Which of the following elements will lose electrons to form an ion

Chemistry

vampirchik [111]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Metals

Explanation:

Metallic elements are renowned for their ability to freely lose electrons to form ions.

This is because metals are electropositive in nature. When a substance is electropositive, it readily wants to lose electrons and form positive ions.

Non-metals prefers to gain electrons and are electronegative.

The ka value for acetic acid, ch3cooh(aq), is 1.8× 10–5. calculate the ph of a 1.60 m acetic acid solution.
leonid [27]

<span>To determine the pH of the solution given, we make use of the acid equilibrium constant (Ka) given. It is the ratio of the equilibrium concentrations of the dissociated ions and the acid. The dissociation reaction of the CH3COOH acid would be as follows:

</span>CH3COOH = CH3COO- + H+<span>

The acid equilibrum constant would be expressed as follows:

Ka = [H+][</span>CH3COO-] / [CH3COOH] = 1.8× 10^–5

<span>
To determine the equilibrium concentrations we use the ICE table,
         CH3COOH             H+             </span>CH3COO<span>-
I            1.60                    0                     0
C             -x                    +x                   +x
----------------------------------------------------------------
E         1.60-x                   x                     x 

</span>1.8× 10^–5 =  [H+][CH3COO-] / [CH3COOH] <span>
1.8 x 10^-5 = [x][x] / [0.160-x] </span>

Solving for x,

x = 1.69x10^-3 = [H+] = [F-]

pH = -log [H+] = -log [1.69x10^-3] = 2.8
