Answer:

Silver has to give up one electron.

Explanation:

Silver is a transition element and has a partially filled 4d- orbital having 9 electrons and a 5s orbital having 2 electrons in it. In order to achieve stability, silver must have completely filled d-orbital having a maximum number of 10 electrons in it.

Therefore, one electron from 5s orbital jumps to 4d orbital to make it stable. Now, 5s orbital has only one electron, and it will be easy for silver to lose this electron to attain a stable electronic configuration.

Why is the base of an energy pyramid wider than the top

Zepler [3.9K]

It is due to a lack of providable energy to the next trophic level of the energy pyramid. Primary consumers only obtain around 10% of energy that producers have, and the energy depletes as you move further and further up the food chain, until you reach the tertiary consumers which have the least amount of energy at their disposal, meaning there are less of them than other organisms further down the energy pyramid.

Find the pH of a 0.100 molar H2C6O6 solution with ka, where KA is equal 8.0×10–5

lubasha [3.4K]

The pH of the solution is 2.54.

Explanation:

pH is the measure of acidity of the solution and Ka is the dissociation constant. Dissociation constant is the measure of concentration of hydrogen ion donated to the solution.

The solution of C₆H₂O₆ will get dissociated as C₆HO₆ and H+ ions. So the molar concentration of 0.1 M is present at the initial stage. Lets consider that the concentration of hydrogen ion released as x and the same amount of the base ion will also be released.

So the dissociation constant Kₐ can be written as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants. As the concentration of reactants is given as 0.1 M and the concentration of products is considered as x for both hydrogen and base ion. Then the

$K_{a}=\frac{[H^{+}][HB] }{[reactant]}$

[HB] is the concentration of base.

$8 * 10^{-5} =\frac{x^{2} }{0.1}\\\\\\x^{2} = 8 * 10^{-5}*0.1$

$x^{2} = 0.08 * 10^{-4}\\ \\x = 0.283*10^{-2}$

Then

$pH = - log [x] = - log [ 0.283 * 10^{-2}]\\ \\pH = 2 + 0.548 = 2.54$

So the pH of the solution is 2.54.
