Any buffer exists in this equilibrium
HA <=>
In a buffer, there is a large reservoir of both the undissociated acid (HA) and its conjugate base (
)
When a strong acid is added, it reacts with the large reservoir of the conjugate base (
) forming a salt and water. Since this large reservoir of the conjugate base is used, the ph does not alter drastically, but instead resist the pH change.
The options
Select one:
a. a 3- ion forms.
b. the noble gas configuration of argon is achieved.
c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.
d. the atom gains five electrons.
Answer:
c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.
Explanation:
Aluminium atom has atomic number of 13 , hence the number of electron is 13 for a neutral atom of aluminium. When aluminium atom reacts with other elements it usually gives out three electron to attain the octet configuration.
The cation representation of aluminium is Al3+ because it has loss three electron to attain the octet rule. Aluminium will be left with 10 electrons after losing 3 of it electrons. The electronic configuration will be represented as follows after losing three electrons;
1S² 2S² 2P∧6 .
At this stage the octet rule has been achieved as it will be represented as
2 8. The first energy shell now contains two electron and the second energy shell contains 8 electrons.
The configuration of Neon has been formed in the process.
Answer:
C. Soil
Explanation:
The choice with variable composition is the soil. Soil have many different composition.
- Soil is made up of minerals, organic matter , water and soil air.
- Soil minerals are derived from weathered bedrock materials that have been broken down into small pieces.
- Organic matter is derived from dead and decaying materials from plants and animals.
- All these materials combine together to form a soil.
