Answer:

In a neutral molecule, the sum of the bonding valance electrons must be equal. So the products of the negative element and its charges and the positive element and its charge must be equal.

Explanation:

C1×N1 = C2×N2

If we have a 3 valance electrons , the 'A' charge will be either +3 or -5 for a full octet and valance electron in 'B' atoms will mostly result in acquisition of additional electrons (2) for an octet and relative charge of -2.

Balancing the two,

3 × A = -2 × B

To be equal, A = 2 and B = 3

Therefore, A²B³

You shake a can of soda and open it, which cause the pressure to decrease. what happens to the volume of the CO2. the soda

navik [9.2K]

Answer: When you take the top off of a bottle of soda, the pressure inside the bottle decreases and goes to the same pressure as the atmosphere. When that happens the carbon dioxide inside is no longer forced to be a liquid and turns back into a gas, causing the bubbles that we're so familiar with.

Explanation:

However, producing foaming carbon dioxide gas by shaking a bottle of soda water is a physical change, while producing foaming carbon dioxide gas by combining baking soda and vinegar is a chemical change. ... Because no chemical bonds are broken and no new molecules are formed, this is a physical change in the system.

What is the concentration of OH − and pOH in a 0.00066 M solution of Ba ( OH ) 2 at 25 ∘ C? Assume complete dissociation.

Allushta [10]

Answer: The hydroxide ion concentration and pOH of the solution is $1.32\times 10^{-3}M$ and 2.88 respectively

Explanation:

We are given:

Concentration of barium hydroxide = 0.00066 M

The chemical equation for the dissociation of barium hydroxide follows:

$Ba(OH)_2\rightarrow Ba^{2+}+2OH^-$

1 mole of barium hydroxide produces 1 mole of barium ions and 2 moles of hydroxide ions

pOH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydroxide ion concentration present in the solution

To calculate pOH of the solution, we use the equation:

$pOH=-\log[OH^-]$

We are given:

$[OH^-]=(2\times 0.00066)=1.32\times 10^{-3}M$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pOH=-\log(1.32\times 10^{-3})\\\\pOH=2.88$

Hence, the hydroxide ion concentration and pOH of the solution is $1.32\times 10^{-3}M$ and 2.88 respectively

A chemical indicator that changes colors depending on the concentration of h+ in the solution is called a

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer is: acid-base indicator or pH indicators.

Acid-base indicators are usually weak acids or bases and they are chemical detectors for hydrogen or hydronium cations.
Example for acid-base indicator is phenolphthalein (molecular formula C₂₀H₁₄O₄). Phenolphthalein is colorless in acidic solutions and pink in basic solutions.
Another example is methyl orange. It is red colour in acidic solutions and yellow colour in basic solutions.
