Answer:C
Explanation:
Mountain Dew soda is not a colloid
Never mind, I did the problem wrong, I deeply apologize.
Usually (ignoring transition metals, as they kinda get trickier), the element's valency can be found out by its group (column) number. Usually, we ignore the transition metal block while counting these columns, so Aluminium is in group 3, for example. Since Aluminium is in group 3, it has 3 valence electrons.
Answer:
a) Aqueous LiBr = Hydrogen Gas
b) Aqueous AgBr = solid Ag
c) Molten LiBr = solid Li
c) Molten AgBr = Solid Ag
Explanation:
a) Aqueous LiBr
This sample produces Hydrogen gas, because the H+ (conteined in the water) has a reduction potential higher than the Li+ from the salt. Therefore the hydrogen cation will reduce instead of the lithium one and form the gas.
b) Aqueous AgBr
This sample produces Solid Ag, because the Ag+ has a reduction potential higher than the H+ from the water. Therefore the silver cation will reduce instead of the hydrogen one and form the solid.
c) Molten LiBr
In a molten binary salt like LiBr there is only one cation present in the cathod. In this case the Li+, so it will reduce and form solid Li.
c) Molten AgBr
The same as the item above: there is only one cation present in the cathod. In this case the Ag+, so it will reduce and form solid Ag.
POH will be -log[conc of OH]
-log (3.9E-08) = 7.409
pH = 14- pOH
pH = 14 - 7.409
pH = 6.59
