The hydrogen ion concentration, [H ], in the solution of phenol red solution of pH 11.20 is 6.3 X
moles/litre.
Explanation:
Data given:
basic solution of phenol red is given as it has pH of 11.2
hydrogen ion concentration = ?
the hydrogen ion concentration is calculated by using the following formula:
pH = -
[
]
Rearranging the equation:
[
] = 
Putting the values in the above equation:
[
] = 
[
] = 6.3 X
moles/litre
The hydrogen ion concentration is very small and the solution of phenol red is basic in nature. The pH of 11.2 also indicates that solution is basic and teh color of the solution is bright pink.
Covalent bonding is when electrons are shared between atoms.
Answer:
a)there would be no reaction
Explanation:
The activity series of metals has many functions. The one applicable to this problem is that it can be used to determine whether a reaction will occur or not. Also, based on the positions of metals in the series, we can know how reactive a metal is compared to another.
In a single displacement reaction, a metal replaces another metal based on their position on the activity series. Metals that are higher in the series are generally more reactive than others below them and so will displace them.
Would aluminum replace magnesium to form a new compound or would there be no reaction?
Magnesium is higher than aluminum in the activity series. Therefore it is more reactive than aluminum. No reaction will occur.
