Realize that pH + pOH = 14
so, 9 + pOH = 14 -> pOH = 5
pOH = -log[OH-]
5 = -log[OH-]
plug it into a calculator and you get 1.0 x 10^-5
alternatively, use [OH-] = 10^-pOH to get the same answer
[OH-] = 1.0 x 10^-5
The slight positive charges on the hydrogen atoms in water molecules attract the slight negative charges on the oxygen atoms of the other water molecules
True....
Explanation
Cells use oxygen to release energy during photosynthesis/chlorophyll/cellular respiration. For photosynthesis, the starting materials are water and carbon dioxide, and the products are sugar and oxygen. For cellular respiration, the starting materials are oxygen and sugar, and the products are carbon dioxide and water.
<span>You can answer this question by getting the atomic number and atomic mass of Oxygen from a periodic table. There you will find that the atomic number is 8, that means, by definition, that it has 8 protons. This is, because atomic number is defined as the number of protons of an element. Given that the atom is neutral, that implies that the atoms have the same number of electrons than protons. So you already know that the oxygen atoms has 8 protons and 8 electrons. The number of neutrons can vary, which is what defines the isotopes. Given that the atomic mass of oxygen is 15.999, that means that most atoms of oxygen has 8 neutrons (8 protons +8 neutrons = 16 atomic mass). But you can not be sure that a specific atom of oxygen has 8 neutrons, nevertheless, given that the other options are discarded (because they do not have 8 protons and 8 electrons), the only correct answer is the option A. 8 protons, 8 electrons, and 8 neutrons.</span>
