Answer:

No, Mercury can actually cause poisoning. That is why other metals, such as Alkaline metals, are used in making batteries

Answer:

Mercury can be found in most common household batteries but will most likely be discontinued in the future.

Explanation:

Zinc air, alkaline, and silver oxide button cell all include mercury but only in SMALL amounts. Chances of this mercury leaking are very unlikely and does not pose a large danger to people. In present day, most batteries are turning away from using mercury so its most likely mercury batteries will not be found in the future.

Answer:

pH = 6.999

The solution is acidic.

Explanation:

HBr is a strong acid, a very strong one.

In water, this acid is totally dissociated.

HBr + H₂O  →  H₃O⁺  +  Br⁻

We can think pH, as - log 7.75×10⁻¹² but this is 11.1

acid pH can't never be higher than 7.

We apply the charge balance:

[H⁺] = [Br⁻] + [OH⁻]

All the protons come from the bromide and the OH⁻ that come from water.

We can also think [OH⁻] = Kw / [H⁺] so:

[H⁺] = [Br⁻] + Kw / [H⁺]

Now, our unknown is [H⁺]

[H⁺] =  7.75×10⁻¹² + 1×10⁻¹⁴ / [H⁺]

[H⁺] = (7.75×10⁻¹² [H⁺] + 1×10⁻¹⁴) /  [H⁺]

This is quadratic equation:  [H⁺]² - 7.75×10⁻¹² [H⁺] - 1×10⁻¹⁴

a = 1 ; b = - 7.75×10⁻¹² ; c = -1×10⁻¹⁴

(-b +- √(b² - 4ac) / (2a)

[H⁺] = 1.000038751×10⁻⁷

- log [H⁺] = pH → 6.999

A very strong acid as HBr, in this case, it is so diluted that its pH is almost neutral.

8. Consider the element Scandium, atomic # 21.
yawa3891 [41]

Explanation:

Scandium has atomic number of 21. This means that in it's neutral state its going to have 21 electrons.

a) The full electronic configuration is given as;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d1 4s2

The final electron is placed in the d orbital. The shell is 3d

(b) When scandium has a charge if +1, it has lost an electron. The total number of electrons would now be 21-1 = 20

The electronic configuration would be given as;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2

The electron in the 3d orbital would be removed.
