercise, you're required to determine the number of moles of propane that are contained in the given sample:

Mathematically, the number of moles contained in a chemical compound is given by this formula:

$Number\;of\;moles = \frac{mass}{molar\;mass}$

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

$Number\;of\;moles = \frac{75.6}{44.1}$

Number of moles = 1.7143 moles.

WHY is there a difference between how an electrolytes and non electrolytes affect collegiative properties?

natulia [17]

<span>Colligative properties are dependent upon the number of molecules or ions present in solution. Therefore, 1 mole of Na2SO4 will produce 3 moles of ions and so it will have 3 times as much of an effect as 1 mole of sugar, which is not an electrolyte and can't dissociate to an appreciable extent.</span>

Identify the neutral element represented by this excited-state electron configuration, then write the ground-state electron conf

sineoko [7]

Answer:

1s² 2s² 2p³

Nitrogen

Explanation:

Excited state configuration: 1s² 2s² 2p² 3s¹

Unknown:

Ground state configuration = ?

Element symbol = ?

Solution:

Let us start by understanding what a ground state configuration entails:

A ground state configuration shows the lowest allowed energy levels of an atom. The excited state denotes when electrons have moved to higher energy levels away from their ground state.

The superscript in the configuration depicts the number of electrons in each of the sublevels.

We can use this number to identify the atom we are dealing with:

Total number of electrons = 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 7 electrons

The element with 7 electrons on the periodic table is Nitrogen.

Now, the ground state configuration:

In writing the electronic configuration of an atom, certain rules must be complied with.

Aufbau's principle states that the sublevels with lower energies are filled up before those with higher energies. The order of filling is:

1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s etc

To fill the s-orbital = 2 electrons

p-orbital = 6 electrons

The outermost shell electrons are usually the ones excited.

Now, the 3s¹ shell is an excited one taking 1 electron from the second energy level;

The ground state configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p³
