Answer:

C. gold atoms

Explanation:

Metallic bonds are found between atoms of metals. Since gold is the only metal given here, it is the solution to the problem.

Metallic bonds join atoms of metals and alloys together.

The formation of this type of bond is favored by large atomic radius, low ionization energy and a large number of electrons in the valence shell.

The metallic bond is actually an attraction between the positive nuclei of all the closely packed atoms in the lattice and the electron cloud jointly formed by all atoms losing their outermost shell electrons.

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\mathbf{1.36; 3.6 \times 10^{\mathbf{-9}}}\textbf{mol/L}}$

Explanation:

The HF is about five million times as strong as phenol, so it will be by far the major contributor of hydronium ions. We can ignore the contribution from the phenol.

1 .Calculate the hydronium ion concentration

We can use an ICE table to organize the calculations.

HF + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + F⁻

I/mol·L⁻¹: 2.7 0 0

C/mol·L⁻¹: -x +x +x

E/mol·L⁻¹: 2.7 - x x x

$K_{\text{a}} = \dfrac{\text{[H}_{3}\text{O}^{+}] \text{F}^{-}]} {\text{[HF]}} = 7.2 \times 10^{-4}\\\\\dfrac{x^{2}}{2.7 - x} = 7.2 \times 10^{-4}\\\\\text{Check for negligibility of }x\\\\\dfrac{2.7}{7.2 \times 10^{-4}} = 4000 > 400\\\\\therefore x \ll 2.7\\\dfrac{x^{2}}{2.7} = 7.2 \times 10^{-4}\\\\x^{2} = 2.7 \times 7.2 \times 10^{-4} = 1.94 \times 10^{-3}\\x = 0.0441\\\text{[H$_{3}$O$^{+}$]}= \text{x mol$\cdot$L$^{-1}$} = \text{0.0441 mol$\cdot$L$^{-1}$}$

2. Calculate the pH

$\text{pH} = -\log{\rm[H_{3}O^{+}]} = -\log{0.0441} = \large \boxed{\mathbf{1.36}}$

3. Calculate [C₆H₅O⁻]

C₆H₅OH + H₂O ⇌ C₆H₅O⁻ + H₃O⁺

2.7 x 0.0441

$K_{\text{a}} = \dfrac{0.0441x} {2.7} = 1.6 \times 10^{-10}\\\\0.0441x = 1.6 \times 10^{-10}\\x = \dfrac{1.6 \times 10^{-10}}{0.0441} = \mathbf{3.6 \times 10^{\mathbf{-9}}}\textbf{ mol/L}\\\text{The concentration of phenoxide ion is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{3.6 \times 10^{\mathbf{-9}}}\textbf{ mol/L}}$}$
