Both of you are overlooking a pretty big component of the question...the Group I cation isn't being dissociated into water. We're testing the solubility of the cation when mixed with HCl. And this IS a legitimate question, seeing as our lab manual is the one asking.
<span>By the way, the answer you're looking for is "Because Group I cations have insoluble chlorides". </span>
<span>"In order...to distinguish cation Group I, one adds HCl to a sample. If a Group I cation is present in the sample, a precipitate will form." </span>
Answer:
The most acidic solution had a pH of 3.27.
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem we need to keep in mind that the lower the pH of a solution is, the more acidic the solution is.
If among the pH readings across the measured breakfast drinks, the lowest one was 3.27 (as the problem tells us with the range), then that drink was the most acidic one.
Conversely, the least acidic one had a pH of 3.88.
The choices are true about the characteristic of a strong base, except for it having a concentration of above 1.0 M. Therefore, the answer is letter A. The concentration of the base is not a very important as to how strong really the base is.
The answer is c hope it helps
These answers dont make sense
1. the 2s2 orbital will give one of its electrons to the 2p5 orbital so the configuration would be 1s22s12p6 (2s1 is half filled and 2p6 is completely filled which is a much more stable configuration)
2. Neon does not need to ionize it is a noble gas
