Answer:
pH = 12.20
Explanation:
Ca(OH)2 is a strong base, so it dissociates completely. A 0.08 M solution of Ca(OH)2 is 0.16 M OH-, since every mole of Ca(OH)2 has 2 OH-.
Calculate pOH using [OH-] = 0.16 M
pOH = -log(0.16) = 0.80
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 0.80 = 12.20
A chemical change is characterized of the formation of new substances or a chemical reaction. There are a number of observations that we can see if this type of change happens. One would be the formation of gas bubbles, this indicates that one of the products is a gas. Another observation would be a formation of a precipitate in the solution, it would indicate that the new solid formed is not soluble in the solution. A permanent color change in the solution would also indicate a chemical change because it may be that the new substance that is formed has its own distinct color when in solution.
Lewis Structure is drawn in following steps,
1) Calculate Number of Valence Electrons: # of Valence electrons in Mg = 2
# of Valence electrons in I = 7
# of Valence electrons in I = 7
---------
Total Valence electrons = 16
2) Draw Mg as a central atom surround it by two atoms of Iodine.3) Connect each Iodine atom to Mg, and subtract two electrons per bond. In this case we will subtract 4 electrons from total valence electrons. i.e.
Total Valence electrons 16
- Four electrons - 4
----------
12
4) Now start adding the remaining 12 electrons on more electronegative atoms i.e. Iodine.
The final lewis structure formed is as follow,
