Answer:

The answer to your question is: 3

Explanation:

If an atom has 5 electrons, 5 neutrons and 5 protons, it means that the element is Boron. Boron is situated in the third group A, that means that is has 3 elements in its outermost shell.

Also, if we do the electronic configuration:

1s² 2s²2p¹

If we count the number of electron in the second level of energy, the result will be: 2 in s and 1 in p = 3. Those are the valence electrons.

Two steps in a synthesis of the analgesic ibuprofen include a carbonyl condensation reaction, followed by an alkylation reaction

Tresset [83]

Ibuprofen is synthesized by reacting ethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)acetate with base, the base abstracts the acidic proton and enolate is formed which on reaction with diethyl carbonate generates diethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)malonate (A). diethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)malonate on treatment with Base again looses the acidic proton and forms enolate. The enolate with treatment with Methyl Iodide yields diethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)-2-methylmalonate (B). diethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)-2-methylmalonate on hydrolysis give Ibuprofen.

What is the pH of an HCL solution if [H+]=0.03

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

pH = 1.5

Explanation:

The pH is always equal to -log[H+].

Simply plug it into this formula to find the pH. In order to find the concentration from the pH, you can do:

$10^{-pH}$ = [H+]

Why did the plates began to slip against each other 30 million years ago forming San Andreas fault

Jlenok [28]

The currents of the mantle pull the crust above it through drag. The plates, therefore, move on top of the mantle. At San Andreas fault, the North American Plate met the Pacific plate. However, due to the presence of the Farallon plate that was disappearing into the mantle in a subduction zone, the Pacific and North American plates movements changed in their configuration. The two plates now move past each other. The San Andreas fault is, therefore, a strike-slip fault.
