Answer:
Explanation:
Cesium Lewis dot structure would look like this:
·Cs, because it only has one valence electron. But, since it has a plus, that means we lost an electron. So, we have to get rid of the dot and you have:
4 protons the number of proton has the same number of electron [which is the same as atomic number]
Answer:
The pH of the solution is 4.60.
Explanation:
The pH gives us an idea of the acidity or basicity of a solution. More precisely, it indicates the concentration of H30 + ions present in said solution. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14: from 0 to 7 corresponds to acid solutions, 7 neutral solutions and between 7 and 14 basic solutions. It is calculated as:
pH = -log (H30 +)
pH= -log (2,5 x 10-5)
<em>pH=4.60</em>
2.0 L
The key to any dilution calculation is the dilution factor
The dilution factor essentially tells you how concentrated the stock solution was compared with the diluted solution.
In your case, the dilution must take you from a concentrated hydrochloric acid solution of 18.5 M to a diluted solution of 1.5 M, so the dilution factor must be equal to
DF=18.5M1.5M=12.333
So, in order to decrease the concentration of the stock solution by a factor of 12.333, you must increase its volume by a factor of 12.333by adding water.
The volume of the stock solution needed for this dilution will be
DF=VdilutedVstock⇒Vstock=VdilutedDF
Plug in your values to find
Vstock=25.0 L12.333=2.0 L−−−−−
The answer is rounded to two sig figs, the number of significant figures you have for the concentration od the diluted solution.
So, to make 25.0 L of 1.5 M hydrochloric acid solution, take 2.0 L of 18.5 M hydrochloric acid solution and dilute it to a final volume of 25.0 L.
IMPORTANT NOTE! Do not forget that you must always add concentrated acid to water and not the other way around!
In this case, you're working with very concentrated hydrochloric acid, so it would be best to keep the stock solution and the water needed for the dilution in an ice bath before the dilution.
Also, it would be best to perform the dilution in several steps using smaller doses of stock solution. Don't forget to stir as you're adding the acid!
So, to dilute your solution, take several steps to add the concentrated acid solution to enough water to ensure that the final is as close to 25.0 L as possible. If you're still a couple of milliliters short of the target volume, finish the dilution by adding water.
Always remember
Water to concentrated acid →.NO!
Concentrated acid to water →.YES!
