Explanation:
The reaction equation will be as follows.
Hence, the expression for is as follows.
Let us assume that the concentration of both and
is x.
x = 0.01118034
This means that the concentration of is 0.01118034.
Since, we know that the relation between pH and concentration of hydrogen ions is as follows.
pH =
=
= 1.958
Thus, we can conclude that the pH of a 0.500 M solution of arsenic acid is 1.958.
Explanation:
Atomic number of magnesium is 12 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 2. On the other hand, atomic number of iodine is 53 and its electronic configuration is .
Hence, there are 7 valence electrons in an iodine atom and there are 2 valence electrons in a magnesium atom.
So, one atom of iodine requires one electron from a donor atom to complete its octet. But one magnesium atom contains two valence electrons.
Therefore, one magnesium atom will combine with two iodine atoms to result in the formation of magnesium iodide as follows.
Therefore, an ionic bond will be formed when magnesium reacts with iodine to make magnesium iodide.
