I would say that the answer is d?
The electron configuration of Zr (AN 40) is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p6 4d2 5s2
You must know and use the formula for pH.
pH = - log [H3O+], where [H3O+] is the molar concentration of hydronium ion.
So, when pH is 8.0 => 8.0 = - log [H3O+] and you can use antilogarithm (the inverse function of logarithm) to find [H3O+], in this way:
[H3O+] = 10^-8 = 1 * 10 ^-8 M
When, pH = 7.0 =>
7.0 = - log [H3O+] => [H3O+] = 1 * 10^ -7 M
Answer: 1*10^-7 mole / liter
The sea is called "dead" because its high salinity prevents macroscopic aquatic organisms, such as fish and aquatic plants, from living in it, though minuscule quantities of bacteria and microbial fungi are present. In times of flood, the salt content of the Dead Sea can drop from its usual 35% to 30% or lower.
I believe it might be c I might wrong
