Answer:
The pH of a solution of 0.00278 M of HClO₄ is 2.56
Explanation:
pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity that indicates the amount of hydrogen ions present in a solution or substance and is calculated as:
pH= - log [H⁺]= - log [H₃O⁺]
On the other hand
, a Strong Acid is that acid that in an aqueous solution dissociates completely. In other words, a strong acid completely dissociates into hydrogen ions and anions in solution.
HClO₄ is a strong acid, so in aqueous solution it will be totally dissociated. Then, the concentration of protons is equal to the initial concentration of acid and the pH will be calculated:
pH= - log 0.00278
pH= 2.56
<u><em>The pH of a solution of 0.00278 M of HClO₄ is 2.56</em></u>
The correct answer would be C2H60
Answer: The reactivity of group 7 decreases as we move down the group because:
Explanation:
The elements of group 7 that is fluorine to iodine. The halogens are non metals and they react with metals to gain electrons. The metals loose electrons and the non metal gains it.
As we move down the group the atomic radius gets bigger( more electron and more proton) and as a result the outer shells move further away from the nucleus.
There is more distance between the negatively charged electrons and positively charged nucleus.
Therefore the force of attraction between the shells and nucleus is lesser or weaker.
This makes attracting an extra electron from metals very difficult which results in weaker reaction.
Consequently, the reactivity decreases as we move down the group 7
The answer is D. Strong electrolytes
Strong electrolyte is a solute or solution that completely or almost completely dissociates when in solution. These are good conductors of electricity only when in molten/aqueous solution.
Strong electrolyte(aq) → Cation+(aq) + Anion−(aq)
