Answer:

E. potassium (K) and bromine (Br)

Explanation:

An ionic bond is formed between compounds with a large electronegativity difference between them. It is usually between a metal and non-metal.

Potassium is a true metal found in group 1 on the periodic table.
Bromine is a highly electronegative non-metal which is a halogen.
Potassium will lose one of its electrons which will be gained by the Bromine.
The electrostatic attraction between the two species will cause the ionic bond to form.
The ability of one specie willing to lose electron and the other gaining, is the main bed rock of ionic bonding.

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Complete Question

You determine that it takes 26.0 mL of base to neutralize a sample of your unknown acid solution. The pH of the solution was 7.82 when exactly 13 mL of base had been added, you notice that the concentration of the unknown acid was 0.1 M. What is the pKa of your unknown acid?

Answer:

The pK_a value is $pK_a =7.82$

Explanation:

From the question we are told

The volume of base is $V_B = 26.mL = 0.0260L$

The pH of solution is $pH = 7.82$

The concentration of the acid is $C_A = 0.1M$

From the pH we can see that the titration is between a strong base and a weak acid

Let assume that the the volume of acid is $V_A = 18mL= 0.018L$

Generally the concentration of base

$C_B = \frac{C_AV_A}{C_B}$

Substituting value

$C_B = \frac{0.1 * 0.01800}{0.0260}$

$C_B= 0.0692M$

When 13mL of the base is added a buffer is formed

The chemical equation of the reaction is

$HA_{(aq)} + OH^-_{(aq)} --------> A^{+}_{(aq)} + H_2 O_{(l)}$

Now before the reaction the number of mole of base is

$No \ of \ moles[N_B] = C_B * V_B$

Substituting value

$N_B = 0.01300 * 0.0692$

$= 0.0009 \ moles$

Now before the reaction the number of mole of acid is

$No \ of \ moles = C_B * V_B$

Substituting value

$N_A = 0.01800 *0.1$

$= 0.001800 \ moles$

Now after the reaction the number of moles of base is zero i.e has been used up

this mathematically represented as

$N_B ' = N_B - N_B = 0$

The number of moles of acid is

$N_A ' = N_A - N_B$

$= 0.0009\ moles$

The pH of this reaction can be mathematically represented as

$pH = pK_a + log \frac{[base]}{[acid]}$

Substituting values

$7.82 = pK_a +log \frac{0.0009}{0.0009}$

$pK_a =7.82$
