Answer:

Li-F

Explanation:

Hydroxide is a negative ion, which can form ionic bonds with metals, but the bond in hydrogen and oxygen in hydroxide (OH-) is not ionic. It is covalent in nature.

C-C is clearly a covalent bond.

Li-F is an ionic bond.

Bond between H and Cl in H-Cl is covalent in nature. Because of the size difference hydrogen can not act as a cation. So it rather dissociates.

A neutron has a mass A. that is less than the mass of an electron. B. that is about equal to the mass of an electron. C. that is

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Option C:- that is equal to mass of an proton.

Explanation:

Protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass, about 1.67 × 10-24 grams, which scientists define as one atomic mass unit (amu) or one Dalton. While electron has mass of 9.31 ×10⁻¹⁹.

For a lake in Michigan, researchers have determined that largemouth bass feed on smaller fish, which in turn feed on zooplankton

allsm [11]

Answer:

the expected decline in largemouth bass is 3,000 kg.

Option d) 3,000 kg is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

In 2016, there was 600,000 kg of zooplankton in the lake.

In 2017, an accidental runoff of insecticide near the lake caused a 50 percent decline of the zooplankton population in the lake.

Now,

The remaining mass of zooplankton after the 50% decline will be;

⇒ 600,000 kg zooplankton × 50%

⇒ 600,000 × 50/100

⇒ 300,000 kg of zooplankton

Now, with 10 percent trophic efficiency; smaller fish directly feed on zooplankton; decline in smaller fish mass will be;

⇒ 300,000 kg × 10%

⇒ 300,000 × 10/100

⇒ 30000 kg

Finally, with 10 percent trophic efficiency, largemouth bash directly feed on smaller fish, so the expected decline in mass of largemouth bash will be;

⇒ 30000 kg × 10%

⇒ 30000 kg × 10/100

⇒ 3,000 kg

Therefore, the expected decline in largemouth bass is 3,000 kg.

Option d) 3,000 kg is the correct answer.

An atom has 18 protons, 18 electrons, and 20 neutrons. This atom has _____.

Lera25 [3.4K]

an atom that has 18 protons, 18 neutrons and 20 neutrons. This atom has mass number of 38

mass number is calculated as number of protons + number on neutrons

therefore the mass number of the atom = 18+20= 38

Since the atom has a electronic configuration of 2.8.8,the atom cannot be negatively or positively charged because it is stable.

The atomic number of the atom is 18 since atomic number is equal to number of protons

When the pH of a solution changes from a pH of 5 to a pH of 3, the hydronium ion concentration is

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) 100 times the original content.

Explanation :

As we are given the pH of the solution change. Now we have to calculate the ratio of the hydronium ion concentration at pH = 5 and pH = 3

As we know that,

$pH=-\log [H_3O^+]$

The hydronium ion concentration at pH = 5.

$5=-\log [H_3O^+]$

$[H_3O^+]=1\times 10^{-5}M$ ..............(1)

The hydronium ion concentration at pH = 3.

$3=-\log [H_3O^+]$

$[H_3O^+]=1\times 10^{-3}M$ ................(2)

By dividing the equation 1 and 2 we get the ratio of the hydronium ion concentration.

$\frac{[H_3O^+]_{original}}{[H_3O^+]_{final}}=\frac{1\times 10^{-5}}{1\times 10^{-3}}=\frac{1}{100}$

$100\times [H_3O^+]_{original}=[H_3O^+]_{final}$

From this we conclude that when the pH of a solution changes from a pH of 5 to a pH of 3, the hydronium ion concentration is 100 times the original content.

Hence, the correct option is, (D) 100 times the original content.
