Answer:

7.186

Explanation:

The mean is the average of some given data from a sample point.

To calculate the mean, we use the formula below:

             Mean = ∑fx/∑f

Where f = frequency

           x = sample data

   

From the given pH of the solutions, we can form a table:

      x                                     f                                          fx

    7.15                                  1                                         7.15

    7.16                                  1                                         7.16

    7.18                                  1                                         7.18

    7.19                                  1                                         7.19

    7.20                                 3                                        21.6

    7.21                                  1                                         7.21

Now ∑fx = 7.15 +7.16 +7.18 + 7.19 + 7.20 + 7.21 = 57.49

         ∑f = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 1 = 8

The mean = \frac{57.49}{8} = 7.18625 = 7.186

What is the molar concentration of h3o+ in a cola that has a ph of 4.240?
Andreyy89

The pH is calculated using the expression: pH = - log [H3O+].  
 To find the concentration of [H3O+] 
 [H3O+] = 10^(-pH)  
 Solving the RHS we have 10^(-4.240) = 0.1440 
 Hence the concentration of H3O+ is 0.1440.

What is the calculated molar concentration of the Cl⁻ ions in 0.68 M MnCl2(aq)?
Fudgin [204]
We calculate the molar concentration [Cl⁻]  using stoichiometry. MnCl2(aq) is an ionic compound which will have the releasing of 2 Cl⁻ ions ions in water for every molecule of MnCl2 that dissolves.
MnCl2(s) --> Mn+(aq) + 2 Cl⁻(aq)
            [Cl⁻] = 0.68 mol MnCl2/1L × 2 mol Cl⁻ / 1 mol MnCl2 = 1.4 M
The answer to this question is [Cl⁻] = 1.4 M

Which element has the greatest density at stp? calcium, chlorine, carbon or copper?
ludmilkaskok [199]
Density = mass/volume

Since at STP, one mole of any gas occupies 22.4 liters, therefore, the volume is equal.
So, we will arrange based on mass.

From the periodic table:
mass of carbon = 12 grams
mass of calcium = 40 grams
mass of chlorine = 35.5 grams
mass of copper = 63.5 grams

Based on this:
copper has the highest density.

What element is represented by the following electron configuration:
Alecsey [184]
For better representation, let me rewrite the electronic configuration:

<span>1s</span>²<span>2s</span>²<span>2p</span>⁶<span>3s</span>²<span>3p</span>⁶<span>4s</span>²<span>3d</span>⁴

The exponents represent the number of electrons in the designated subshell. Thus, the total number of electrons are:
# of electrons = 2+2+6+2+6+2+4 = 24

Assuming this is in neutral state, the element with an atomic number of 24 is Chromium. Thus, the answer is Cr.
