Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

If [OH | = 1x 10^-7 M then [H^+] = 1 * 10^-14/1x 10^-7 = 1x 10^-7 M

pH = - log [H^+] = -log [1x 10^-7]

pH = 7

If [OH | = 1x 10^-9 M then [H^+] = 1 * 10^-14/1x 10^-9 = 1x 10^-5 M

pH = - log [H^+] = -log [1x 10^-5]

pH = 5

[H^+] = 1 x 10^-3 M

pH = - log [H^+] = -log [1x 10^-3]

pH = 3

Hence the decreasing acidity;

pH 3 > pH 5 > pH 7 > pH 11

The most acidic is pH 3 while the most basic is pH 11

The following Lewis diagram represents the valence electron configuration of a main-group element. This element is in group 2A A

<u>Answer:</u> The symbol of the ion formed is $Ca^{2+}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

An ion is formed when a neutral atom looses or gains electrons.

When an atom looses electrons, it results in the formation of positive ion known as cation.
When an atom gains electrons, it results in the formation of negative ion known as anion.

Electronic configuration is defined as the representation of electrons around the nucleus of an atom.

Number of electrons in an atom is determined by the atomic number of that atom.

The element present in Group 2-A and in period 4 is Calcium (Ca)

Electronic configuration of Ca atom: $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2$

This atom will loose 2 electrons to attain stable electronic configuration similar to Argon element (noble gas)

The electronic configration of $Ca^{2+}\text{ ion}=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6$

Hence, the symbol of the ion formed is $Ca^{2+}$

What is indicated by the methyl- prefix

Ugo [173]

Answer:

Explanation:

The methyl prefix means theres a CH3 group bonded to a carbon in a hydrocarbon. This is called branching because it looks like a branched tree. This is literally cheating but you do you.

Does his model correctly show why the properties of the ending substances are different from the properties of the starting subs

Answer:

Samira's model is incorrect because not all atoms are accounted for

Explanation:

The image of Samira's model has been attached to this answer to enhance the explanation.

What is depicted in that model is rightly regarded as a chemical change. In a chemical change atoms of substances are rearranged as new substances are formed.

However, all atoms in the products must also be found in at least one of the reactants. In this case we have an atom in one of the products that is not accounted for. Hence the model is incorrect.
