<span>Group 1 can be characterized as atoms that have 1 electron in their valence shell. This is valuable when dealing with these questions, because the loss or gain of valence electrons is what defines ionic relationships. When group 1 elements form ionic bonds with other atoms, they are extremely likely to lose their valence electron, since the nucleus has a weaker pull on it than, say, a chlorine atom has on its 7 valence electrons. The weaker pull between the nucleus and the valence electron of group 1 elements means that the radius is high, since the electron is more free to move with less pull on it. This also means that the first ionization energy is low, since it takes relatively little energy for that electron to be pulled away to another atom.</span>
To solve this problem, separate it into chunks that you know. You know that there are 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch. You know that there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter. You know that there are 1000 meters in a kilometer. Therefore, we'll convert in this order: 1) from kilometers to meters, 2) from meters to centimeters, and 3) from centimeters to inches.
1) 1km × 1000m/1km
= 1000m
2) 1000m × 100cm/1m
= 100000cm
3) 100000cm × 1in/2.54cm
≈ 39370in
So, there are approximately 39370 inches in a kilometer.
The question that cannot be answered using scientific method is "Which is the most interesting acid?"
The pH of the solution : 12
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Reaction
HCOOH + NaOH ⇒ HCOONa + H₂O
mol HCOOH =
mol NaOH =
Mol NaOH>mol HCOOH ⇒ at the end of the reaction there will be a strong base remains from mol NaOH, so that the pH is determined from [OH⁻]
ICE method :
HCOOH + NaOH ⇒ HCOONa + H₂O
4 5
4 4 4 4
0 1 1 1
Concentration of [OH⁻] from NaOH :
pOH=-log[OH⁻]
pOH=-log 10⁻²=2
pH+pOH=14
pH=14-2=12
