<span>Answer:
Connect the atoms with single bonds. The less electronegative is the phosphorous atom. Hence, the P atom is going to be the central atom. Recall that electronegativity decreases as we move away from the fluorine atom in the periodic chart.

Answer:
5.37 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L
Explanation:
<em>A chemist makes 660. mL of magnesium fluoride working solution by adding distilled water to 230. mL of a 0.00154 mol/L stock solution of magnesium fluoride in water. Calculate the concentration of the chemist's working solution. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.</em>
Step 1: Given data
- Initial concentration (C₁): 0.00154 mol/L
- Initial volume (V₁): 230. mL
- Final concentration (C₂): ?
- Final volume (V₂): 660. mL
Step 2: Calculate the concentration of the final solution
We want to prepare a dilute solution from a concentrated one. We can calculate the concentration of the final solution using the dilution rule.
C₁ × V₁ = C₂ × V₂
C₂ = C₁ × V₁ / V₂
C₂ = 0.00154 mol/L × 230. mL / 660. mL = 5.37 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L
Answer:
No
Explanation:
The pH scale is a scale graduated from 0-14 which shows the degree of acidity of alkalinity of a substance. The pH scale is graduated in such a way that 0-6.9 indicates acidity, 7.0 indicate a neutral substance, while a pH of 8-14 indicates alkalinity respectively.
There are three main definitions of acids/bases
- Arrhenius definition
-Brownstead-Lowry definition
-Lewis definition
Arrhenius explains acids as any substance that produces hydrogen ions as its only positive ion in solution while a base produces hydroxide ions as its only negative ion in solution. The pH scale is based on corresponding values of pH derived from aqueous solutions of these substances.
However, not all acids/bases produces hydrogen or hydroxide ions in solution. Brownstead-Lowry definition of acids and Lewis definition of acids could be extended to nonaqueous media where the pH can not be measured as there are no hydrogen or hydroxide ions present in the solution.
This implies that pH measurement may not apply to acids/bases in the all the categories of acids/bases hence it can not be utilized for all acids and bases.
Arrhenius - sodium carbonate
Brownstead-Lowry - concentrated HF
Lewis acid - AlCl3
Answer:
NaHCO3 = No. of atoms are 1 sodium + 1 Hydrogen + 1 carbon + 3 oxygens = 6 atoms per molecule.
