The answer is c. Your welcome
Considering a reaction:
A → B
The rate equation may be described as:
r = -k[A]ⁿ
Taking the natural log,
ln(r) = -nln([A]) + ln(k)
Therefore, the only time the graph of ln[A] vs time will be a straight line is when the order of the reaction is 0, meaning the reaction is independent of reactant concentration.
Since the configuration contains the number 2s and 2p, you can assume that it is in period 2 of the periodic table. By noble gas shorthand, you start with helium, which is atomic number 2. 2s²2p^4 has 2+4 = 6 valence
Add 2+6 = 8, which is Oxygen.
Hydroxide ions (OH-) greatly increases in number and or concentration, number within a given volume, when a base is dissolved in water. This explanation proposes the Arhennius definition of a base.
