I've always been told that it's eight. This is only because the atom has to have the saem protons (positively charged) neutrons and electrons (negatively charged). However this does not occur with all atoms. :)
Explanation:
Given the mass of HCl is ---- 0.50 g
The volume of solution is --- 4.0 L
To determine the pH of the resulting solution, follow the below-shown procedure:
1. Calculate the number of moles of HCl given by using the formula:

2. Calculate the molarity of HCl.
3. Calculate pH of the solution using the formula:
![pH=-log[H^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-log%5BH%5E%2B%5D)
Since HCl is a strong acid, it undergoes complete ionization when dissolved in water.

Thus, ![[HCl]=[H^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BHCl%5D%3D%5BH%5E%2B%5D)
Calculation:
1. Number of moles of HCl given:

2. Concentration of HCl:

3. pH of the solution:
![pH=-log[H^+]\\=-log(0.003425)\\=2.47](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-log%5BH%5E%2B%5D%5C%5C%3D-log%280.003425%29%5C%5C%3D2.47)
Hence, pH of the given solution is 2.47.
Atoms are the basic building blocks of ordinary matter. Atoms can join together to form molecules, which in turn form most of the objects around you.
A hypothesis is a prediction of what you believe to be true.
